- Product Features and Advantages
- High Compatibility
Designed specifically for conductive liquids (water, acids, alkalis, beverages, 等) for level high/low control and alarm
4‑electrode design improves detection reliability and prevents false triggering
Electrodes can be cut on‑site for flexible adaptation to various level heights
- Robust and Durable
Stainless steel electrodes are corrosion and wear‑resistant, suitable for harsh environments such as chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries
Nylon 6 housing with high mechanical strength and impact resistance; IP65 for outdoor and wet environments
10 bar rated pressure for medium‑high pressure tanks and pressure vessels
- Flexible Expansion
Must be used with Carlo Gavazzi amplifier relays (例えば, RN series) for switching output and logic control
Supports integration with PLC and DCS systems to build automated level monitoring networks
- 代表的な用途
Chemical storage tanks: level monitoring and high/low alarm for conductive liquids such as acids, alkalis and solvents
Food and beverage: level control for water tanks, fermentation tanks and dosing tanks
Water treatment: level monitoring of raw water, clean water and sewage tanks
Pharmaceutical industry: level and safety interlock for reactors and storage tanks
Industrial circulating water: automatic water supply/drainage for cooling towers and reservoirs
- Accessories and Replacement Options
- Required Accessory (Amplifier Relay)
The sensor has no built‑in electronics and must be used with a Carlo Gavazzi amplifier relay. Recommended models:
RN series: RN1A4024, RN2A4024, 等, with 24VDC/230VAC output for different control circuits

- Selection and Usage Guidelines
- Liquid Compatibility
Only for conductive liquids (conductivity ≥ 10 µS/cm); non‑conductive liquids (例えば, oils) require ultrasonic or radar level sensors
- 設置仕様
Mounting thread: 1½” ISO 228/1 (G1½”); confirm tank connection size before installation
Electrode insertion depth depends on control range; 標準 1 m electrodes can be cut on‑site
- Wiring Requirements
The sensor is only an electrode probe and must be used in series with an amplifier relay for power and switching output
Observe electrode polarity during wiring to avoid short circuits and ensure good contact
- Maintenance Tips
Clean electrode surfaces regularly to prevent fouling that affects accuracy
Inspect terminal tightness and insulation every 6–12 months to avoid poor connections
> 注記: The VNY 4 NS/NT (Item No. 481046) is a standard industrial level sensor from Carlo Gavazzi, widely used in process automation systems. It is fully compatible with the brand’s ComPacT series relays and PLC controllers, and can be directly used for system upgrades and new projects.
