Elesa+Ganter 114165-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NO-80-NO-KN Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114165-KN electrical level indicator combines a visible oil level column with electrical minimum level signalling. It belongs to the HCK.176 family, meaning it uses a 176 mm centre distance and is intended for tanks where clear level observation and automatic monitoring are both valuable.

Technical Meaning of the Model Code

HCK.176 defines the indicator size. ZN refers to zinc-plated steel connection parts. M12 describes the mounting connection. FKM identifies the sealing material, chosen for oil and heat resistance. PC indicates the transparent polycarbonate tube, while P refers to the polycarbonate front guard. EHT identifies the higher-temperature float arrangement. NO-80-NO describes the normally open contact configuration and switching point logic.

Why the KN Version Matters

The KN suffix separates this variant from the standard version. In practice, engineers may consider the KN configuration where the surrounding machine layout, tank geometry, or installation clearance requires a more specific arrangement. This makes the Elesa+Ganter 114165-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NO-80-NO-KN electrical level indicator useful in compact hydraulic systems.

Operational Value

Instead of depending only on manual checks, the indicator can send a signal when the oil level reaches the configured point. This supports planned maintenance, pump protection, and safer machine operation. More information about related components is available through Elesa+Ganter.

Elesa+Ganter 114165-KN FAQ

What is the product type?

It is an electrical column level indicator for oil and hydraulic tank monitoring.

What does NO-80-NO indicate?

It refers to normally open contact logic with a defined switching point arrangement inside the level indicator.

Can it support preventive maintenance?

Yes. By providing an electrical level signal, it helps maintenance teams react before the fluid level becomes critical.

What is the benefit of the front protection?

The polycarbonate guard helps protect the visible tube from dirt, contact, and everyday industrial exposure.
