0561006199 - ESAB Coolant Level Sensor Kit for OCE Cooling Units

Technical Overview of the ESAB Low Level Indicator Kit

The ESAB Low Level Indicator Kit (SKU: 0561006199) is a specialized electromechanical accessory designed for integration with ESAB welding cooling units, specifically the OCE series and compatible water circulators. This component serves as a critical safety interlock within the welding system's thermal management loop. Its primary function is to continuously monitor the volume of coolant within the reservoir. Upon detection of a fluid level dropping below the safe operational threshold, the indicator triggers a signal that can be used to alert the operator or interrupt the welding process, thereby preventing catastrophic failure of the cooling pump due to cavitation or dry running.

Constructed to meet ESAB's rigorous OEM standards, the kit includes the sensor assembly, necessary wiring harnesses for connection to the cooling unit's internal terminal block, and mounting hardware. The sensor utilizes a reliable mechanism resistant to the common contaminants found in industrial welding coolants. Proper installation of this device ensures compliance with equipment warranty requirements regarding thermal protection. It is an essential retrofit or replacement part for maintaining the longevity of high-amperage water-cooled MIG and TIG systems where consistent heat dissipation is mandatory for duty cycle adherence.

Maintenance personnel should verify compatibility with the specific model of the cooling unit before installation. The device is engineered to operate within the standard voltage and environmental conditions of ESAB industrial power sources. By preventing the circulation of air in the cooling lines, it also aids in maintaining stable arc characteristics that can otherwise be affected by overheating power cables or torch heads.
