Elesa+Ganter 113149-KN Electrical Column Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113149-KN electrical column level indicator is a compact HCK.127 solution for oil level and temperature monitoring in hydraulic systems. It is designed for installations where clear visual level reading, electrical status feedback and an M12 male connector are required in the same component.

Product Configuration

This version follows the HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NC-80-NC-KN configuration. The 127 mm hole centre distance supports installation on smaller reservoirs, while zinc-plated steel fastening components provide secure mounting. FKM O-rings are used for sealing, and the transparent PC tube allows direct observation of the oil level.

The minimum level contact is normally closed. When the fluid reaches the minimum level threshold, the contact opens. The temperature contact is also normally closed and opens when the preset 80°C temperature point is reached. This makes the product suitable for control circuits that rely on contact opening to signal a low-level or high-temperature event.

M12 Connector Advantage

The KN suffix indicates the M12 male connector version. In practical terms, this can simplify wiring, reduce installation time and support standardized connection layouts in modern machinery. For maintenance teams, M12 connectivity may also make replacement and inspection easier because the electrical interface is more familiar and compact.

Typical Industrial Use

This indicator is often relevant for hydraulic units, lubrication reservoirs, machine-tool systems and equipment where oil level and temperature conditions need to be monitored without adding separate devices. The operator can read the level directly, while the electrical contacts provide input for panels, alarms or machine control systems.

Elesa+Ganter 113149-KN FAQ

What makes Elesa+Ganter 113149-KN different from 113149?

The core monitoring functions are the same, but the KN version includes the M12 male connector suffix, which supports standardized electrical connection.

What does 80-NC mean?

It means the maximum temperature electrical sensor is set at 80°C and uses a normally closed contact that opens when the preset temperature is reached.

Why is FKM used in this configuration?

FKM synthetic rubber O-rings are selected when higher temperature resistance and good oil compatibility are important for sealing performance.

Can this indicator help reduce maintenance risks?

Yes. By combining visible oil level reading with electrical warning contacts, it helps operators notice low-level or high-temperature conditions before they develop into larger machine issues.
