Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CLP2FA1B230 Conductive Level Controller?
The Carlo Gavazzi CLP2FA1B230 is a versatile 2-point conductive liquid level controller designed for filling and emptying applications involving electrically conductive liquids. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi CL series, it features cascade coupling, an adjustable sensitivity range of 250 Ω to 500 kΩ, an SPDT relay output and a 230 V AC supply in a compact 11-pin plug-in housing.
The CLP2FA1B230 detects liquid by monitoring conductivity between electrodes installed at selected level points. Its filling and emptying functionality allows pumps, valves and associated control equipment to be switched automatically as liquid reaches the required levels, while cascade capability enables additional control arrangements where required.
Designed for an 11-pin plug-in socket, the controller measures approximately 35.5 × 81 × 60.2 mm and provides IP20 protection. Its relay contact is rated up to 8 A at 250 V AC, while 1 s operate and release delays provide stable level-control operation in industrial tanks, reservoirs and pumping systems.

Reliable Filling and Emptying Control for Conductive Liquids
Conductive level controllers detect the presence of liquid by measuring electrical conductivity between electrodes. In a typical two-point installation, electrodes establish upper and lower switching levels so that the Carlo Gavazzi CLP2FA1B230 can automatically control a pump, valve or contactor as the liquid level rises or falls.
The CLP2FA1B230 combines an adjustable 250 Ω to 500 kΩ sensitivity range with filling, emptying and cascade functionality, making it suitable for a broad range of conductive liquids and industrial level-control arrangements. Its plug-in construction also allows convenient removal from the socket during commissioning or maintenance.
Typical Applications
- Conductive liquid tank level control.
- Automatic tank filling systems.
- Tank and reservoir emptying systems.
- Pump and valve control.
- Minimum and maximum liquid-level monitoring.
- Water and wastewater management systems.
- Industrial process tanks and reservoirs.
