Elesa+Ganter 113183-KN HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO-KN Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113183-KN HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO-KN electrical level indicator is a compact column level indicator developed for industrial fluid monitoring applications. It combines visual level reading with a minimum-level electrical signal, giving maintenance teams and machine builders a practical way to track reservoir condition before fluid loss affects equipment performance.

Elesa+Ganter 113183-KN Product Design and Function

This model belongs to the HCK.127 size range, which uses a 127 mm hole centre distance and an M12 mounting connection. The ZN code refers to zinc-plated steel screws, nuts and washers. The FKM seal supports demanding thermal conditions, while the GL transparent tube is made from borosilicate glass for use with oil, water and water-glycol based solutions up to 50%.

The NO-KN configuration is based on a normally open minimum-level contact. In normal operation, the circuit remains open until the monitored fluid reaches the minimum threshold. Once that point is reached, the contact closes and can be used to activate a warning device, signal a controller or support preventive maintenance routines.

Elesa+Ganter 113183-KN Application Areas

This electrical level indicator is suitable for hydraulic tanks, oil reservoirs, industrial automation equipment, lubrication units, compact power packs and machinery where operators need a clear reading without relying only on electronic sensors. Its transparent front protection is removable for cleaning, helping preserve visibility in dusty or oily environments.

Practical Advantages

The 113183-KN version is useful when an installation needs a short, robust fluid level indicator with an electrical low-level output. Its borosilicate glass tube supports mixed fluid compatibility, and the FKM sealing system helps extend suitability in warmer operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of product is Elesa+Ganter 113183-KN?

It is an electrical level indicator with visual column reading and a minimum-level sensor output.

What does the NO function do?

The normally open contact closes when the minimum fluid level is reached, making it suitable for low-level alarm circuits.

Can this indicator be used with water-glycol mixtures?

Yes. The GL glass tube version is designed for oil, water and water-glycol based solutions up to 50%, subject to application verification.

Is FKM better for higher temperatures?

FKM is commonly selected where higher continuous working temperature resistance is needed compared with basic sealing materials.

Where should this model be installed?

It is typically installed on the side of a reservoir or tank where operators can easily see the fluid column and where the sensor wiring can be safely routed.
