Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VH3 Level Hanging Probe?

The Carlo Gavazzi VH3 is a durable conductive level hanging probe designed for reliable liquid level detection in swimming pools, wells, reservoirs and tanks. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi conductive level sensing range, the VH3 is particularly suited to applications involving high chlorine concentrations or high salinity where robust materials are required.

The probe uses a single AISI 316L stainless steel electrode to detect conductive liquids and is supplied with a permanently connected 6 m UV-resistant PVC cable. Its polycarbonate housing and PA6 overmould provide a robust construction suitable for industrial and outdoor applications, including installations exposed to sunlight.

With a compact probe length of 65.5 mm and an operating temperature range of 0 to +80 °C, the VH3 provides a practical solution for suspended liquid level sensing. The probe can also be installed using the optional VH3-4-MB1 snap-on mounting bracket, which provides secure positioning where a fixed installation is required.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable conductive liquid level sensing for industrial and commercial applications.
  • AISI 316L stainless steel electrode provides excellent resistance to demanding liquid environments.
  • Designed to withstand high chlorine and high salinity conditions.
  • Supplied with a permanently connected 6 m UV-resistant PVC cable.
  • Suitable for swimming pools, wells, reservoirs and tanks.
  • Can be used outdoors under sunlight.
  • Compact hanging design simplifies installation at the required detection level.
  • Optional VH3-4-MB1 snap-on bracket provides secure fixed mounting.

Key Features

  • Carlo Gavazzi VH3 conductive level probe.
  • Single AISI 316L stainless steel sensing electrode.
  • 6 m UV-resistant PVC connection cable.
  • 65.5 mm probe length.
  • Conductive sensing principle.
  • Operating temperature range of 0 to +80 °C.
  • Polycarbonate housing with PA6 overmould.
  • Designed for liquids containing high levels of chlorine or salt.
  • Suitable for outdoor applications.
  • Compatible with the optional VH3-4-MB1 snap-on bracket.

Reliable Conductive Level Detection for Demanding Liquids

Conductive level sensing detects the presence of an electrically conductive liquid at the position of the sensing electrode. When installed at the required level, the Carlo Gavazzi VH3 can form part of a conductive level control system used to monitor liquid presence and support filling, draining, alarm or level-control functions.

The VH3 has been specifically developed for demanding water applications, including swimming pools where chlorine concentrations can be high and installations involving saline water. Its AISI 316L stainless steel electrode, UV-resistant cable and robust housing materials also make it suitable for wells, reservoirs, tanks and outdoor installations.

Typical Applications

  • Swimming pool water level detection.
  • High-chlorine water applications.
  • Saline and high-salinity water level sensing.
  • Wells and water storage systems.
  • Reservoir level monitoring.
  • Industrial and commercial tanks.
  • Outdoor liquid level installations.
  • Conductive filling, draining and level control systems.
