Elesa+Ganter 11051-KN HCV.76-E-NO-M10-KN Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 11051-KN HCV.76-E-NO-M10-KN electrical level indicator is designed for hydraulic tanks and oil reservoirs where visual fluid monitoring and minimum-level electrical signalling are required in one compact component. As part of the HCV-E series, this model combines a transparent technopolymer body with a built-in magnetic float and a lateral sensor configuration.

Technical Overview

This model has a 76 mm centre distance, M10 screw threading and a 4-pole M12x1 male connector. The “NO” contact means normally open: the electrical contact closes when the minimum fluid level is reached. This makes the unit suitable for applications where a control panel, relay or monitoring system must receive a clear signal when oil level drops below the safe operating threshold.

The body is made from transparent PA-T technopolymer, selected for resistance to shocks, oils with additives, solvents, hydrocarbons, petrol, naphtha and phosphoric esters. Its black glass-fibre reinforced polyamide float contains a magnetic element that activates the reed contact at the defined threshold. For reliable buoyancy, the fluid density should be higher than 800 kg/m³.

Performance in Hydraulic Applications

The indicator supports continuous operation up to 90°C with oil. The HCV.76 configuration has been laboratory-tested with mineral oil type CB68 at 23°C, where the welded structure withstood up to 18 bar for a limited period. Its lens-effect viewing area improves readability, even from side positions, while the lateral connector helps reduce the sensor intervention level.

Elesa+Ganter 11051-KN HCV.76-E-NO-M10-KN Installation and Use

The KN execution uses the M12x1 connector and is rated for low-voltage operation below 30 Vac and below 30 Vdc. It should not be mounted near magnetic fields, as magnetic interference may affect the reed sensor. For additional technical context, visit Elesa+Ganter information.

Elesa+Ganter 11051-KN HCV.76-E-NO-M10-KN FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 11051-KN HCV.76-E-NO-M10-KN used for?

It is used to monitor fluid level in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication tanks and oil systems. It provides both visual level indication and an electrical signal when the minimum level is reached.

What does NO mean in this product code?

NO means normally open. In normal conditions the contact remains open, and when the minimum oil level is reached, the contact closes to send a signal.

What connector does this version use?

The KN version uses a 4-pole M12x1 male connector, commonly preferred in industrial systems where compact wiring and reliable sensor connection are required.

Can this indicator be used with alcohol-based fluids?

Standard PA-T technopolymer versions should avoid contact with alcohol or detergents containing alcohol. Special executions may be required for alcohol-containing fluids.
