Electronic sensor for detecting free water in aviation fuel. The AFGUARD® sensor is designed as an alternative to chemical water detectors (CWD). AFGUARD® is considered fail-safe and approved for use in all hazardous areas (ATEX and IECEx). The touch system complies with ISO 13849.
Used in combination with EI 1599 Dirt Defense filter elements
Recommended for use with all filtration technologies to test filter performance (PerformanceBasedFilterLife™).
Eliminate uncertainty by installing AFGUARD® and selecting one of the alternative filtration technologies once qualified and recommended by JIG after field testing.

The AFGUARD-ready® symbol indicates the ability of the systems to provide signal transmission between the EI 1598 AFGUARD® sensor and the controller. EI 1598 approved sensor interface requirements are derived from JIG Technical Bulletin No. 130 regarding warning, alarm and data logging functions.
Many international manufacturers already offer AFGUARD®-enabled control electronics.
