Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ILMM5S2 Magnetic Level Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ILMM5S2 is a compact and durable magnetic liquid level sensor designed for dependable level monitoring in tanks, vessels and industrial process equipment. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ILMM series, it uses a float-operated magnetic reed contact to provide reliable switching without requiring complex electronic sensing circuitry.
The ILMM5S2 features a normally-closed (NC) reed contact output housed in corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Its cylindrical construction and stainless-steel float make it suitable for demanding liquid-level applications, while the 0.3 m XLPE cable provides a straightforward electrical connection to control, alarm and monitoring circuits.
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 ILMM5S2 can interface directly with suitably rated industrial control circuits. Its wide -20 to +120 °C operating temperature range and IP68 protection make it a robust solution for industrial liquid-level monitoring.

Reliable Magnetic Liquid-Level Monitoring
Magnetic level sensors use the movement of a float to actuate an internal reed contact as the liquid level changes. This simple contact-based operating principle provides repeatable level switching without requiring physical electrical contact between the float mechanism and the external control circuit.
The ILMM5S2 combines this proven sensing principle with stainless-steel construction and a wide operating temperature range. Its normally-closed output can be incorporated into suitable control, alarm and monitoring circuits for applications requiring dependable indication when a predetermined liquid level is reached.
