Elesa+Ganter 11053 HCV.76-E-SW-M10 Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 11053 HCV.76-E-SW-M10 electrical level indicator is engineered for hydraulic systems that require both visual oil-level monitoring and flexible electrical signal output. As an HCV-E series indicator, it combines a transparent technopolymer level window with an integrated minimum-level reed sensor.

SW Contact Function

The “SW” version features a change-over electrical contact. Unlike a simple normally open or normally closed configuration, the SW contact switches between two terminals when the minimum fluid level is reached. This provides more flexibility for control panels, alarm systems and machine safety logic where two circuit states may need to be managed from a single level indicator.

Elesa+Ganter 11053 HCV.76-E-SW-M10 Mechanical Configuration

This model uses the HCV.76 format with a 76 mm centre distance and M10 screw threading. The standard execution includes a DIN 43650 C connector with cable gland and contact holder. For wiring, the SW version uses three terminals, making it suitable for applications where switching output is required rather than a single open-close contact.

Materials and Resistance

The transparent PA-T technopolymer body is highly resistant to shocks, mineral oils, oils with additives, selected solvents and hydrocarbons. The indicator should not be used with alcohol or detergents containing alcohol unless a suitable special execution is selected. Zinc-plated steel fasteners and NBR sealing elements support secure reservoir mounting.

Use in Hydraulic Reservoirs

The internal float is made from glass-fibre reinforced polyamide and includes a built-in magnetic element. When fluid level drops to the contact threshold, the reed contact switches. The component is intended for fluids with density higher than 800 kg/m³ and can operate continuously up to 90°C with oil.

The Elesa+Ganter 11053 HCV.76-E-SW-M10 level indicator is especially relevant for hydraulic power units, machine tools, lubrication reservoirs and industrial oil tanks. Its lens-effect viewing area improves readability, while the electrical signal supports more structured maintenance decisions. For more details, see Elesa+Ganter information.

Elesa+Ganter 11053 HCV.76-E-SW-M10 FAQ

What does SW mean in HCV.76-E-SW-M10?

SW means change-over contact. The electrical contact switches between terminals when the minimum fluid level is reached.

How many terminals are used for the SW version?

The SW version uses terminals 1, 2 and 3 in the contact holder, unlike NO and NC versions that use terminals 1 and 2.

What connector is used on this model?

This version uses a DIN 43650 C connector with adjustable front or side output.

Why choose a change-over contact level indicator?

A change-over contact gives more control flexibility. It can support alarm, stop or status circuits where the system needs to react differently before and after the minimum fluid level is reached.
