Elesa+Ganter 113153-KN Electrical Column Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 113153-KN electrical column level indicator is a technically advanced HCK.127 solution for oil level and temperature monitoring. It combines a visual column level display, a normally open minimum level contact, a PT100 temperature probe and an M12 male connector version in one compact assembly.
Key Technical Features
This model follows the HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NO-STL-KN configuration. The 127 mm hole centre distance supports compact reservoir installation. Zinc-plated steel mounting hardware provides secure attachment, while FKM O-rings help maintain sealing performance in oil-based systems. The transparent polycarbonate tube gives the operator a direct view of the fluid level.
The E-NO level sensor closes its electrical contact when the minimum fluid level is reached. The STL temperature probe is based on PT100 technology, measuring the resistance variation of a platinum element. This allows temperature data to be interpreted by suitable monitoring equipment instead of relying only on a single switching temperature.
Benefits of the KN Version
The KN suffix indicates the M12 male connector version. For machine builders and maintenance teams, this can be a meaningful advantage because M12 connectivity is widely used in industrial automation. It can support cleaner wiring, easier replacement and more standardized electrical integration inside control systems.
Best-Fit Applications
This indicator is well suited for hydraulic power packs, lubrication reservoirs, mobile machinery and industrial oil tanks where level and temperature information must be available to both operators and control systems. It is especially useful where temperature trends are relevant for diagnostics, oil condition evaluation or machine protection strategies.

Elesa+Ganter 113153-KN FAQ
What is Elesa+Ganter 113153-KN used for?
It is used for visual oil level indication, minimum level electrical signalling and PT100-based temperature measurement in hydraulic and lubrication systems.
How is 113153-KN different from 113153?
The KN version includes the M12 male connector suffix, making it more convenient for standardized industrial wiring and compact electrical connection.
Does this model have an 80°C temperature switch?
No. This model uses an STL PT100 temperature probe, which provides temperature measurement capability rather than a fixed 80°C switching function.
Why is this useful in hydraulic systems?
Hydraulic systems can be affected by low oil level and excessive temperature. This indicator helps monitor both conditions through visual inspection and electrical feedback.
