The XKC-Y26 NPN is a 24V DC intelligent non-contact liquid level sensor designed for detecting liquid levels through non-metallic container walls. It features a 50cm cable, NPN open-collector output, and is compatible with industrial PLCs and 24V control systems for applications like water towers, tanks, and automated fluid handling.

Features

  • Non-contact capacitive sensing through non-metallic container walls (e.g., plastic, glass).
  • 24V DC operating voltage with NPN open-collector output (1-100mA max).
  • Integrated buzzer alarm output for direct audible indication.
  • 50cm pre-wired cable with brown (24V+), blue (GND), yellow (buzzer-), and black (signal) wires.
  • Robust design for detecting various liquids, including acids, alkalis, and toxic substances.

Description

The XKC-Y26 NPN sensor operates on a capacitive sensing principle, detecting changes in dielectric constant caused by the presence of liquid behind a non-metallic barrier. Its advanced signal processing chip ensures stable performance, making it immune to container wall thickness and scale buildup. The sensor is installed externally on the container, eliminating the need for drilling or direct liquid contact.

Designed for industrial environments, it features a wide operating temperature range of 0 to 80°C and can function in high-humidity conditions. The 500ms response time provides reliable feedback for level control and alarm systems in automated processes, HVAC, water treatment, and smart appliance applications.

Key Features

  • Intelligent non-contact capacitive detection for safe, maintenance-free operation.
  • High stability and sensitivity, unaffected by liquid impurities or container material.
  • Dual-output configuration: NPN switching signal for PLCs and a dedicated buzzer alarm line.
  • Easy external mounting under containers for high- and low-level detection points.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for industrial and commercial fluid monitoring.
  • Compatible with standard 24V DC power supplies and industrial control logic.

Applications

  • External liquid level monitoring in water towers, storage tanks, and reservoirs.
  • Chemical process control for detecting acids, alkalis, or toxic fluids in sealed vessels.
  • Automated irrigation systems and drone-based agricultural fluid dispensing.
  • Level sensing in medical equipment fluid reservoirs and aquarium filtration systems.
  • Smart appliance integration for washing machines, dishwashers, and beverage dispensers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of containers can the XKC-Y26 sensor be used with?

The XKC-Y26 is designed exclusively for non-metallic containers such as plastic, glass, or ceramic. Its capacitive sensing principle requires the container wall to be non-conductive to detect the liquid level from the outside. It cannot be used on metal tanks or conductive surfaces.

How do I wire the XKC-Y26 sensor's four cables?

Connect the brown wire to your 24V DC positive supply and the blue wire to the DC ground. The black wire is the NPN open-collector output signal, which switches to ground when liquid is detected. The yellow wire is the negative terminal for an external buzzer; connect the buzzer's positive lead to your 24V supply.

What is the maximum switching current for the NPN output?

The NPN output transistor can sink a maximum current of 100mA. This is suitable for directly driving small relays, PLC digital inputs, or indicator LEDs with an appropriate series resistor. Do not exceed this current limit to prevent damage to the sensor's internal circuitry.

Can this sensor detect any type of liquid?

Yes, the sensor detects the presence of most liquids (water, acids, alkalis, oils) based on a change in dielectric constant. It is not affected by the liquid's color, transparency, or the presence of suspended solids or scale. However, the container wall must be non-metallic and the sensor must be firmly attached to the outside surface.
