Take a proactive approach to water ingression with the market’s first connected and most accurate breather. Unlike any other breather on the market, our connected breathers eliminate the subjectivity of color-changing desiccant media. Our patent pending IsoLogic® Sensor Technology provides a precise measurement of the your breather’s life to eliminate replacing a breather too late or too soon.
Shorten time-consuming, scheduled lube routes by collecting data on multiple breathers at the same time.
Decrease the risk of workplace injuries by monitoring breathers installed on remote or hard-to-access equipment.
View all berather statues and tren data on the web platform from anywere, anytime. All you need is the internet.

Features
1 Sensors
Measures critical values to calculate the remaining breather life, temperature and saturation direction
2 Detachable Module
Calculates the remaining breather life, temperature and saturation direction and stores breather data
3 Threaded Mounting
Internal threads provide durability and stability and can be used with one of several adapters
4 Recessed Check-Valves
High-quality umbrella check-valves that won’t clog or stick are recessed underneath the unit for added protection from washdown environments. Check-valves isolate equipment from ambient conditions, prolonging breather life.
5 Filter Element
Polyester filter element removes airborne contamination to 3-micron absolute. Unique loops allow particles to release during system exhalation, helping to increase breather life.
6 Resilient Polycarbonate Body
Shock-absorbing, clear casing provides reliable service and easy maintenance.
7 Water Adsorbent
Silica gel adsorbs water from incoming air and can hold up to 40% of its weight.
8 Secondary Filter Element
Second polyester filter element protects against migration of desiccant dust, providing maximum efficiency
9 Foam Pad
Foam filter captures any oil mist and disperses incoming air evenly over filtration and drying areas

Please Note: This is intended as a general guideline for sizing only; other considerations, such as: humidity level, frequency of air flow, ambient temperatures, and chemical compatibility are very important in sizing a breather properly. Larger applications and special circumstances typically require the most thorough analysis. Please contact Des-Case for assistance in sizing a breather.
