Elesa+Ganter 113459-KN High Temperature Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 113459-KN high temperature level indicator is a compact electrical oil level monitoring solution for hydraulic systems operating in demanding conditions. Its full model code, HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NO-KN, describes a 127 mm column level indicator with stainless steel fixing elements, M12 connection, FKM O-rings, polycarbonate level tube, removable PC protection, EHT float execution and normally open minimum-level electrical contact.
Built for Warmer Oil Circuits
The EHT part of the code is important because it indicates a glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer float with higher temperature capability than the standard E version. In hydraulic systems, oil temperature can rise due to pressure load, continuous pump operation, compact reservoir design or insufficient cooling. The Elesa+Ganter 113459-KN is therefore a relevant choice where a standard float material may not offer the desired thermal margin.
The stainless steel hardware supports long-term installation in industrial environments. AISI stainless fixing elements are useful where the reservoir area may be exposed to humidity, oil mist or maintenance chemicals. The PC transparent tube gives the operator a direct view of the level, while the removable protection helps maintain readability. FKM sealing rings further support the use of this model in warmer oil applications.
Elesa+Ganter 113459-KN Electrical Monitoring Function
The normally open contact closes when the minimum oil level is reached. This simple but effective signal can be integrated into alarms, machine safety logic or maintenance dashboards. For many operators, the benefit is not only knowing the level visually, but also receiving an electrical warning before low oil level becomes a production or reliability issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Elesa+Ganter 113459-KN?
It is an electrical column level indicator for oil reservoirs, designed with an EHT high-temperature float and normally open minimum-level contact.
What does EHT mean in this product code?
EHT refers to a high-temperature float execution made from glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer, suitable for higher continuous working temperature than the standard float version.
Is this model designed for oil or water-glycol?
The PC tube version is intended for oil applications. For water or water-glycol solutions, a GL glass tube version should generally be considered.
Why use an electrical level indicator instead of a simple sight glass?
A simple sight glass depends entirely on manual inspection. An electrical level indicator can send a signal when the minimum level is reached, helping maintenance teams respond earlier and reduce operational risk.
