More wrong part returns on APOLLO paver sensors come from part number confusion than from any fault in the parts themselves. The 3L ultrasonic sensor family shares the same green body, the same connector and very similar mounting across several paver models, so two probes that look identical on the bench can be completely different on the machine. This guide explains how to confirm that the APOLLO green ultrasonic sensor 3L, part numbers 2567579 and 2527049, is the correct probe for an S2100 or S2100-2 asphalt paver screed before the order is placed.
The sensor is the reference eye of the screed leveling loop. Bolted to the screed arm, it scans a reference - stringline, existing surface or curb - and returns continuous distance values to the paver control unit. The control unit converts those values into screed height and cross slope corrections, so mat thickness and profile hold steady while the machine keeps moving.
Take the number from the label or casting on the probe being replaced, not from the parts book alone. Cross reference both directions: 2567579 and 2527049 are the numbers used on the S2100 and S2100-2 screed application, and listings that quote only one of them should be confirmed with the supplier.
The 3L body is used across the APOLLO paver range, including S1800 and S1900 variants, but the harness length, connector keying and calibration differ between families. State the paver model and, where possible, the machine serial number when requesting a quote.
The correct probe bolts directly to the existing screed arm bracket with a plug and play connector. If a bracket adapter or harness splice is being proposed, the part is not a direct replacement for the S2100 application and should be questioned.
| Item | Specification |

| Brand | APOLLO |
| Model | VGL-3L Green Ultrasonic Sensor 3L |
| Part Numbers | 2567579 / 2527049 |

Before condemning the probe, check the harness connector for moisture and confirm the bracket has not bent. A sensor that is blamed for a wiring fault is an expensive diagnosis.
Stock of the VGL-3L green ultrasonic sensor 3L is held for both emergency single unit replacement and fleet stocking:
Send your paver model, the part number from the failed probe and a photo of the connector, and the fitment check is confirmed the same working day before the parcel leaves the warehouse.
