Elesa+Ganter 113147-KN Electrical Column Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113147-KN electrical column level indicator is designed for reliable visual and electrical monitoring in hydraulic reservoirs, oil tanks and industrial fluid systems. Based on the HCK.127 configuration, this model combines a clear column-style level display with electrical signalling for minimum fluid level and maximum temperature control.

Technical Overview

This HCK.127 unit has a 127 mm hole centre distance and uses zinc-plated steel fastening hardware. Its FKM synthetic rubber O-rings are suitable for higher temperature resistance compared with standard NBR seals, while the transparent polycarbonate tube is intended for oil applications. The front protection is also made from polycarbonate and can be removed for cleaning operations.

The “E-NO” configuration means the minimum level electrical contact is normally open and closes when the fluid reaches the minimum level threshold. The “80-NO” temperature sensor is also normally open and closes when the preset 80°C temperature point is reached. The “KN” suffix identifies the version with an M12 male connector, which is useful where compact, standardized electrical connections are preferred.

Where It Is Used

This indicator is commonly selected for hydraulic power units, lubrication circuits, mobile equipment reservoirs and compact machinery tanks where both visual level reading and electrical status feedback are needed. Its side connector arrangement helps reduce the sensor intervention area, making it practical in installations where space around the tank wall is limited.

Why Engineers Specify This Model

The key value of this product is its combination of visibility, electrical feedback and material compatibility. Operators can read the fluid level directly, while control systems can receive a signal when the minimum level or maximum temperature condition is reached. This supports preventive maintenance, safer machine operation and quicker troubleshooting.

Elesa+Ganter 113147-KN FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 113147-KN used for?

It is used to monitor oil level visually and electrically in hydraulic reservoirs and similar industrial fluid systems. It also provides a temperature signal at 80°C.

What does NO mean on this indicator?

NO means normally open. The electrical contact closes when the monitored condition is reached, such as minimum fluid level or the preset 80°C temperature point.

What does the KN suffix mean?

KN indicates a version with an M12 male connector, allowing standardized and compact electrical connection in industrial installations.

Is this model suitable for water-glycol fluids?

This PC tube version is mainly intended for oil. For water or water-glycol-based solutions, a glass tube configuration is generally the more suitable option.
