Elesa+Ganter 110085-R-KN SLCK-NO-NC-KN Fluid Level Control Kit with M12 Connection

The Elesa+Ganter 110085-R-KN SLCK-NO-NC-KN fluid level control kit is built for machine builders and maintenance professionals who want electrical fluid level monitoring with an M12 male connector format. As part of the SLCK-KN family, this version is intended for HCK and HCK-GL column level indicators and combines visual level inspection with an adjustable electrical switching function. In applications where standardized sensor connectivity matters, the M12 connection can simplify installation and integration within modern industrial wiring layouts.

Why the KN Version Matters

The defining feature of the Elesa+Ganter 110085-R-KN SLCK-NO-NC-KN fluid level control kit is the KN suffix, which identifies versions with an M12 male connector. This makes the product especially relevant in installations that already use M12 sensor cabling, compact connectors, and quick-connect maintenance practices. The contact configuration remains one normally open contact and one normally closed contact, giving the user a flexible output arrangement for signaling and control.

Technical Characteristics of the 110085-R-KN SLCK-NO-NC-KN

The SLCK-KN range is described by the manufacturer as a kit for the electric control of a fluid level with M12 male connector, for applications with temperatures up to 80°C. The float uses polypropylene-based technopolymer in the standard temperature range, while the high-temperature alternatives use polyamide-based material for up to 120°C. The float includes a magnetic element that activates the electrical contact when it reaches the preset level. The sensor holder can be moved along the indicator axis and fixed in place, helping the user define the intervention point according to the tank layout. The M12x1 connector is described as a 4-pole male connector in glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer, certified self-extinguishing UL-94-V0, with built-in cable gland and contact holder.

Elesa+Ganter 110085-R-KN Best Applications for This Fluid Level Sensor Kit

The Elesa+Ganter 110085-R-KN SLCK-NO-NC-KN fluid level control kit suits hydraulic power units, process machinery, compact industrial reservoirs, and lubrication systems where robust connector standards are important. It is especially useful when an engineer wants a fluid level sensor or hydraulic tank level switch that works cleanly with preassembled M12 cabling. The dual-contact NO-NC setup also supports broader interface logic than a single-output arrangement, which can be helpful in machines using separate warning and status functions.

Because it combines visual indication with electrical monitoring, the kit fits well in maintenance-focused systems. Operators can see the actual level and also rely on an electrical signal for automated response.

Elesa+Ganter 110085-R-KN Frequently Asked Questions

What does the KN suffix mean on the Elesa+Ganter 110085-R-KN SLCK-NO-NC-KN fluid level control kit?

The KN suffix identifies the version with an M12 male connector. This is useful for installations that prefer standardized industrial connector systems instead of the DIN 43650 C style used in the standard SLCK versions.

What is the temperature range of this model?

This SLCK-KN version is intended for applications up to 80°C. For higher temperature requirements up to 120°C, the SLCK-HT-KN range is the more appropriate choice.

What type of contact arrangement does it use?

This model uses one normally open contact and one normally closed contact. That allows more flexible wiring for alarms, machine status feedback, or control sequences.

Can the switching point be adjusted?

Yes. The sensor holder can be moved along the axis of the level indicator and then secured in the preferred position. This allows the user to define the intervention level based on the needs of the tank or machine.

Why choose an M12 fluid level control kit?

An M12 connector is often preferred in modern machinery because it supports tidy sensor wiring, easier replacement, and compatibility with standardized industrial connectors and cables.

Is this kit only for visual level reading?

No. It adds an electrical switching function to the visual level indicator, so it supports both local inspection and electrical monitoring in one assembly.
