Pro-Range XKC-Y28-NC-DC 24V Non-Contact Liquid Level Sensor

This sensor is designed for a 24V DC power supply, which is the standard voltage used in many industrial control panels and PLC systems. Ensure your power source is stable and within the specified range for reliable operation.

The sensor uses capacitive sensing to detect changes in the dielectric constant caused by the presence of liquid. It can sense through the walls of non-metallic containers such as plastic, glass, or fiberglass. It cannot detect through conductive materials like metal.

Yes, a primary advantage of this non-contact design is that the sensor does not physically touch the liquid. This makes it perfectly suited for monitoring corrosive, toxic, or hazardous media like acids, solvents, and oils, preventing sensor degradation and contamination.

The sensor features an adjustable sensitivity potentiometer, typically located on the housing. By turning this adjustment, you can fine-tune the detection threshold to account for different container wall thicknesses, material types, and the specific dielectric properties of the liquid being monitored.

The XKC-Y28-NC provides a digital switch output (typically an NPN or PNP open-collector transistor output, check datasheet). This output changes state (High/Low) based on the presence or absence of liquid, making it directly compatible with PLC digital inputs, relays, or microcontroller GPIO pins.
