Description

The Pro-Range XKC-Y26A-V utilizes a capacitive sensing principle to detect the presence of liquid inside a container without requiring physical contact with the fluid itself. This technology measures changes in capacitance caused by the dielectric properties of the liquid, enabling detection through the container wall. The sensor’s integrated signal conditioning provides a stable digital or analog output signal suitable for direct connection to microcontrollers, PLCs, or relay modules.

Engineered for industrial durability, the sensor is housed in a robust casing designed to withstand challenging environmental conditions, including exposure to moisture and chemical vapors. Its wide 5-24V DC operating range ensures compatibility with a vast array of power supplies and control systems, from 5V logic circuits to standard 24V industrial panels, offering significant installation flexibility.

Key Features

  • Advanced non-contact capacitive sensing technology for safe, contamination-free level detection.
  • Broad DC 5-24V operating voltage ensures seamless integration with diverse power sources, from microcontroller boards to industrial PLCs.
  • User-adjustable sensitivity potentiometer allows fine-tuning for optimal performance with different container materials and wall thicknesses.
  • High-value build with a durable housing designed for reliable operation in demanding industrial and commercial settings.
  • Simple two-wire connection (power and signal output) facilitates quick and straightforward installation.
  • Ideal for monitoring corrosive, hazardous, or sterile liquids such as acids, solvents, oils, and pharmaceuticals.

Applications

  • Level monitoring of acids, solvents, and chemicals in industrial storage tanks and process vessels.
  • Non-invasive liquid detection in pharmaceutical or food & beverage production lines to maintain sterility.
  • Reservoir and sump pump control in water treatment, HVAC, and agricultural irrigation systems.
  • Leak detection and overflow prevention in equipment coolant systems or hydraulic reservoirs.
  • Liquid presence verification in dispensing machines, vending equipment, and laboratory analyzers.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The sensor operates from a wide DC voltage range of 5V to 24V. This makes it compatible with common microcontroller power supplies (5V), automotive systems (12V), and standard industrial control panels (24V), offering significant flexibility for integration.

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

The sensor uses capacitive sensing technology. It detects changes in an electromagnetic field caused by the presence of a liquid with a different dielectric constant. It can sense through non-metallic container walls such as plastic, glass, or ceramic, but cannot detect through conductive materials like metal.

Is the sensor suitable for detecting corrosive liquids like acids?

Yes, its non-contact operation is a key advantage for corrosive, hazardous, or sterile liquids. Since the sensing element does not physically touch the fluid, there is no risk of sensor corrosion or contamination of the liquid, making it ideal for chemical tanks and pharmaceutical applications.

How do I adjust the sensor's sensitivity?

The sensor typically features an onboard potentiometer (adjustment screw). By turning this screw with a small tool, you can fine-tune the detection threshold to account for different container wall thicknesses and material types, ensuring a reliable on/off signal.

What is the output signal from this sensor?

The XKC-Y26A-V provides a simple digital output signal. When liquid is detected, the output pin switches state (e.g., goes from HIGH to LOW, or vice-versa). This digital signal can be read directly by a microcontroller's digital input pin or used to trigger a relay for pump control.
