Elesa+Ganter 11118-KN HCV.127-E-STL-NC-M12-KN Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 11118-KN electrical level indicator is a transparent column indicator for hydraulic oil reservoirs. Listed as HCV.127-E-STL-NC-M12-KN, it offers visual fluid level control, minimum-level electrical signalling and temperature probe functionality in a compact 127 mm mounting format.

Product Design and Materials

This HCV-E-STL indicator uses transparent technopolymer to provide clear oil level visibility while maintaining resistance to shocks, oils with additives and many industrial fluids. The KN version is listed with the same 127 mm pitch and M12 connection format, with a product weight of approximately 153 g. Its internal float carries a magnetic element, which interacts with the reed contact when the fluid level reaches the minimum threshold.

Because this model uses an NC electrical contact, the circuit is normally closed during standard operation. When the minimum level is reached, the contact opens and can be used by a control system to identify low oil conditions. This makes the product relevant for installations where continuity-based monitoring is preferred.

Temperature Monitoring Function

The STL execution includes a temperature probe. Its operating principle is based on the resistance change of a platinum element, allowing temperature information to be transferred as an electrical signal. In practice, this helps maintenance teams understand whether the hydraulic fluid is operating within a safe temperature range.

Industrial Use Cases

The Elesa+Ganter 11118-KN HCV.127-E-STL-NC-M12-KN electrical level indicator can be used on hydraulic power units, compact reservoirs, lubrication equipment and machine installations where space, visibility and electrical feedback are all important.

Elesa+Ganter 11118-KN Level Indicator FAQ

What does the stock code 11118-KN identify?

It identifies the Elesa+Ganter HCV.127-E-STL-NC-M12-KN electrical level indicator with NC contact configuration.

Is this a visual or electrical indicator?

It is both. It allows visual oil level checking and provides an electrical signal when the minimum level is reached.

What is the benefit of an NC contact?

An NC contact opens during a low-level event, which can be useful for systems designed around continuity monitoring.

Can the unit be connected to monitoring equipment?

Yes, provided the connected equipment is compatible with the sensor and temperature probe characteristics.

What should be checked before installation?

Fluid compatibility, pressure conditions, temperature range, mounting pitch and connector requirements should all be verified before installation.
