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.
