Advanced Technology for Enhanced Performance
Engineered for simplicity
Parker quality and reliability as standard.
The IOS quality condition monitor for hydraulic oils uses advanced technology to produce extremely repeatable results/
At the heart of the system is a sophisticated laser and detector, using a light obscuration flow cell, providing continuous measurement of fluid flow passing through a sample tube.
Measurements are taken every second as standard, although measurement intervals and test period can be defined by the user, with results being reported immediately and updated in real time.
Data is displayed on a built-in OLED digital display and can also be stored for subsequent upload via the embedded icount’s web page interface connecting through an RJ45 cable.

IOS WiFi Capability
The IOS uses WiFi capability as a smart solution for effective remote control and data log transfer from the IOS to a laptop, mobile phone or tablet.
At 150 Mbps, the Nano router creates an instant WiFi hotspot and is designed to provide excellent wireless performance, allowing the remote data transfer to become an IOS reality. The WiFi hotspot range is approximately 20 metres indoors and a greater range outdoors.
- Saves time.
- Makes field analysis simpler.
- Individual user connection.
- IOS can be set up anywhere.
- A simple and 'smart' solution to oil contamination sampling.
Laser detection technology
The IOS uses light obscuration, light blockage technology. A light source is projected through a moving column of oil. Contaminants in the fluid interrupt the light beam, casting images on a photo diode cell, where the resulting change in light intensity produces a directly proportional change in electrical output.
High data capacity
The on-board memory provides storage capacity for up to 250,000 sets of test results. Data is displayed instantly, stored or downloaded to a PC or laptop for analysis via a standard IP68 RJ 45 patch cord connection; a 2m cable is supplied as standard. (File types - text, CSV or XML).
Robust ‘storm’ casing
Together with a fully-sealed impact- resistant stainless steel front panel, the hard-wearing waterproof IP54 (when open) case provides tough, reliable protection in the most demanding of applications.
The unit weighs under 5.5kg, making it an ideal ‘first use’ diagnostic service tool.
Quick connection
Connecting the IOS is fast and reliable. The fluid connectors are on the front panel, with two secure push fittings: 6mm diameter
Parker can supply dedicated hoses and fittings for use with most hydraulic and hydrocarbon fluids.
Long-life remote operation
The IOS uses a long life regulated 12 Vdc power supply, with an Ml2, 4 pin connector, plus a rechargeable NiMH battery unit for use on site or in remote locations.
Fast contamination detection
The IOS provides rapid detection of contaminants, with the results being shown on the front panel mounted, high visibility OLED digital display.
This provides easy identification of fluid condition, showing measured codes, the sizes per channel in microns (c), the user definable limits and moisture sensor readings as a % of relative humidity.
Fluid and pressure control
IOS automatically adjusts the fl ow rate to an optimum level of 60ml/min. Total range is between 40 and 140ml/min, with maximum online operating pressure being 2.5bar (36 psi).
An optional inlet reduction valve is also available for high pressure applications.
Complies with the latest industry standards
The IOS is designed in accordance with the latest global standards including:
- CE marking
- EC Declaration of Conformity
- Machinery Directive
- EMC EN61000-6-3:2001
- EMC EN61000-6-2:2001
- EN 61010-1:2001
