Abstract

A sensor for detecting loss of vacuum in a milking system is disclosed. The sensor has a diaphragm, a first side of which is for connection to a milk flow line at a pressure below atmospheric pressure. The second side of the diaphragm is for connection to a vacuum line. Variation in the pressure across the diaphragm causes movement in the diaphragm, and such movement causes a variation in output of the sensor, for example, by varying a pressure in an output line of the sensor.
