Elesa+Ganter 114157-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NO-KN Electrical Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 114157-KN electrical level indicator is a technical monitoring component developed for hydraulic tanks and industrial fluid systems where visibility, sealing quality, and electrical level feedback are required in one compact unit. Its full reference, HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NO-KN, identifies a 176 mm centre distance, zinc-plated steel fastening hardware, M12 mounting thread, FKM sealing, transparent PC level tube, polycarbonate front protection, high-temperature sensor float configuration, normally open contact, and KN connection variant.
Designed for Clear Level Reading
The transparent polycarbonate column allows operators to observe the fluid level directly from outside the tank. This is especially useful in hydraulic power packs, lubrication equipment, machine frames, and industrial reservoirs where quick inspection reduces service time.
Electrical Monitoring with NO Contact
The NO contact configuration means the contact is normally open under standard conditions and changes state when the defined minimum level condition is reached. This makes the component useful for low-level warnings, machine protection logic, and preventive maintenance routines.
KN Variant and Installation Practicality
The KN suffix identifies a connection-related variant within the same product family. For maintenance teams, this can be relevant when the installation environment requires a specific wiring or connector arrangement. In machine designs with limited access space, selecting the correct KN version helps improve serviceability and installation consistency.
The Elesa+Ganter 114157-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NO-KN electrical level indicator is therefore best understood as both a visual gauge and a signal device. It supports daily inspection while also helping automated systems detect critical fluid level conditions.

Elesa+Ganter 114157-KN FAQ
What is Elesa+Ganter 114157-KN used for?
It is used to monitor liquid level in hydraulic tanks, lubrication systems, and industrial reservoirs. It provides visual level reading and electrical low-level indication through a normally open contact.
What does the KN suffix mean?
KN indicates a specific connection variant within the HCK.176 electrical level indicator family. It is relevant when the installation requires a defined connection arrangement for wiring or maintenance access.
Is this model suitable for high-temperature applications?
The EHT part of the code indicates a high-temperature-oriented float or sensor configuration. Suitability should always be checked against the actual operating temperature, fluid type, and pressure conditions of the system.
Why does the product use a polycarbonate tube?
The PC tube provides clear visual level reading while keeping the structure lightweight and practical for industrial tank applications. The front protection helps shield the viewing area from external contact.
How does the NO contact help maintenance teams?
The NO contact can be used to trigger a signal when the liquid reaches a minimum level. This helps teams plan refilling, prevent lubrication issues, and reduce the risk of unexpected machine downtime.
