Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VN3 Conductive Level Probe?

The Carlo Gavazzi VN3 is a robust three-electrode conductive level probe designed for monitoring conductive liquids in tanks, reservoirs and industrial process systems. It features three 1 m long AISI 316L stainless steel electrodes, providing a practical sensing arrangement for multi-point liquid-level control applications.

Part of the Carlo Gavazzi VN series, the VN3 uses the conductive sensing principle and incorporates 5 mm diameter electrodes within a durable Nylon 6 housing. The probe is supplied with an integrated 2 m PVC cable with flying leads, simplifying connection to a compatible conductive level controller.

With an IP67 protection rating, maximum pressure of 10 bar and operating temperature range of 0–90 °C, the VN3 is designed for demanding industrial liquid-level applications. Its electrodes can be adapted to suit the required sensing levels, making the probe suitable for filling, draining and level alarm systems.

Key Advantages

  • Three-electrode conductive sensing for versatile liquid-level monitoring.
  • Three 1,000 mm stainless steel electrodes provide flexible sensing positions.
  • AISI 316L stainless steel electrode construction for industrial durability.
  • Integrated 2 m PVC cable simplifies electrical connection.
  • IP67 protection rating for demanding industrial installations.
  • Suitable for operating pressures up to 10 bar.

Key Features

  • Carlo Gavazzi VN3 conductive level probe.
  • Three sensing electrodes.
  • Electrode length of 1,000 mm.
  • Electrode diameter of 5 mm.
  • AISI 316L stainless steel electrodes.
  • Durable Nylon 6 housing.
  • 1½-inch pipe thread process connection.
  • Integrated 2 m PVC cable with flying leads.
  • IP67 degree of protection.
  • Designed for conductive liquid-level monitoring and control.

Flexible Multi-Point Conductive Level Monitoring

The Carlo Gavazzi VN3 detects conductive liquids through its three stainless steel electrodes. When connected to a compatible conductive level controller, changes in conductivity between the electrodes can be used to identify defined liquid levels and operate pumps, valves, alarms or other process-control equipment.

The three 1 m electrodes provide flexibility when configuring the required switching points within a vessel. Combined with its IP67 housing, 10 bar maximum pressure capability and wide industrial operating temperature range, the VN3 provides a dependable sensing solution for water and other suitable conductive liquids.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial tank level monitoring.
  • Reservoir and vessel level control.
  • Pump filling and draining systems.
  • Maximum and minimum liquid-level detection.
  • High- and low-level alarm systems.
  • Water treatment and process automation equipment.
