Description

The Pro-Range XKC-Y28-NC operates on a capacitive sensing principle, detecting changes in dielectric constant caused by the presence of liquid inside a non-metallic container. This non-invasive method prevents sensor fouling and contamination, making it ideal for monitoring corrosive, sterile, or high-purity liquids.

The sensor features a robust IP67-sealed housing for protection against dust and temporary immersion, ensuring reliable performance in industrial washdown or outdoor environments. Its 5V DC power requirement simplifies integration with standard digital control systems, while the adjustable sensitivity potentiometer allows for fine-tuning to match specific container materials and wall thicknesses.

Key Features

  • Non-Invasive Capacitive Detection: Measures liquid level through glass, plastic, or other dielectric container walls without physical contact.
  • 5V DC Logic-Compatible Power: Operates from a single 5V supply, enabling direct interface with microcontrollers and digital I/O modules.
  • IP67 Environmental Sealing: Waterproof and dustproof construction for reliable operation in demanding industrial and outdoor settings.
  • Field-Adjustable Sensitivity: Integrated potentiometer allows calibration for optimal performance with various container materials and liquid types.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Build: Housing materials selected for compatibility with aggressive chemical atmospheres and frequent cleaning.
  • Fast Response & High Stability: Provides immediate digital output signal upon level change with minimal drift over time.

Applications

  • Chemical processing tank level monitoring in non-metallic vessels.
  • Food & beverage industry liquid level detection in plastic totes or glass carboys.
  • Pharmaceutical and biotech process monitoring for sterile or sensitive fluids.
  • Water treatment and hydroponics reservoir level control.
  • Laboratory equipment and automated liquid handling systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of containers can this sensor work with?

The XKC-Y28-NC is designed for non-metallic containers such as glass, plastic, or ceramic. It detects liquid levels by sensing changes in capacitance through the dielectric container wall. It will not function correctly with conductive metal containers.

What is the operating voltage and output signal?

This sensor operates on a 5V DC power supply. It provides a simple digital output signal (typically a logic high or low) that indicates the presence or absence of liquid at the detection point, making it easy to interface with microcontrollers like Arduino or industrial PLC digital inputs.

How do I adjust the sensor's sensitivity?

The sensor includes an integrated sensitivity adjustment potentiometer. Turn the potentiometer screw to calibrate the detection threshold for your specific application, compensating for different container wall thicknesses and liquid dielectric properties to ensure reliable triggering.

Is this sensor suitable for outdoor or wet environments?

Yes, with its IP67 waterproof rating, the sensor is protected against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for outdoor installations, washdown areas in food processing, and other harsh industrial environments.
