INSTRUMENT CODING

Coding definition
The letter codes are formed according
ISO standard 3511 part 1 and 2.

Examples
• PT201 Pressure sensor for
lubrication oil, engine inlet
• LS103A Fuel leakage level switch
• TEZ402 Temperature sensor for
HT water, jacket outlet

3. The number code is formed according to following:
• PT201 Pressure sensor for lubrication oil, engine inlet
• LS103A Fuel leakage level switch, A-bank
• TEZ402 Temperature sensor for HT water, jacket outlet

• 100 series = Fuel oil

• 200 series = Lubrication oil
• 300 series = Compressed air
• 400 series = Cooling water
• 400 = HT-water
• 450 = LT-water
• 500 series = Exhaust gas system
• 600 series = Combustion air system
• 700 series = Miscellaneous systems
• 800 series = Computer/Automation systems
• 900 series = Gas systems

4. The number code is formed according to following:
• PT201 Pressure sensor for lubrication oil, engine inlet
• LS103A Fuel leakage level switch, A-bank
• TEZ402 Temperature sensor for HT water, jacket outlet
• In liquid and air systems: (series: 100, 200, 300, 400, and 600)
- XX1 = Inlet
- XX2 = Outlet
- XX3-9 = Other
- XXXA = Bank (A or B, V-engines only)
- XXXP/S = Primary / Secondary (Speed sensor only)
• In exhaust gas, per cylinder and other systems: (series: 500 - 900)
- XX1 = Bearing or cylinder number (up to 10)
- X0X1A or X0X2A, 1 or 2 = sensor, A = bank
- XXX3-9A = Other, Bank (A or B, V-engines only)
• If there will be installed additional sensors for the same variable, function and
location, the number code is formed by using additional running number.
- XXX-1, XXX-2, etc.
