Elesa+Ganter 114167-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NC-80-NC-KN Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114167-KN electrical level indicator is a KN configuration of the HCK.176 electrical column level indicator series. It is intended for industrial tanks where operators need clear visual oil level information and the control system needs a normally closed electrical signal.

Product Code Explained

HCK.176 identifies the 176 mm centre distance. ZN refers to zinc-plated steel fixing elements. M12 indicates the connection size. FKM specifies the O-ring material, valued for heat and oil resistance. PC defines the transparent polycarbonate tube, and P indicates the polycarbonate front protection. EHT refers to the higher-temperature sensing arrangement, while NC-80-NC describes the normally closed contact configuration and switching point design.

KN Configuration for Installation Flexibility

The KN suffix separates this version from the standard model. This can be relevant when the available installation area around the tank is limited or when the machine builder needs a specific connection layout. The product remains focused on the same core purpose: reliable level visibility and electrical low-level monitoring.

Industrial Use Cases

The Elesa+Ganter 114167-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NC-80-NC-KN electrical level indicator can be used in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication equipment, machine tools, compact power units, and automation systems where fluid level loss may create operational risk.

FAQ

What is this product used for?

It is used to visually inspect oil level and electrically detect a defined low-level condition.

What is the advantage of NC-80-NC?

The normally closed arrangement supports monitoring logic where an opened circuit can indicate a low level or potential signal issue.

Is the KN version technically different?

It is a configuration variant within the same HCK.176 family, mainly relevant for installation and connection layout.

Why is FKM used in this model?

FKM is selected for sealing performance in oil, heat, and demanding industrial operating conditions.
