Elesa+Ganter 11128-KN Electrical Level Indicator: HCV.254-E-STL-NC-M12-KN

The Elesa+Ganter 11128-KN electrical level indicator, identified as HCV.254-E-STL-NC-M12-KN, is designed for visual and electrical monitoring of oil level in hydraulic reservoirs. It combines a transparent column level indicator with an electrical minimum level sensor, making it suitable for applications where operators need both local visibility and signal-based monitoring.

Technical Purpose

This HCV.254 version is used when a hydraulic tank requires clear level reading and automated low-level warning. The 254 designation refers to the mounting hole distance version, while the M12 connection supports practical electrical integration. The NC contact indicates a normally closed level signal configuration.

Construction and Performance

The HCV-E-STL series uses a transparent technopolymer body for visual inspection. In addition to visual control, the unit can generate an electrical signal when the oil level drops to the minimum threshold. The STL version also includes temperature-related signal functionality, supporting better condition monitoring in hydraulic applications.

The product is designed for continuous working temperature up to 90°C with oil. The ultrasonic welded construction supports reliable sealing, while the side connector layout helps reduce the sensor’s required installation space.

Where It Adds Value

The Elesa+Ganter 11128-KN electrical level indicator is useful in hydraulic power units, industrial machinery, mobile equipment, and lubrication systems. It allows maintenance teams to inspect the oil level visually while also connecting the indicator to an alarm, PLC, or control panel.

Elesa+Ganter 11128-KN FAQ

What is the HCV.254-E-STL-NC-M12-KN used for?

It is used to monitor hydraulic oil level visually and electrically, especially where a minimum level warning is required.

What does NC mean in this model?

NC means normally closed electrical contact. The circuit logic should be matched with the control system before installation.

What is the benefit of the M12 connector?

An M12 connector provides a practical industrial connection format that is widely used in sensors and control systems.

Does this indicator also help with temperature monitoring?

Yes. The STL version is associated with level indication and temperature-related signal functionality for hydraulic oil applications.
