Elesa+Ganter 11133 HCV.127-E-SW-M12 Electrical Level Indicator

Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 11133 electrical level indicator, also known as HCV.127-E-SW-M12, is a column level indicator designed for hydraulic reservoirs and industrial fluid tanks. This product type provides visual level monitoring and an electrical change-over contact for minimum fluid level detection.

The HCV.127-E-SW-M12 model has an M12 connection, a 127 mm mounting hole distance, and an overall length of approximately 153 mm. Its contact configuration is SPDT, also described as a change-over electrical contact. This allows the electrical signal to switch between two terminals when the float reaches the defined level threshold.

How the SW Contact Works

The SW contact design is useful when a system needs more flexible signal logic than a simple normally open or normally closed configuration. Depending on how the control circuit is wired, the same indicator can support different monitoring strategies. This makes the Elesa+Ganter 11133 HCV.127-E-SW-M12 electrical level indicator suitable for machine builders, panel designers, and maintenance teams that require adaptable level detection.

Application Areas

This indicator is commonly used in hydraulic power units, oil reservoirs, lubrication systems, industrial machines, and compact fluid tanks. The transparent body improves visual reading from different positions, while the electrical sensor supports automated response when the fluid level reaches the minimum point.

FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 11133 HCV.127-E-SW-M12 used for?

It is used to visually monitor fluid level and provide an electrical signal when the minimum level is reached in hydraulic or industrial fluid reservoirs.

What does SPDT mean?

SPDT means single pole double throw. In this indicator, the electrical contact switches between two terminals, giving more wiring flexibility than a single contact type.

What is the mounting distance?

The HCV.127 version has a 127 mm mounting hole distance and an overall length of about 153 mm.

Why choose the SW version?

The SW version is suitable when the control system needs a change-over contact. This can be useful for alarms, machine interlocks, signal lamps, or PLC inputs.

Is it suitable for hydraulic oil monitoring?

Yes. The HCV-E series is commonly used for hydraulic oil reservoirs and similar industrial fluid applications where visual level checking and electrical low-level detection are required.
