Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ILM82MT Magnetic Level Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ILM82MT is an industrial magnetic level sensor designed for liquid-level detection in tanks and process vessels. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ILM family, it uses a float-operated magnetic switching principle to provide dependable level indication without requiring complex electronic sensing components.
The ILM82MT features a robust AISI 316 stainless-steel body and a 53 mm diameter float, making it suitable for demanding industrial liquid-level applications. Its switching contact can be configured as normally open or normally closed according to the installation orientation, providing flexibility for level monitoring and control circuits.
This ILM8 variant is supplied with a 2 m cable, simplifying remote connection to control panels, relays, alarms and other monitoring equipment. With an operating temperature range from -25 to +120 °C and a maximum pressure rating of 20 kg/cm², the sensor is designed for reliable operation across a broad range of industrial process conditions.

Reliable Magnetic Float Level Detection
The ILM82MT operates using a float that follows the surface of the monitored liquid. As the liquid reaches the switching position, the magnetic mechanism actuates the internal electrical contact, providing a discrete signal that can be used by a relay, controller, alarm or other industrial control device.
Because the sensing action is mechanically linked to liquid level and magnetically actuated, the ILM82MT provides a straightforward solution for point-level detection. Its AISI 316 stainless-steel construction, -25 to +120 °C operating range and pressure capability up to 20 kg/cm² make it suitable for a variety of tank, vessel and process-monitoring installations.

- Industrial tank level monitoring.
- Process vessel liquid-level detection.
- High- and low-level alarm systems.
- Pump start and stop control.
- Reservoir and storage tank monitoring.
