Elesa+Ganter 113491-KN HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO-80-NO-KN Electrical Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 113491-KN electrical level indicator is a compact monitoring solution for industrial fluid reservoirs that require both visual inspection and electrical output. The complete code, HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO-80-NO-KN, defines a 127 mm HCK column level indicator with stainless steel fixing hardware, M12 mounting, FKM sealing, borosilicate glass tube, front protection, normally open level contact, 80°C normally open temperature sensor and KN connector execution.
Technical Overview
This model is built around a 127 mm hole-centre body, making it appropriate for many hydraulic and lubrication reservoirs. The SST section indicates stainless steel fixing elements, while the FKM sealing ring supports use in higher-temperature environments. The GL tube is transparent borosilicate glass, selected for fluid visibility and compatibility with oil, water and water/glycol-based solutions within the recommended operating range.
The KN ending is important for electrical integration. It refers to a connector-style execution, typically associated with a 4-pole M12x1 male connector configuration in this product family. This allows easier connection into industrial wiring layouts compared with loose cable versions, especially in automated machinery and control panels.
Functional Benefits
The Elesa+Ganter 113491-KN HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO-80-NO-KN electrical level indicator gives maintenance teams two layers of information. First, the transparent column provides immediate visual level confirmation. Second, the electrical contact can support alarms, interlocks or monitoring inputs. The 80°C temperature sensor function adds another layer of protection in systems where overheating can affect oil life or machine performance.
Best-Fit Applications
This product type is well suited to hydraulic power packs, automated production equipment, industrial reservoirs, lubrication skids and systems where fluid loss or temperature rise must be detected quickly. Its stainless hardware and protected glass construction make it appropriate for more demanding environments than a basic visual-only indicator.

Elesa+Ganter 113491-KN FAQ
What is Elesa+Ganter 113491-KN?
It is an electrical column level indicator with a visual glass tube, minimum level contact, 80°C temperature sensor and connector-style electrical output.
What does KN mean?
KN indicates the connector execution, commonly associated with an M12x1 male connector format in this series.
Is this model only for oil?
No. The GL borosilicate glass version is suitable for oil, water and water/glycol-based solutions when operating limits are respected.
Why choose a normally open contact?
A normally open contact remains open during normal condition and closes when the set condition is reached, making it useful for alarm or input signals.
Does the front protection matter?
Yes. The transparent front protection helps reduce the risk of accidental impact on the glass tube while keeping the level visible.
