Description

The Pro-Range XKC-KD200-M-NC utilizes infrared (IR) optical sensing technology to detect the presence or absence of objects and liquid levels without physical contact. This principle allows it to sense through the walls of non-metallic containers, making it ideal for applications where direct sensor immersion is not possible or desired. The module features built-in signal conditioning for stable output.

Designed for durability, the sensor operates reliably across a wide DC voltage input, making it compatible with various control systems from 5V microcontrollers to 24V industrial PLCs. Its performance is maintained across typical industrial temperature ranges, providing a reliable sensing solution for automation, packaging, and material handling systems.

Key Features

  • Infrared optical sensing for precise, non-contact detection.
  • Broad DC 5-24V operating range for versatile power supply compatibility.
  • User-adjustable sensitivity potentiometer for fine-tuning detection thresholds.
  • Durable housing designed to withstand vibration and harsh industrial environments.
  • Outputs a clear digital or analog signal (dependent on specific variant) for easy microcontroller or PLC interface.
  • Capable of detecting objects and liquid levels through transparent or translucent non-metallic materials.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for high-volume automation applications.

Applications

  • Non-contact liquid level detection in plastic tanks, bottles, or reservoirs.
  • Object presence/absence verification on conveyor belts in packaging and assembly lines.
  • Material handling and sorting systems in industrial automation.
  • Robotics for proximity sensing and object detection.
  • Level monitoring in chemical dispensing or beverage filling equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this infrared sensor?

The Pro-Range XKC-KD200-M-NC sensor operates from a wide DC voltage range of 5 to 24 volts. This makes it directly compatible with common microcontroller power supplies (5V) as well as standard industrial PLC and automation system voltages (12V or 24V), offering significant flexibility in system design.

Can this sensor detect liquid levels inside a metal container?

No, this sensor uses infrared light which cannot penetrate metal walls. It is specifically designed for non-contact detection through the walls of non-metallic containers, such as those made of plastic, glass, or other translucent materials. For metal tanks, a different sensing technology (e.g., ultrasonic, capacitive) would be required.

How do I adjust the sensor's sensitivity?

The module includes a sensitivity adjustment potentiometer. By turning this screw, you can fine-tune the detection threshold to reliably sense the target object or liquid level while ignoring background interference or variations in container wall thickness, ensuring stable operation in your specific application.

What type of output signal does this sensor provide?

While the specific output (digital NPN/PNP or analog 0-10V/4-20mA) depends on the exact variant of the XKC-KD200 series, the module is designed to provide a clear signal for easy integration. You should verify the product listing or datasheet for the precise output type to ensure compatibility with your PLC or microcontroller input.
