Description

The XKC-KD200-V sensor employs an infrared (IR) LED and phototransistor pair to detect the presence or absence of a target object or liquid level. The IR light is transmitted, and the reflected signal is analyzed; a significant change in reflection indicates detection. This non-contact method prevents contamination and is ideal for applications requiring a sealed environment.

The module includes onboard signal conditioning that converts the optical reading into a stable digital output signal. Its wide 5-24V DC input range allows it to be powered directly from common industrial power rails or microcontroller boards, while built-in protection ensures reliable operation in electrically noisy environments.

Key Features

  • Wide-Range Power Input: Accepts 5-24V DC, compatible with both logic-level and industrial power supplies.
  • Non-Contact Sensing: Infrared detection eliminates the need for physical contact with the measured medium.
  • Wall-Penetration Capability: Effectively senses through transparent or translucent non-metallic materials.
  • Adjustable Sensitivity: Features a potentiometer for fine-tuning the detection threshold to suit different materials and container thicknesses.
  • Robust Output Driver: Provides a clean digital signal suitable for direct connection to control systems.
  • Compact Form Factor: Small footprint facilitates easy integration into space-constrained designs.
  • High-Value Build: Optimized for reliable performance in cost-sensitive automation and appliance applications.

Applications

  • Liquid level monitoring in transparent tanks and reservoirs for industrial process control.
  • Object presence detection in automated packaging and assembly lines.
  • Water level sensing in household appliances like coffee makers, humidifiers, and water dispensers.
  • Non-invasive bin/hopper full/empty detection in material handling systems.
  • Proximity sensing in consumer electronics and IoT devices requiring a sealed interface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the XKC-KD200-V sensor?

The sensor operates on a wide DC voltage range from 5V to 24V. This makes it compatible with common microcontroller power supplies (5V) as well as standard industrial control voltages (12V or 24V), providing significant flexibility for system design.

Can this sensor detect liquid through a container wall?

Yes, the XKC-KD200-V uses infrared light and is specifically designed for non-contact detection through transparent or translucent non-metallic walls, such as those made of plastic or glass. It cannot sense through metal containers.

How do I adjust the sensor's sensitivity?

The module includes a potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment. Turn the potentiometer screw to set the detection threshold. Place the target object or liquid at the desired detection point and adjust until the output LED and signal reliably indicate presence or absence.

What type of output signal does this sensor provide?

It provides a digital output signal, typically switching between a high and low logic level based on the detection state. This digital signal can be directly read by microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32), PLCs, or other digital input modules.

Is this sensor suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?

While durable, the XKC-KD200-V is a standard electronic module. For outdoor or harsh industrial environments (dust, moisture, temperature extremes), it should be housed in a suitable protective enclosure, as its IP rating is not specified for direct exposure.
