A sensor system for monitoring a sealing of a connection, comprising:
- a sensor holder;
- a sensor mounted on the sensor holder;
- a closure apparatus;
- and
- a leakage detector including a channel that is arranged in the sensor holder, wherein the channel consists of one or more straight sections arranged perpendicular and/or parallel to a longitudinal axis of the sensor,
- wherein the connection is between the sensor holder and the sensor mounted on the sensor holder,
- wherein the leakage detector is designed to visualize a leakage of the sensor system by visual inspection at the channel,
- wherein the closure apparatus is a grub screw, and
- wherein the closure apparatus is arranged at an open end of the channel and configured to match the diameter of the channel, to close or seal the channel, and to prevent a blind hole of the sensor system for meeting compliance requirements in food industry.
