Elesa+Ganter 110090-R-KN SLCK-HT-NO-NO-KN Sensor Kit
The Elesa+Ganter 110090-R-KN SLCK-HT-NO-NO-KN sensor kit is a high-temperature fluid level control solution for HCK series level indicators, combining dual normally open contacts with an M12 male connector. This KN version is especially relevant in modern machine design, where compact plug-in electrical connections are often preferred over traditional connector formats.
What Makes the KN Version Different?
The most important distinction is the connector format. The KN suffix identifies versions equipped with a 4-pole M12x1 male connector. That can simplify integration in machinery that already uses M12-based industrial wiring standards. In practical terms, this often helps with cleaner cable routing, faster assembly, and easier replacement during maintenance.
Core Technical Characteristics
The SLCK-HT-NO-NO-KN version uses a polyamide-based float for applications up to 120°C. It is intended for electrical level control in oil systems while preserving visual inspection through the transparent column indicator. The NO-NO configuration means there are two normally open contacts, which can be useful in systems that require redundant signals, separate PLC logic, or multi-step process alerts.
Where It Fits in Industrial Systems
This type of level sensor kit is a strong fit for hydraulic power units, lubrication assemblies, machine tool reservoirs, and enclosed industrial tanks. In these environments, fluid monitoring is not just about seeing the oil level; it is also about sending a timely electrical signal to a controller, alarm system, or shutdown sequence. The KN version can be especially attractive where standardized sensor connection architecture is already part of the equipment design.
Design and Installation Considerations
The kit includes the float, brackets, spacers, sealing elements, and mounting hardware needed for installation. The sensor holder can be positioned along the indicator axis so the response level can be matched to the real operating requirement. Multiple kits can also be installed where different intervention levels are needed. That gives designers more freedom in reservoir monitoring strategies.
FAQ
What does the KN suffix mean?
KN indicates a version with an M12 male connector. This is often chosen for machines that use standardized industrial sensor cabling.
Is this product suitable for elevated temperatures?
Yes. The HT execution is intended for applications up to 120°C thanks to the polyamide-based float.
Why would someone choose NO-NO contacts?
Two normally open contacts can be useful for duplicated signal paths, separate control circuits, or systems where the switching logic is built around open-state monitoring.
Can the trigger level be adjusted on the indicator?
Yes. The sensor holder bracket can be moved and secured along the indicator axis to define the intervention point.
Is this only for visual level reading?
No. It combines visual level indication with electrical switching, which supports monitoring and automation at the same time.
