Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VNY4 Conductive Level Probe?
The Carlo Gavazzi VNY4 is a four-electrode conductive level probe designed for level detection and control in electrically conductive liquids. It combines four long stainless steel electrodes with a rugged industrial sensor head, making it suitable for maximum/minimum level control, filling and emptying applications when connected to a compatible conductive level controller.
The VNY4 incorporates 4 × AISI 316 stainless steel probes, each measuring Ø5 × 1000 mm. The electrodes are supplied at their standard 1 m length and may be shortened to suit the required sensing levels within the vessel.
Unlike the cable-connected VN family, the VNY4 uses a screw-terminal electrical connection. Its Nylon 6 sensor housing incorporates a 1½-inch pipe thread for vessel mounting, while IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of 0 to +90 °C support dependable industrial level-control applications.
Key Advantages

Reliable Conductive Liquid-Level Detection
The Carlo Gavazzi VNY4 operates by detecting electrical conductivity between its stainless steel electrodes through the process liquid. When connected to a suitable Carlo Gavazzi conductive level-control relay, the four-electrode arrangement can be used to establish multiple sensing points for functions such as maximum/minimum level monitoring, pump control, filling or draining.
The supplied 1 m electrodes can be cut to the required lengths, allowing the switching levels to be adapted to the geometry of the vessel and the application. Because the VNY4 uses the conductive principle, it is intended for electrically conductive liquids and requires a compatible external level controller to form a complete level-control system.
Typical Applications
- Conductive liquid-level monitoring.
- Maximum and minimum level control.
- Tank filling and emptying systems.
- Pump start and stop control.
- Industrial process tanks and vessels.
- Water and conductive-fluid handling systems.
- Multi-level monitoring applications.
- Industrial automation and process-control equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Carlo Gavazzi VNY4?
The VNY4 is a four-electrode conductive level probe for monitoring electrically conductive liquids. It features four AISI 316 stainless steel probes and is designed for use with a compatible external conductive level controller.
How many electrodes does the VNY4 have?
The VNY4 has four stainless steel electrodes. Each electrode has a diameter of 5 mm and a standard length of 1000 mm.
Can the VNY4 electrodes be shortened?
Yes. Carlo Gavazzi supplies the electrodes at a standard length of 1 m, and they can be cut to the required lengths to establish the desired sensing levels for the application.
Are the VNY4 electrodes insulated?
No. The VNY4 uses uninsulated AISI 316 stainless steel electrodes. The related VNYI versions are used where insulated electrodes are required.
What liquids can the Carlo Gavazzi VNY4 detect?
The VNY4 uses the conductive sensing principle and is therefore intended for electrically conductive liquids. Its switching and level-control functions are determined by the compatible external level-control relay used with the probe.
Trusted for Industrial Level Control
Carlo Gavazzi conductive level probes provide robust sensing solutions for industrial liquid-level applications, with the VNY4 combining four AISI 316 stainless steel electrodes, screw-terminal connection, IP67 protection and adaptable 1 m probes for reliable multi-level monitoring.
