Sensors from VDO
For reliable measurement
Monitoring a variety of data is an important factor
for reliable vehicle operation and long service life.
Crucial readings include information on pressure,
temperature and rpm, as well as speed and fuel level.
Thresholds are defined for many data items and if
these are not met – or are exceeded – vehicle safety
may be impacted, or serious engine damage can
occur.
Sensors measure data in various parts of the
vehicle and VDO therefore offers a wide range
of reliable, high-performance sensors.
The product range sensors for instrumentation
includes:
• Pressure Senders
• Pressure Switches
• Temperature Senders
• Temperature Switches
• RPM and Speed Senders
• Lever-Type Senders
• Tubular-Type Senders

Introduction Sensors for Instrumentation
Pressure Senders
For measuring gas or fluid pressure in
connection with an electrical display unit.
Some senders are earthed. Other senders
are not earthed, i.e. earth is supplied by
a separate connection. Pressure senders
can be fitted with an additional warning
contact in order to indicate when the
pressure limit has been reached, as well as
carrying out continuous measurement.
The pressure sender types in the product
range include:
• Without Warning Contact, Common
Ground
• With Warning Contact, Common Ground
• Without Warning Contact, Insulated
Return
• With Warning Contact, Insulated Return
Pressure Switches
For monitoring the pressure of gases and
fluids by making contact when a pre-
defined limiting value is exceeded or not
reached. Some switches are earthed.
Other switches are not earthed, i.e. earth is
supplied by a separate connection.

7
Temperature Senders
For measuring different media in connection
with an electrical display unit. Some
senders are earthed. Other senders are
not earthed, i.e. earth is supplied by a
separate connection. Temperature senders
can be fitted with an additional warning
contact in order to indicate when the
temperature limit has been reached, as well
as carrying out continuous measurement.
The temperature sender types in the
product range include:
• Without Warning Contact, Common
Ground or Insulated Return
• With Warning Contact, Common Ground
• With 2 Measuring Points
• For Bimetal Indicating Instruments
• Air (VDO cockpit vision/VDO cockpit
international)
• Air (VDO LCD cockpit)
Temperature Switches
For monitoring the temperature of different
media by making contact when a pre-
defined limiting value is exceeded or not
reached. Some switches are earthed.
Other switches are not earthed, i.e. earth is
supplied by a separate connection.
The temperature switch types in the
product range include:
• Type A: 1.2–3 W, Common Ground
• Type B: 100 /120 W, Insulated Return

is supplied by a separate connection.
The RPM and speed sender types in the
pro duct range include:
• Blocking-Oscillator Senders
• Frequency-Generator Senders
• Generator-Type Senders
• Hall-Effect Senders
• Inductive Senders
Lever-Type Senders
For the measurement of the fuel level
in connection with an electrical display
unit. Some senders are earthed.
Other senders are not earthed, i.e. earth
is supplied by a separate connection.
The lever-type sender types in the product
range include:
• Without Warning Contact, Insulated
Return
• Without Warning Contact, Insulated
Return (adjustable)
• Without Warning Contact, Insulated
Return (special)

Tubular-Type Senders
For the measurement of the fuel level
in connection with an electrical display
unit. Some senders are earthed.
Other senders are not earthed, i.e. earth
is supplied by a separate connection.
Tubular-type senders can be fitted with
an additional warning contact in order to
indicate when a certain fuel level limit
has been reached, as well as carrying out
continuous measurement.
The tubular-type sender types in the
product range include:
• Without Warning Contact, Common
Ground or Insulated Return (ø 54 mm)
• Without Warning Contact, Common
Ground or Insulated Return (ø 80 mm)
• With Warning Contact, Common Ground
or Insulated Return (ø 54 mm)
• Without Warning Contact, Common
Ground or Insulated Return (special)
