Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ILMS2 Magnetic Level Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi ILMS2 is a robust magnetic float level sensor designed for reliable liquid level detection in industrial tanks, vessels and process equipment. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ILM series, it combines a stainless-steel construction with a magnetically operated reed contact for dependable switching without direct mechanical contact with the electrical switching element.

The ILMS2 uses a spherical float that moves along the sensor stem as the liquid level changes. The internal magnetic system actuates a change-over reed contact, providing a simple and reliable method of signalling high, low or intermediate liquid levels to relays, PLC inputs and industrial control systems.

With an AISI 316 stainless-steel housing, 53 mm float diameter, maximum switching voltage of 230 V AC and maximum switching current of 1 A, the ILMS2 is well suited to demanding industrial level-control applications where corrosion resistance, durability and reliable operation are important.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable magnetic float level sensing for industrial liquids.
  • Change-over reed contact provides flexible switching functionality.
  • Durable AISI 316 stainless-steel construction.
  • Handles switching voltages up to 230 V AC.
  • Maximum switching current of 1 A.
  • IP67 protection for demanding industrial environments.

Key Features

  • Carlo Gavazzi ILM series magnetic level sensor.
  • 53 mm spherical float.
  • Change-over (CO) reed switch output.
  • 230 V AC maximum switching voltage.
  • 1 A maximum switching current.
  • 60 VA maximum switching power.
  • 0.5 m silicone cable connection.
  • Stainless-steel housing manufactured from AISI 316.
  • Designed for liquid specific gravity from approximately 0.75 kg/dm³.

Reliable Magnetic Level Detection for Industrial Systems

Magnetic float level sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi ILMS2 detect changes in liquid level by allowing a buoyant float containing a magnet to move along the sensor stem. As the float reaches the switching position, its magnetic field actuates the internal reed contact and provides an electrical signal to the connected control system.

The stainless-steel ILM series is particularly suitable for industrial applications requiring durable construction and reliable level switching. The ILMS2 change-over contact provides flexible integration with alarms, pumps, relays, PLC inputs and automatic filling or draining systems.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial liquid storage tanks.
  • Process vessels and reservoirs.
  • Pump control and dry-running protection systems.
  • Automatic filling and draining equipment.
  • High- and low-level alarm systems.
  • Industrial process and machine automation.
