The XKC-Y25 NPN is an intelligent non-contact liquid level sensor designed for detecting water and other liquids through non-metallic container walls. Operating on a 5-12V DC supply, its NPN open-collector output is compatible with PLCs, microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi), and industrial control systems for automated level monitoring.

Features

  • Non-contact detection through container walls (0-20mm thickness) without direct liquid exposure.
  • NPN open-collector output (1-200mA) for direct interface with PLCs and microcontroller digital inputs.
  • IP67 waterproof ABS housing for reliable operation in humid and demanding environments.
  • Low power consumption (~5mA) suitable for continuous monitoring in battery-backed systems.
  • Broad liquid compatibility, including water, acids, alkalis, and toxic substances in sealed containers.

Description

The XKC-Y25 sensor utilizes advanced signal processing technology to detect liquid levels through capacitive or ultrasonic sensing principles, without requiring physical contact with the liquid medium. This design prevents contamination, scaling, and corrosion, making it ideal for sterile or aggressive chemical applications. Its performance is unaffected by the thickness of non-metallic container walls up to 20mm.

Engineered for high stability and strong anti-electromagnetic interference, the sensor provides a reliable digital switching signal via its NPN output. It is designed for easy installation under or on the side of containers, eliminating the need for drilling or complex integration, and operates across an ambient temperature range of 0 to 100°C.

Key Features

  • Intelligent non-contact sensing technology for leak-free and contamination-free operation.
  • High-sensitivity detection with a fast 500ms response time for real-time level control.
  • Durable IP67-rated ABS plastic construction resistant to moisture and environmental splashes.
  • Wide operating voltage range (5-12V DC) compatible with standard power adapters and logic levels.
  • Zero maintenance design, unaffected by scale, sediment, or changing liquid properties.
  • Simplified mounting for high-pressure and airtight container applications without modification.

Applications

  • Water level monitoring in residential water towers and storage tanks.
  • Liquid level detection for acids and alkalis in chemical processing and laboratory equipment.
  • Irrigation system control and drone-based agricultural water management.
  • Liquid level sensing in medical devices and aquarium filtration systems.
  • Leak detection and level control in smart appliances and white goods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the XKC-Y25 sensor?

The XKC-Y25 operates from a DC power supply between 5V and 12V. It consumes approximately 5mA, making it compatible with common wall adapters, battery packs, and the 5V or 12V rails found in PLC and microcontroller systems.

How do I interface the NPN output with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

The NPN open-collector output acts as a switch to ground. Connect the sensor's output wire to your microcontroller's digital input pin, and use a pull-up resistor (e.g., 10kΩ) to the MCU's logic voltage (3.3V or 5V). When liquid is detected, the output sinks current, pulling the input pin LOW.

What types of containers and liquids can this sensor detect through?

This sensor is designed for non-metallic containers (plastic, glass, ceramic) with wall thicknesses up to 20mm. It can detect a wide range of liquids including water, acids, alkalis, and various toxic substances without being affected by scale, color, or conductivity of the liquid.

What does the IP67 rating mean for installation?

The IP67 rating indicates the sensor is dust-tight (6) and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes (7). This allows for reliable operation in humid environments, occasional splashes, or outdoor installations, though prolonged submersion is not recommended.

How should I mount the sensor for optimal performance?

For best performance, mount the sensor flush against the outside wall of the container at the desired detection point (high or low level). Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat. No drilling or modification of the container is required, and the sensor should not be in direct contact with the liquid.
