Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ILMPU5 Magnetic Level Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ILMPU5 is a compact magnetic liquid level sensor designed for reliable level detection in tanks, vessels and industrial equipment. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ILMPU series, it uses a dry reed contact and magnetic float to provide simple, dependable liquid level switching without requiring complex electronic sensing circuitry.
Manufactured with a non-toxic polypropylene housing, the ILMPU5 is designed for horizontal mounting and offers a reversible normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) switching function according to its mounting orientation. Its compact cylindrical threaded construction makes it particularly useful where installation space is limited.
The ILMPU5 supports a maximum switching voltage of 240 V AC / 200 V DC, maximum switching current of 500 mA and maximum switching power of 50 VA. A factory-fitted 0.3 m XLPE cable, IP68 sensor protection and an operating temperature range of -20 to +80 °C make it a robust solution for industrial liquid level monitoring.

Reliable Liquid Level Monitoring for Industrial Systems
Magnetic level sensors use a float containing a magnet to actuate a sealed reed contact as the liquid level changes. This simple operating principle provides reliable switching with minimal maintenance and makes the ILMPU5 suitable for signalling minimum or maximum liquid levels in tanks, reservoirs and process equipment.
The ILMPU5 can provide either normally open or normally closed operation by reversing its mounting orientation, giving machine builders and control engineers flexibility without requiring separate sensor versions. Its polypropylene construction, compact dimensions and protected reed contact make it well suited to automated liquid handling and level monitoring systems.
Typical Applications
- Liquid level monitoring in tanks and reservoirs.
- Minimum and maximum level detection.
- Industrial process and automation equipment.
- Pumps and liquid handling systems.
- Water level monitoring and control systems.
- Machine building and OEM equipment.
