Elesa+Ganter 113603-KN Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113603-KN electrical level indicator, identified as HCK.127-A4-M12-NBR-PC-P-80-NC-KN, is a compact monitoring component for hydraulic reservoirs and industrial oil tanks. It combines visual fluid level observation with electrical signaling, helping maintenance teams read the oil level locally while also connecting the component to control or alarm circuits.

Key Technical Features

The HCK.127 format indicates a 127 mm hole centre distance. This is a widely used size for medium and compact tank applications. The M12 connection supports industrial wiring standards, while the NBR sealing system is suitable for many oil-based applications. The transparent polycarbonate tube provides direct visibility of the fluid column, and the P configuration includes front protection for additional durability during use.

The A4 material reference is associated with stainless steel hardware, giving the assembly better resistance in environments exposed to humidity, cleaning processes, or more demanding industrial conditions. The “80-NC” part of the code shows that this version includes an 80°C temperature-related switching configuration with normally closed contact logic.

Understanding the KN Version

The KN suffix separates this model from the standard version by its connector arrangement. In practical installation terms, this can be relevant when cable routing, panel layout, or machine geometry requires a specific connector orientation. Choosing the correct suffix helps prevent assembly conflicts and supports cleaner wiring inside the equipment.

Elesa+Ganter 113603-KN FAQ

What is the full product type of Elesa+Ganter 113603-KN?

It is an electrical level indicator from the HCK.127 series, using A4 stainless hardware, M12 mounting, NBR seals, polycarbonate level tube, protected front design, 80°C switching and NC contact logic.

How does it differ from 113603?

The core application is similar, but the KN suffix indicates a different connector arrangement, which can matter for wiring direction and installation space.

Is the polycarbonate tube easy to read?

Yes. The transparent PC tube is intended to provide a clear visual indication of the oil level inside the reservoir.

Why choose an NC version?

NC contact logic is useful where the electrical circuit is expected to remain closed during normal conditions and change state when the monitored condition changes.
