Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VN1 Conductive Level Probe?

The Carlo Gavazzi VN1 is a robust conductive level probe designed for reliable level detection of electrically conductive liquids in tanks, vessels and industrial process systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi VN series, it provides a straightforward sensing solution for maximum and minimum liquid-level control, filling and emptying applications.

The VN1 features a single 1 m long, 5 mm diameter AISI 316 stainless steel electrode, providing excellent corrosion resistance and durability for demanding liquid-level monitoring applications. The electrode can be shortened to suit the required installation and switching level, giving machine builders and system integrators flexibility when configuring tanks and process vessels.

For straightforward electrical integration, the VN1 is supplied with a 2 m PVC cable and provides an IP67 degree of protection. When connected to a compatible conductive level amplifier relay, the probe can be used for applications including high-level, low-level, filling and draining control of conductive liquids.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable conductive liquid-level detection for industrial applications.
  • 1 m AISI 316 stainless steel electrode provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
  • 5 mm electrode diameter provides a robust sensing element.
  • Electrode can be shortened to suit the required sensing level.
  • Pre-wired 2 m PVC cable simplifies electrical connection.
  • IP67 protection supports dependable operation in demanding environments.

Key Features

  • Carlo Gavazzi VN series conductive level probe.
  • Single-electrode configuration.
  • 1,000 mm electrode length.
  • 5 mm electrode diameter.
  • AISI 316 stainless steel probe.
  • 2 m PVC connection cable.
  • IP67 degree of protection.
  • Designed for use with conductive liquids and compatible level-control amplifier relays.

Reliable Conductive Liquid Level Control

Conductive level sensing uses the electrical conductivity of the process liquid to detect when the liquid reaches the installed electrode. When used with an appropriate Carlo Gavazzi amplifier relay, the VN1 can form part of a dependable level-control system for monitoring maximum or minimum levels and controlling filling or draining processes.

The combination of an AISI 316 stainless steel electrode, generous 1 m probe length and 2 m PVC cable makes the VN1 a versatile choice for industrial tanks and vessels. Its electrode may be cut to the required length, allowing the switching point to be adapted to the specific application.

Typical Applications

  • Water and wastewater level monitoring.
  • Industrial tank and vessel level control.
  • Maximum and minimum liquid-level detection.
  • Automatic filling and draining systems.
  • Pump control and dry-running prevention systems.
  • Food, agricultural and process industry equipment handling suitable conductive liquids.
