ILSP3MS5 – 14516048 ILSP.3M/S5 MAGNETIC SENSOR REV.
Carlo Gavazzi ILSP3MS5 is a compact plastic magnetic liquid level sensor with a 25 mm cylindrical float, normally-open reed contact, M18 x 1.5 mounting thread, 250 V AC maximum switching voltage and 3 A maximum switching current.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ILSP3MS5 Magnetic Level Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ILSP3MS5, manufacturer reference 14516048 and also identified as ILSP.3M/S5, is a compact magnetic liquid level sensor with float designed for dependable liquid-level detection in tanks, reservoirs and industrial fluid-handling equipment. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ILSP series, it uses a magnetic float and reed-contact principle to provide straightforward level switching.
The ILSP3MS5 features a compact Ø25 mm cylindrical float and an M18 × 1.5 mounting thread. Its plastic construction provides a lightweight solution for compatible liquids, while the compact float dimensions make the sensor suitable for applications where installation space inside the vessel is limited.
The sensor provides a normally-open (NO) output and is rated for a maximum switching voltage of 250 V AC and switching current of 3 A. Electrical connection is provided through a 0.5 m cable, allowing straightforward integration into compatible level-monitoring, alarm and industrial control circuits.

Reliable Magnetic Liquid-Level Monitoring
Magnetic level sensors detect changes in liquid level through the movement of a float containing a magnet. When the float reaches its switching position, the magnetic field operates the internal reed contact, providing a simple electrical signal without requiring complex electronic sensing circuitry.
The ILSP3MS5 combines this proven sensing principle with a compact Ø25 mm float and M18 × 1.5 mounting arrangement. Its normally-open contact can be incorporated into suitable alarm, control and monitoring circuits for applications requiring dependable indication when liquid reaches a predetermined level.
Typical Applications
- Industrial tank liquid-level monitoring.
- Storage vessels and reservoirs.
- High- or low-level indication systems.
- Pump and fluid-management systems.
- Machine coolant reservoirs.
- Process and manufacturing equipment.
- Industrial automation systems.
- Liquid presence and level-control applications.
