Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ILMM5 Magnetic Level Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ILMM5 is a compact stainless-steel magnetic level sensor designed for dependable point-level detection of liquids in tanks, vessels and industrial process equipment. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ILMM series, it combines a cylindrical threaded construction with a magnetic float and reed-switch operating principle for straightforward liquid-level monitoring.
The ILMM5 provides a normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) switching function, which can be reversed by changing the float orientation. Its AISI 304 stainless-steel construction provides good resistance to demanding and corrosive environments, while the compact 28 mm float diameter makes the sensor suitable where installation space is limited.
With a maximum switching voltage of 240 V AC / 220 V DC, maximum switching current of 500 mA and maximum switching power of 50 VA, the ILMM5 can interface with suitable industrial monitoring and control circuits. A factory-fitted 0.3 m cable, operating temperature range from -10 to +120 °C and IP68-rated construction further support use in demanding liquid-level applications.

Compact Magnetic Float Level Detection
The ILMM5 operates through a magnetic float that moves with the liquid level. When the float reaches the sensor's switching position, its magnetic field actuates the internal reed contact, producing a discrete electrical signal for a compatible controller, relay, alarm or other monitoring circuit. The output function can be configured as NO or NC by changing the orientation of the float.
The compact stainless-steel construction makes the ILMM5 particularly useful where a small, robust level switch is required. With a 28 mm float, maximum process pressure of 10 kg/cm² and operating temperatures up to 120 °C, it is suited to a broad range of industrial liquid-handling applications, including installations in the food, chemical and oil industries.
Typical Applications
- Industrial tank level monitoring.
- Process vessel liquid-level detection.
- Food-industry processing equipment.
- Chemical processing and handling systems.
- Oil-industry liquid-level monitoring.
