Pressure Sensors

Index - Pressure Sensors

Index provides pressure sensors for both vehicle and industrial applications to measure fuel, oil, and air pressure.

  • Operating pressures available up to 15,000psi.
  • Available in absolute pressure, gauge pressure, and differential pressure.
  • Numerous thread sizing, connector options, and wire lengths available.

Pressure Switches

Index - Pressure Switches

Mechanical high-reliability single-point on/off control device; commonly used for fuel, oil, or air pressure in vehicle and industrial applications.

  • Tight environmental seal perfect for heavy-duty applications
  • Full range configurations available. (set points, connectors, or thread sizes)
  • Available in different wire lengths

Temperature Sensors

Designed for a wide variety of heavy-duty and industrial applications, our temperature sensors are available in 2-wire, 3-wire active, 4-wire PWM, and dual-function configurations.

  • Pressure-Temperature Sensors Provides dual-function sensing in a single port.
  • Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
    Standalone device that provides variable speed fan control.

Temperature Switches

Index offers customisable mechanical and electronic temperature switches with a variety of set and reset-points. Available in both single and multiple outputs.

  • Mechanical Temperature Switches set-point switches engineered to last for over a million cycles.
  • Electronic Temperature Switches Multiple set-point switches, ideal for engines, transmissions, fuel, and fan control; also available with time delay.
  • Multiple thread sizes, wire lengths, and connectors available (screw, spade, integrated, or with a wired connector).

Level Sensors

Index offers capacitive level, resistive level, and water in fuel sensors. These stand-alone devices provide a digital signal reflecting coolant level or water in fuel status.

  • Available in a 3- or 4-pin Metri-Pack® connector or with an optional adapter harness.
  • Resistive Liquid Level Sensors Designed to offer high sensitivity in conductive fluids.
  • Capacitive Liquid Level Sensors Covered probe ensures no contact between sensing element and liquid; typically used in non-conductive fluids.
  • Water in Fuel Sensors A resistive level sensor optimised for detecting water in oil or diesel fuel.

Level Probes

Passive devices for either coolant level or water in fuel alerting; requires an external module to function.

  • Low Coolant Level Probes Eliminate engine failure caused by faulty coolant level signals.
  • Water in Fuel Probes Safeguards engine performance by detecting and signalling the presence of water in the fuel system.

A/C Protection

Our A/C modules go beyond monitoring conditions of low or high pressure and voltage. They stop damaging events, such as over-cycling within the A/C system.

AC-X10 Detects rapid cycling and protects from under-voltage. The AC-X10 eliminates heat build up as well as delays the A/C clutch engagement to extend the compressor’s life.

APAds™ Its microprocessor-based intelligence offers all the protection of the AC-X10, plus on-board diagnostics and year-round compressor lubrication.

Position & ABS Sensors

Our quality position and ABS sensors are available for many heavy-duty on and off-road applications.

  • Upsized cable for increased abrasion resistance.
  • Robust encapsulation and sealing to protect the internal components from environmental contamination.
  • Corrosion-resistant coatings and glass filled nylon ensuring long life in harsh environments.
  • Multiple cable extension options available.

Thermal Management

Index offers turn-key systems for thermal management; including multiplexed sensors, control modules, power distribution, and wiring harnesses. Available with J1939 interfaces and diagnostics for off-road and electric vehicle applications.
