Elesa+Ganter 11136-KN HCV.254-E-NC-M12-KN Electrical Level Indicator

Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 11136-KN HCV.254-E-NC-M12-KN electrical level indicator is designed for hydraulic systems that require both visual level reading and an electrical signal when the minimum fluid level is reached. This product type is part of the HCV-E series and uses an NC contact configuration with an M12 connector.

The 254 mm mounting distance makes it suitable for larger reservoirs where a longer visible level column is needed. The electrical sensor function allows the component to support machine safety logic, maintenance alarms or control panel notifications.

Construction and Function

The HCV-E design includes a transparent technopolymer body for visual level inspection and a float with a built-in magnetic element. When the float reaches the defined threshold, the reed contact is activated. The NC contact format is often used in systems where circuit behavior must be clearly defined during low-level conditions.

The connector structure is designed for industrial wiring, while the side output helps minimize the sensor intervention level. The product also supports improved visibility through lens effect and allows fast confirmation of oil level during machine operation or service checks.

Industrial Use Cases

This electrical level indicator is suitable for hydraulic power packs, lubrication units, oil tanks and industrial machinery where low fluid level must not go unnoticed. It is a practical solution for applications where a simple visual indicator is not enough and an electrical warning signal is required.

Elesa+Ganter 11136-KN FAQ

What does Elesa+Ganter 11136-KN HCV.254-E-NC-M12-KN do?

It shows the fluid level visually and provides an electrical signal when the minimum level threshold is reached.

What does NC contact mean?

NC means normally closed. In practical system design, this contact type is used where the electrical circuit logic requires a normally closed condition until the sensor changes state.

Why is the M12 connector useful?

The M12 connector is common in industrial automation, helping simplify wiring and integration with control systems.

Is this model suitable for hydraulic reservoirs?

Yes. It is designed for hydraulic and oil reservoir applications where both visual monitoring and electrical low-level detection are required.
