Optical sensors detect temperature, turbidity, conductivity and speed when used in washing machines and dishwashers so as to enhance the washing and cleaning results and to reduce water and energy consumption. In addition to cleaning performance, important information can also be provided for service personnel.
- Determination of the water hardness in the fresh water
- Adaptation of the detergent concentration in the cleaning process (auto-dosage)
- Allergy protection by specific rinsing function
- Adaptation of the washing program on the basis of the detergent concentration
- Sensor-controlled washing and rinsing processes
- Reduction of water consumption
- Enhanced energy efficiency
- Reduced total process time
- Integrated temperature measurement
- Motorized transmission control
- Transmission unit with speed sensor for top-loading washing machines
- Switching between washing and spin speed sensing
- Wear-free and robust operating principle of the optical sensor
