Elesa+Ganter 11052-KN HCV.76-E-NC-M10-KN Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 11052-KN HCV.76-E-NC-M10-KN electrical level indicator is a compact monitoring component for hydraulic reservoirs, oil tanks and lubrication systems. It provides a direct visual reading of fluid level while also generating an electrical signal when the minimum level is reached.

Key Technical Features

This model belongs to the HCV.76 configuration, meaning it has a 76 mm centre distance. It uses M10 screw threading and the KN execution, which identifies the 4-pole M12x1 male connector. The NC contact is normally closed and opens when the minimum level is reached. This behaviour is often preferred in circuits where an open contact can be used as a warning or shutdown condition.

Material Design

The transparent PA-T technopolymer body gives operators a clear view of oil level while offering strong resistance to shocks, oils, solvents and hydrocarbons. The float is made from black glass-fibre reinforced polyamide and contains a magnetic element that activates the reed sensor at the contact threshold. The unit is designed for fluids with density higher than 800 kg/m³.

M12 Connector Advantage

The KN version is especially practical for industrial control environments that use standardized sensor cabling. The M12x1 connector supports clean installation and easier integration with field wiring. Electrical operation for the KN type is intended for voltage below 30 Vac and below 30 Vdc, with a maximum switching current of 1 A.

Operational Suitability

The Elesa+Ganter 11052-KN HCV.76-E-NC-M10-KN level indicator supports continuous use up to 90°C with oil. The HCV.76 structure has been laboratory-tested with mineral oil type CB68 at 23°C, where the welded body resisted up to 18 bar for a limited test duration. The design also improves level visibility from side angles through a lens-effect viewing area.

Elesa+Ganter 11052-KN HCV.76-E-NC-M10-KN FAQ

What is the product type of Elesa+Ganter 11052-KN HCV.76-E-NC-M10-KN?

It is an electrical level indicator with a minimum-level sensor and transparent technopolymer body.

How does the NC contact work?

The NC contact remains closed during normal fluid level conditions. When the minimum level is reached, the contact opens and can trigger a signal in the connected control system.

What makes the KN version different?

The KN version uses a 4-pole M12x1 male connector instead of the DIN connector. It is suitable for low-voltage sensor wiring below 30 Vac and below 30 Vdc.

Is this model suitable for mineral oil systems?

Yes, the HCV-E series is designed for oil reservoir monitoring. Suitability should always be checked under the actual working conditions, especially when pressure, temperature or fluid type differs from standard mineral oil use.
