The XKC-Y26 PNP is an intelligent non-contact liquid level sensor designed for 5-12V DC systems, compatible with PLCs and industrial controllers. It detects liquid levels through non-metallic container walls without direct contact, ideal for monitoring water, chemicals, and other fluids in sealed environments.

Features

  • Non-contact capacitive sensing through container walls (up to 50mm).
  • PNP open-collector output (1-100mA) compatible with PLCs and 5-12V DC logic.
  • High immunity to scale, impurities, and liquid chemistry (acids, alkalis).
  • Fast 500ms response time for real-time level monitoring.
  • Wide operating range: 0-80°C and 5-100% relative humidity.

Description

The XKC-Y26 PNP sensor utilizes advanced capacitive sensing and signal processing to detect liquid levels externally on non-metallic containers. Its high-speed processing chip ensures stable readings unaffected by wall thickness or container material, making it suitable for high-pressure or sealed systems.

This sensor is engineered for industrial and commercial applications where direct liquid contact is undesirable. The ABS housing and integrated 49cm cable provide durable installation for environments like water treatment, chemical storage, and automated irrigation systems.

Key Features

  • Intelligent non-contact capacitive detection principle.
  • PNP open-drain output supports direct interface with PLC digital inputs.
  • Optimized for 5-12V DC supply with low 5mA quiescent current.
  • Robust ABS plastic construction for chemical and moisture resistance.
  • No calibration required; insensitive to liquid type or container scale.
  • Integrated 49cm cable with strain relief for simplified wiring.
  • Compact 18mm x 13mm form factor for space-constrained mounting.

Applications

  • External liquid level monitoring in sealed chemical storage tanks.
  • Water level control in residential water towers and pressure vessels.
  • Non-invasive fluid detection in medical equipment and dialysis machines.
  • Automated irrigation and drone-based agricultural fluid management.
  • Aquarium and aquaculture system water level safety switches.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum container wall thickness this sensor can detect through?

The XKC-Y26 PNP sensor is designed to detect liquid levels through non-metallic container walls up to approximately 50mm (5cm) thick. Its capacitive sensing technology is optimized for materials like plastic, glass, or ceramic. Performance may vary slightly with material dielectric constant.

How do I wire the PNP output to my PLC or microcontroller?

Connect the sensor's brown wire to your system's +5V to +12V DC supply, the blue wire to ground, and the black wire (PNP output) to your PLC's digital input. The output acts as an open-collector switch, sinking up to 100mA when liquid is detected. Ensure your input includes a pull-down resistor if required.

Can this sensor detect all types of liquids?

Yes, the sensor's operation is based on the dielectric constant change caused by the presence of any liquid, making it largely insensitive to the liquid's chemical composition, color, or conductivity. It is suitable for water, acids, alkalis, oils, and toxic substances without calibration.

What is the sensor's response time and how does it affect system control?

The sensor has a 500ms response time, providing a near-instantaneous update for level monitoring in most industrial processes. This speed is sufficient for pump control, alarm triggering, and automated filling systems without introducing significant lag in the control loop.
