Elesa+Ganter 11053-KN HCV.76-E-SW-M10-KN Electrical Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 11053-KN HCV.76-E-SW-M10-KN electrical level indicator is a hydraulic oil monitoring component designed for applications that need a visible fluid level and a change-over electrical signal. It is part of the HCV-E range, which combines a transparent technopolymer body with a minimum-level reed sensor.
Technical Profile
This model has a 76 mm centre distance, M10 screw threading and KN execution with a 4-pole M12x1 male connector. The SW contact is a change-over contact, meaning the electrical output switches between terminals when the minimum fluid level is reached. This makes the unit suitable for industrial control circuits where one signal can be used to manage two electrical states.
Construction and Fluid Visibility
The main body is made from transparent PA-T technopolymer, offering high resistance to shocks, oils with additives, selected solvents and hydrocarbons. The lens-effect viewing area helps operators read the fluid level from different angles, supporting faster visual inspection during maintenance routines.
The float is produced from glass-fibre reinforced polyamide and contains a magnetic element. When the oil level reaches the defined threshold, the float activates the reed contact. Reliable floating is intended for fluids with density higher than 800 kg/m³.
Electrical and Installation Notes
As a KN version, the indicator uses a 4-pole M12x1 connector and operates in the low-voltage range below 30 Vac and below 30 Vdc. The maximum switching current is 1 A. It should not be installed near magnetic fields, because magnetic interference may affect the sensor response.
Application Value
The Elesa+Ganter 11053-KN HCV.76-E-SW-M10-KN level indicator is well suited for hydraulic power packs, industrial reservoirs, lubrication units and oil monitoring systems where compact wiring, clear visual level reading and change-over signalling are needed. The unit supports continuous oil operation up to 90°C and offers practical integration for modern machine monitoring setups.

Elesa+Ganter 11053-KN HCV.76-E-SW-M10-KN FAQ
What is the Elesa+Ganter 11053-KN HCV.76-E-SW-M10-KN used for?
It is used to monitor oil level in hydraulic reservoirs while providing an electrical change-over signal when the minimum level is reached.
What is the benefit of the KN connector?
The KN execution uses a 4-pole M12x1 male connector, which is commonly preferred for compact, standardized industrial sensor wiring.
How does the SW contact behave?
The SW contact switches between terminals when the minimum fluid level is reached. This allows the connected system to manage two circuit states from one sensor event.
Can this level indicator be used in hot oil systems?
It can be used continuously up to 90°C with oil. Actual suitability should be verified based on the operating fluid, pressure and temperature conditions.
