vh4 – level hanging probe without cable

Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VH4 Level Hanging Probe?

The Carlo Gavazzi VH4 is a compact and easy-to-install conductive level hanging probe designed for general-purpose liquid level detection in tanks, reservoirs, wells and industrial process systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi VH series, the VH4 provides a straightforward solution for detecting electrically conductive liquids where a separately selected connection cable is preferred.

The probe incorporates a single AISI 304 stainless steel electrode within a durable polycarbonate housing. Unlike the VH3 version, the VH4 is supplied without a cable and instead provides 2 × M4 screw terminals, allowing installers to select and connect cable according to the requirements and distance of the application.

With a compact housing measuring approximately 19 mm in diameter and 52 mm in length, the VH4 can be suspended at the required switching level or secured using the optional VH3-4-MB1 snap-on mounting bracket. It operates across a temperature range of 0 to +80 °C and is suitable for outdoor use under sunlight, making it a versatile probe for general conductive level control applications.

Reliable Conductive Level Detection for General Applications

Conductive level probes detect the presence of electrically conductive liquids by using the liquid itself as part of the sensing circuit. Positioned at the required detection level, the Carlo Gavazzi VH4 can be connected to a compatible level controller to support filling, draining, alarm and general liquid level monitoring functions.

The VH4 is specifically designed as a simple general-purpose probe with a secure double screw-terminal connection. Because the connection cable is selected separately, it is particularly useful where there is a significant distance between the sensing point and the level controller, allowing the installation to be configured around the requirements of the tank, machinery and control panel.

Typical Applications

• Industrial tank level detection.
• Water reservoir monitoring.
• Well level sensing.
• Conductive liquid presence detection.
• Automatic filling and draining systems.
• High and low liquid level alarms.
• Industrial process and automation systems.
• Outdoor conductive level sensing installations.
