Elesa+Ganter 114183 Electrical Column Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114183 electrical column level indicator is designed for industrial liquid monitoring applications where visual level inspection and electrical signaling are required together. The complete technical code HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO represents a compact column level indicator with normally open contact functionality for low-level monitoring systems.

Understanding the HCK.176 Level Indicator Design

The HCK.176 series combines fluid visibility and electrical monitoring in a single component. Operators can visually inspect the liquid column while the electrical contact system supports automated warning or control functions. This dual-purpose structure is especially useful in industrial environments where fluid loss may affect system reliability.

Normally Open Contact Functionality

The NO configuration means the electrical contact remains open during standard operating conditions and changes state when the minimum level threshold is reached. This type of configuration is commonly integrated into alarm systems, PLC monitoring structures and preventive maintenance systems.

Material Characteristics and Durability

The Elesa+Ganter 114183 electrical column level indicator includes FKM sealing material for increased resistance against industrial oils and elevated temperatures. The GL glass tube supports long-term visibility and compatibility with several industrial fluids including oil and glycol-based solutions. Polycarbonate protection helps reduce accidental impact risks during machine operation.

Industrial Usage Areas

This model is frequently evaluated for hydraulic units, industrial lubrication systems, machine tools and process automation equipment. In applications where low fluid level detection is critical, the electrical NO contact helps operators react before system performance decreases.

Elesa+Ganter 114183 Frequently Asked Questions

What does NO mean on the 114183 model?

NO means normally open. The contact changes state when the minimum liquid level is reached.

Can the 114183 be connected to automation systems?

Yes. The electrical contact can be integrated into PLC systems and industrial monitoring circuits.

Why is glass preferred in level indicators?

Glass provides improved transparency and durability compared with some plastic alternatives.

What type of fluids can this model support?

It is commonly used with hydraulic oils, lubricants and certain water/glycol-based industrial fluids.

Is the HCK.176 series suitable for industrial environments?

Yes. The series is designed for industrial fluid monitoring applications requiring reliable level visibility and signaling.
