| Maintenance Indicators |
| 1. Features |
| Filter elements are economically used only if their dirt holding capacity is fully exploited. This is achieved by using filter housings with a maintenance indicator. MAHLE manufactures maintenance indicators of the following designs: |
This red button remains visible until it is pushed in during the daily check which is to be performed while the plant is at operating temperature. If the button pops out immediately after being pushed in, the filter element must be replaced latest at the end of the shift. |

Differential pressure indicators
Pressure indicators/switches/gauges
Vacuum switches/gauges
With any filter element the collection of dirt particles continously reduces the number of open pores or, in other words: The open cross section for allowing the liquid to flow is continously reduced. Thus the pressure on the upstream side of the element (dirt side) increases continously. With pressure filters, the pressure is measured upstream and downstream of the filter element (differential pressure). With return line filters the pressure is measured only on the upstream side because, depending on the tank design, atmospheric pressure exits on the downstream side of the filter element is measured analog. With suction filters the vacuum is measured downstream. A piston with attached magnet is moved against the force of a spring, with which the indicating point is determined by the piston surface. A homopolar poled magnet is fitted in the outer part in the indicating button. The closer the pole-springs move towards each other, the stronger is the force with the magnets mutually repel, until finally the red button on the indicator pops out. |
This optical function may also be used for generating contactless electrical signals. For this purpose an electrical upper part is pushed over the hydraulic/optical part. This upper part incorporates all electrical switching elements.

| 8. Function |
| The magnetic field as previously described, contactless operates reed contacts in the electrical upper part. The desired contact type is selected by inverting upper part. Another option keeping the electrical signal electronically suppressed up to 30 °C operating temperature is also available. This eliminates false electrical signal during the cold start phase. For efficient servicing it is desirable to have a pre-warning device (so that the filter element can be replaced, e.g. with the next tool change). For this purpose electrical upper parts with two indicating points, i.e. at 75 % and at 100 % of the indicator setting are available. |
Pressure/vacuum gauges give an analog reading of the existing state of contamination of the filter elements. They require continous control to ensure that the service time and reserve capacity are not unduly exceeded. If the contamination signal is disregarded, the filter element may collapse or, if a bypass valve is installed, part of the contamination fluid may reach the hydraulic components via the bypass valve and cause failure of the hydraulics. Pressure/vacuum switches are provided with snap action switches, which ascertains that signal are issued only when the limit values have been fully reached. |

By inductivity in the direct current circuit the use of suitable protection circuit should be considered. Electrical parts are insulated (plastic material housing). |
