The FOX KIT-M – KIT-T – KIT-P Series Precharge Monitoring Kit is an integrated system designed for managing and controlling pressure on the gas side of hydraulic accumulators. Manufactured by FOX s.r.l., this set of instruments meets the need to accurately monitor nitrogen precharge status, ensuring the overall safety and efficiency of hydraulic components installed in industrial circuits. The modular architecture of this range allows operators to choose the most suitable detection type according to the signal and interface required by the specific application.

Product Variants and Construction Features

The range is divided into three main models, configured to offer different methods for reading and monitoring pressure parameters:

KIT-M: Visual Monitoring via Pressure Gauge

The KIT-M model is the classic version designed for direct visual control. This kit includes an analogue pressure gauge that constantly displays the internal pressure level of the accumulator. It is the ideal choice for periodic field checks and routine maintenance carried out directly by technical personnel on the machine.

KIT-T: Continuous Detection via Transducer

The KIT-T model is equipped with a pressure transducer. This electronic component converts the detected pressure value into a continuous electrical signal, enabling remote monitoring and data integration within centralized control systems or PLCs in the industrial plant.

KIT-P: Threshold Control via Pressure Switch

The KIT-P model includes an integrated pressure switch. This configuration is specifically developed to open or close an electrical contact when a preset pressure threshold is reached. It is particularly suitable for activating minimum or maximum pressure alarms or for the safety shutdown of the hydraulic system.

Special Versions and Dual-Control Systems

One of the main operational advantages of this series lies in its configuration flexibility. The manufacturer explicitly provides special versions or systems equipped with dual control, obtained by combining the different detection devices. The official documentation identifies the following possible combinations:

  • Pressure Gauge + Transducer: to combine local visual display with continuous remote signal transmission.

  • Transducer + Rupture Disc: to combine continuous electronic monitoring with physical safety protection against accidental overpressure.
