Elesa+Ganter 114183-KN Electrical Column Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 114183-KN electrical column level indicator is engineered for industrial liquid monitoring systems where visual inspection and low-level signaling are required simultaneously. The technical code HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO-KN identifies a protected column indicator configuration with normally open contact technology and industrial-grade sealing performance.
Visual and Electrical Monitoring in One Unit
Industrial machinery often requires continuous fluid monitoring to protect pumps, lubrication systems and hydraulic assemblies. The HCK.176 structure allows maintenance teams to visually inspect liquid levels while the electrical contact system communicates low-level conditions directly to the machine control system.
Advantages of Normally Open Contact Design
The NO contact structure changes state when the liquid reaches the minimum threshold. This feature allows operators to connect the level indicator to alarms or automation systems that help reduce the risk of dry running, overheating or lubrication failure.
Construction and Material Features
The Elesa+Ganter 114183-KN electrical column level indicator includes FKM sealing technology for chemical and thermal resistance. The GL glass tube helps maintain visibility in demanding industrial conditions, while the polycarbonate protection layer supports safer operation in exposed installation areas.
Common Industrial Applications
This level indicator is frequently associated with hydraulic power packs, lubrication reservoirs, industrial presses and process systems where low-level detection improves operational reliability. It supports both manual inspection and automated maintenance monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main purpose of the 114183-KN?
It is designed for liquid level visibility and electrical low-level signaling in industrial systems.
Why are FKM seals used?
FKM seals are selected for strong resistance to oils, industrial fluids and temperature exposure.
What does the KN suffix indicate?
The KN suffix refers to the specific protected product execution listed in the technical reference.
Can this indicator help reduce maintenance downtime?
Yes. Early low-level detection helps operators react before lubrication or hydraulic failures occur.
Where is this model commonly installed?
It is commonly installed on hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication systems and industrial machinery tanks.
