SMCS - 1408-NS
General Information
Sensors provide information (input) to the main display module about changing conditions.
The sensor signal changes in a proportional manner in order to reflect the changing
condition. The main display module shows the sensor information on the gauges. The main
display module recognizes two types of sensor signals.
Frequency - The sensor produces an AC signal. The frequency (Hz) will vary as the
condition changes.
Pulse width modulated - The sensor produces a digital signal. The duty cycle will vary as
the condition changes. The frequency of this signal is constant.

Frequency sensors produce an AC signal. The frequency (Hz) will vary as the condition
changes.
Speed Sensor
Illustration 1 g00304924
Speed Sensor
(1) Sensor. (2) Schematic symbol.
Speed sensor (1) is a frequency sensor. Speed sensors are used in order to measure engine
RPM. The Speed sensors are also used in order to measure the machine MPH (km/h). The
sensor will generate an AC signal. The sensor recognizes the gear teeth as the teeth are
passing. The signal is sent to the main display module. The main display module measures
the sensor frequency (one pulse per gear tooth). The main display module then determines
the signal that is being processed. The main display module displays either the engine speed
or the machine speed.
The engine speed sensor is located on the flywheel housing. The machine speed sensor is
located at the output end of the transmission housing.
Pulse Width Modulated Sensors (PWM Sensors)
Pulse Width Modulated Signal
Typical PWM Sensor Schematic
A PWM sensor produces a digital signal. The duty cycle of the signal varies as the condition
changes. The frequency remains constant.
Temperature Sensor
Temperature Sensor
(1) Schematic symbol. (2) Sensor.
Temperature sensor (2) reacts to the temperature of the fluids. Examples of the fluids are
hydraulic oil, power train oil, and engine coolant. The sensor receives operating power from
the main display module (8 DCV) or from the battery (24 DCV). The main display module
receives a PWM signal from the sensor. The PWM signal will change as the fluid temperature
changes. The main display module measures the duty cycle of the sensor signal in order to
determine the fluid temperature.
Fuel Level Sensor (Ultrasonic Type)
Fuel Level Sensor (Ultrasonic Type)

(1) Schematic symbol. (2) Float. (3) Guide tube. (4) Sensor.
The fuel level sensor (4) reacts to the level of the fuel in the fuel tank. The fuel level sensor
(4) emits an ultrasonic signal. The signal is emitted up the guide tube (3). The ultrasonic
signal is reflected off a metal disk on the bottom of float (2) and the signal returns to the
sensor. The sensor measures the time that is required for the ultrasonic signal to travel from
the sensor to the float and then back to the sensor. The sensor also measures the level of
the fuel. The open status or the grounded status of contact 3 tells the sensor whether the
sensor is installed in a deep tank or the sensor is installed in a shallow tank. Contact 3 is
open if the maximum depth of the tank is 2286 mm (90 inch). Contact 3 is grounded if the
maximum depth of the tank is 1150 mm (45 inch). The sensor receives the operating power
from the machine electrical system. The main display module receives a PWM signal from
the sensor. The signal will change as the fuel level changes. The main display module
measures the duty cycle of the sensor signal in order to determine the fuel level.
Note: The fuel level sensor cannot be bench tested. The sensor must have fuel in the guide
tube (3) in order to operate properly. The sensor can only be tested while the sensor is
installed on the machine. For specifications and test procedures, see Diagnostic Function,
"Pulse Width Modulated Sensor".
Pressure Sensor
Pressure Sensor
The pressure sensor reacts to the pressure of the fluids. The sensor receives operating
power from the main display module (8 DCV) or from the battery (24 DCV). The main
display module receives a PWM signal from the sensor. The signal changes as the fluid
pressure changes. The main display module measures the duty cycle of the sensor signal in
order to determine the fluid pressure.
