Description

The Pro-Range XKC-Y26A-NPN liquid level sensor utilizes advanced signal processing technology to detect liquid presence through container walls, eliminating the need for direct contact with the medium. This principle allows for safe monitoring of hazardous, high-pressure, or sterile liquids without risk of contamination or leakage.

Designed for industrial environments, the sensor provides a stable NPN output signal corresponding to high or low liquid level states. Its construction and electronics are engineered for reliable operation across a wide temperature range and in the presence of electromagnetic interference, making it a robust solution for continuous process monitoring.

Key Features

  • Wall-Penetrating Detection: Advanced chip-based signal processing enables reliable sensing through various non-metallic wall thicknesses.
  • Corrosion & Debris Immunity: Sensing is unaffected by aggressive media, suspended solids, or fluid viscosity, ensuring long-term reliability.
  • Stable Thermal Performance: Maintains accurate detection in cold, hot, and even boiling liquids without calibration drift.
  • Configurable Output Logic: Provides NPN open-collector output for easy interface with PLCs, microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi), and relay modules.
  • Intelligent Calibration: Features sensitivity adjustment, level reference setting, and memory function for simplified setup and multi-point control.
  • Broad Material Compatibility: Effective on plastic, glass, ceramic, and other dielectric container materials.
  • High Noise Immunity: Circuit design includes protection against electromagnetic interference for stable operation in electrically noisy environments.
  • High-Value Build: Optimized for demanding applications, offering durable construction and reliable performance without direct fluid contact.

Applications

  • Chemical Process Tanks: Monitoring acid, alkali, and solvent levels in sealed polypropylene or FRP vessels.
  • Pharmaceutical & Bioreactor Vessels: Non-invasive level detection in sterile glass or plastic bioreactors.
  • Water Treatment Systems: Level control in PVC filtration tanks and dosing systems for corrosive chemicals.
  • Food & Beverage Processing: Hygienic level sensing in CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems and ingredient storage tanks.
  • Hazardous Material Containment: Safe monitoring of toxic or flammable liquids in secondary containment vessels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the XKC-Y26A-NPN sensor?

The sensor operates on a DC supply voltage from 5V to 12V. It is compatible with common industrial control voltages and can be powered directly from a PLC auxiliary output or a regulated DC power supply within this range.

How does the non-contact detection work, and what materials can it sense through?

The sensor uses capacitive or field-based sensing technology to detect the dielectric change caused by the presence of liquid. It can sense through non-metallic, dielectric container walls such as plastic (PP, PVC), glass, and ceramics. It cannot detect through metal walls.

What type of output signal does this model provide, and how do I interface it?

This model provides an NPN open-collector digital output. The output switch sinks current to ground when the detected condition (high or low level) is met. It can be connected directly to a PLC digital input, a microcontroller pin (with a pull-up resistor), or to drive a relay module for control applications.

Can this sensor detect the level of corrosive or conductive liquids?

Yes. Since detection is through the container wall, the sensor never contacts the liquid. This makes it ideal for monitoring aggressive media like strong acids, alkalis, conductive fluids, or liquids containing debris, without risk of sensor corrosion or fouling.

How is the sensor installed and calibrated?

Installation involves securing the sensor to the outside of the container at the desired detection point using the provided mounting holes or adhesive. Calibration is performed via the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer; you adjust it until the output LED indicates reliable detection, and the setting is stored in the sensor's memory.
