Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VPC105 Conductive Level Probe?
The Carlo Gavazzi VPC105 is a robust conductive liquid level probe designed for point-level monitoring in tanks, reservoirs and industrial process vessels. Developed for use with compatible Carlo Gavazzi conductive level-control equipment, it provides a simple and dependable means of detecting electrically conductive liquids.
The VPC105 is configured with one stainless-steel probe measuring 0.5 m in length. The corrosion-resistant electrode provides a durable sensing element for industrial liquid-level applications and can be used as part of filling, emptying, high-level or low-level control systems.
Unlike optical or float-based sensors, a conductive probe works with an associated level controller to detect the electrical conductivity of the liquid between the sensing electrode and a reference electrode or conductive vessel. This straightforward sensing principle makes the VPC105 particularly suitable for water and other compatible conductive liquids in industrial automation systems.

Reliable & Durable Conductive Level Detection
The Carlo Gavazzi VPC105 operates as the sensing electrode in a conductive level-control system. When a conductive liquid reaches the probe, an electrical path is established through the liquid to a reference electrode or conductive vessel. The connected level controller detects this change and can operate a relay output for pump, valve or alarm control.
With no float, optical lens or other moving sensing mechanism, the VPC105 provides a straightforward solution for industrial level monitoring. Its stainless-steel electrode is designed for durable service in compatible liquids, while the 0.5 m probe length provides a practical sensing depth for tanks and process vessels.
