Suggested roughness of the packing ring application surface Ra = 3 µm.
Float
Glass-fibre reinforced polyamide based (PA) technopolymer, black colour, with a built-in magnetic element to activate the electric contact when the float reaches the contact threshold indicated in the drawing (data referred to mineral oil type CB68, according to ISO 3498, temperature 23°C).
Floating is ensured by fluids with densities higher than 800 kg/m3.
Bracket with male connector
Perfectly watertight, incorporating the relay (reed) with two output conductors (NO and NC version) and/or with MAX temperature sensor (80°C) and/or temperature probe.

For a correct assembly see Warnings.
Female connector (DIN 43650 C)
With built-in cable gland and contact holder. Front or axial output (high or low) ensuring protection against water sprays (protection class IP 65 according to table EN 60529).
Contrast screen
White lacquered aluminium. The housing, in the appropriate external rear slot, guarantees the best protection from direct contact with fluid.
It can be taken out from the inclined side, before assembly to allow the insertion of level lines or words.
Standard executions
See configuration table.
Maximum continuous working temperature
90°C (with oil).
The HCV-E-S level indicators, in addition to the visual level indicator, also provide an electrical signal when the minimum fluid level value is reached.
The HCV-E-ST indicators also provide an electrical signal when the maximum preset temperature value (80°C) is reached.
The HCV-E-STL indicators provide an analogue electrical signal of the oil temperature.
The lateral connector output allows the level of intervention of the sensor to be minimised.
Ultrasound welding to guarantee a perfect seal.
Maximum fluid level visibility even from side positions.
Lens effect for a better visibility of the fluid level.
In case of use of an extension with angled connector, the direction of the cable output is shown in Fig.1.
Technical data
In laboratory tests carried out with mineral oil type CB68 (according to ISO 3498) at 23°C for a limited period of time, the weld stood up to: 18 bar (HCV.76), 18 bar (HCV.127) and 12 bar (HCV.254).
For use with other fluids and under different pressure and temperature conditions, please contact ELESA Technical Department.
In any case we suggest to verify the suitability of the product under the actual working conditions.
- NO: Electrical contact closes when the minimum and/or preset temperature of 80°C is reached.
- NC: Electrical contact opens when the minimum and/or preset temperature of 80°C is reached.
Functioning of the temperature electrical probe (STL)
The working principle of the temperature probe is to measure the variation of resistance of a platinum element: 100 ohm = 0°C, 138.4 ohm = 100°C.
The function between temperature (T) and resistance (R) is approximately linear over a small temperature range: for example, if you assume that it is linear over the 0° to 100°C range, the error at 50°C is 0.4°C.
For precision measurement, it is necessary to linearise the resistance to give an accurate temperature. The most recent definition of the function between resistance and temperature is International Temperature Standard 90 (ITS-90). The function between resistance and temperature, obtained in laboratory tests, measuring directly the resistance value on the contacts is shown in the graph. We suggest, anyway, to set the system in order to compensate both heat dissipation and cable resistance.
The temperature variation of 1°C causes a 0.384 ohm variation in the probe resistance. Therefore, even a small error in the resistance measurement (for example, if the resistance of the cables connecting to the probe were not considered) translates into a significant error in the temperature measurement.
Because of the low signal levels, it is important to keep any cables away from electric cables, motors, switchgear and other devices that may emit magnetic or electrical noise. Using screened cable, with the screen grounded at one end, may help to reduce interference.
Furthermore, if long connection cables are used, make sure that the signal measurement and reception device is designed to compensate for the resistance of the cables themselves.
