Elesa+Ganter 113499 Column Level Indicator: Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 113499 column level indicator, model HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NC-STL, is an electrical oil level indicator designed for clear visual checking and minimum level signalling. It is especially relevant where a normally closed contact is preferred for monitoring logic in hydraulic or lubrication systems.

Technical Design

The product uses a 127 mm mounting distance and M12 threaded connections. Its SST construction indicates stainless steel fastening hardware, supporting durability in industrial environments. The FKM sealing ring is a strong choice for applications requiring reliable sealing performance under elevated temperature conditions. The GL level tube provides transparent visual monitoring of the fluid column.

The “E-NC-STL” section defines the electrical configuration. “E” refers to the level sensor, “NC” means normally closed contact, and “STL” indicates a lateral output arrangement. This configuration is often valued in monitoring circuits where loss of signal or level movement must be detected with a defined fail-aware logic.

Operational Use

The Elesa+Ganter 113499 column level indicator is suitable for hydraulic tanks, oil reservoirs, lubrication systems and industrial machines where fluid level is a maintenance-critical parameter. It helps combine manual inspection with an electrical signal, reducing dependence on visual checks alone.

FAQ

What is Elesa+Ganter 113499?

It is a column level indicator with a normally closed electrical minimum level contact.

Why use an NC version?

An NC version is often chosen when the control strategy requires a normally closed circuit that changes state at the level threshold.

What does STL indicate?

STL refers to the lateral output version, which can simplify cable routing in compact industrial layouts.

Is this suitable for hydraulic reservoirs?

Yes, it is commonly considered for hydraulic reservoirs and oil-based systems, provided the operating conditions match the product specifications.
