Elesa+Ganter 11132 Electrical Level Indicator: HCV.127-E-NC-M12 Technical Overview
The Elesa+Ganter 11132 electrical level indicator, model HCV.127-E-NC-M12, is a column level indicator designed for hydraulic tanks, oil reservoirs, and industrial fluid systems. It provides a clear visual reading of the fluid level and an electrical signal when the minimum level is reached. This product type is especially useful in equipment where low oil level must be detected quickly to protect pumps, seals, and moving parts.
Technical Structure
The HCV.127-E-NC-M12 version has a 127 mm mounting hole centre distance and an overall length of 153 mm. It uses M12 threading and a normally closed contact configuration. In the NC version, the electrical contact opens when the minimum level is reached. This behavior is often preferred in monitoring circuits where a break in the signal can indicate a warning condition.
The transparent technopolymer body gives good visibility from different viewing angles. The internal contrast screen improves readability, while the float contains a magnetic element that activates the reed contact at the specified level threshold. The material is suitable for oils and many industrial fluids, but applications involving alcohol-based fluids or unusual operating conditions should be checked carefully before use.
Electrical Characteristics
The minimum level sensor supports AC/DC operation. For the NC contact version, the maximum applicable voltage is 140 Vac or 150 Vdc, maximum current is 2 A, and maximum commutable power is 20 VA. The connector arrangement is designed for practical industrial wiring, and the indicator should not be mounted near magnetic fields because the float and reed contact depend on magnetic activation.
Application Value
The Elesa+Ganter 11132 electrical level indicator is suitable for hydraulic power units, lubrication tanks, machinery reservoirs, and oil management systems. It helps operators combine routine visual checks with automatic minimum-level detection. This can support safer maintenance planning, reduce unplanned downtime, and protect components from damage caused by insufficient fluid level.
