Elesa+Ganter 114209 Oil Level Indicator with NO Contact
The Elesa+Ganter 114209 oil level indicator, identified by the full code HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-NO-80-NO, is an electrical oil level indicator developed for industrial systems where both visual level reading and signal-based monitoring are needed. This product type is especially relevant for hydraulic power units, machine reservoirs, oil tanks, and automated maintenance systems.
Key Technical Characteristics
The HCK.176 code indicates a column-type level indicator with a 176 mm fixing centre distance. The ZN reference points to zinc-plated steel fixing components, while M12 defines the mounting connection. FKM sealing supports applications involving oil, heat, and chemically demanding operating conditions. The GL structure refers to the glass tube design, offering a clear viewing path and improved thermal stability compared with many standard polymer alternatives.
The NO reference means normally open contact logic. In simple terms, the electrical contact remains open under normal conditions and closes when the defined switching condition is reached. The 80°C reference indicates a temperature-related switching threshold, which makes this version relevant for systems where oil temperature and level monitoring are part of the same reliability strategy.
Why Engineers Choose This Product Type
The Elesa+Ganter 114209 HCK.176 oil level indicator is not just a sight glass. It supports practical condition monitoring by helping maintenance teams detect fluid level status and temperature-related risk points. In hydraulic equipment, uncontrolled oil level reduction can result in pump damage, unstable pressure, overheating, and premature component wear.
Because this model combines mechanical visibility with electrical feedback, it is useful in control cabinets, machine safety circuits, remote monitoring layouts, and preventive maintenance programs. The M12 connection format also makes it easier to integrate into common industrial tank designs.

Elesa+Ganter 114209 FAQ
What is the Elesa+Ganter 114209 oil level indicator?
It is an HCK.176 series electrical oil level indicator with visual level monitoring, M12 mounting, FKM sealing, glass tube construction, and normally open contact logic.
What does NO mean in the product code?
NO stands for normally open. The contact is open in its normal state and closes when the switching condition is reached.
Why is the 80°C reference important?
It indicates a temperature-related switching point, useful in systems where overheating can affect oil performance and machine reliability.
Where can this indicator be installed?
It is commonly installed on hydraulic tanks, lubrication reservoirs, industrial machinery, oil circulation systems, and equipment requiring level and temperature awareness.
