Description

The Pro-Range XKC-Y28A-NO sensor 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 eliminates contamination risk and sensor wear, making it ideal for monitoring corrosive or sterile fluids.

Featuring a robust IP67-rated enclosure, the sensor maintains reliable performance in damp or washdown environments. Its wide 5-24V DC input range provides compatibility with a variety of industrial control voltages and microcontroller logic levels (5V). The unit’s output is a simple digital signal (NO – Normally Open) that toggles based on the detected liquid level, enabling straightforward integration into alarm systems or automated processes.

Key Features

  • Non-Invasive Capacitive Detection: Safely monitors liquid levels through glass, plastic, or other non-conductive container walls without physical contact.
  • Broad Voltage Compatibility: Supports DC 5V to 24V operation, accommodating both microcontroller and industrial power supplies.
  • Environmental Durability: IP67 waterproof and corrosion-resistant construction ensures long-term reliability in demanding industrial settings.
  • Field-Adjustable Sensitivity: Allows fine-tuning for optimal performance with containers of varying wall thickness and material.
  • Fast Digital Response: Provides a quick-reacting, clean digital output signal for immediate control or alarm triggering.
  • Simplified Installation: Mounts externally to the container, eliminating the need for tank modification or immersion.

Applications

  • Chemical processing tank level monitoring for corrosive fluids.
  • Beverage dispensing system level control in food-grade containers.
  • Pharmaceutical bioreactor and storage vessel level sensing.
  • Residential and commercial water softener brine tank monitoring.
  • Hydroponic and agricultural nutrient solution level detection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of containers can this non-contact sensor work with?

The Pro-Range XKC-Y28A-NO sensor is designed specifically for non-metallic containers, such as those made from plastic, glass, or ceramic. It detects liquid levels by sensing changes in capacitance through the container wall. It will not function correctly on conductive metal tanks.

What is the operating voltage range and output type?

This sensor operates on a wide DC voltage range from 5V to 24V, making it compatible with Arduino (5V), Raspberry Pi (using external relays), and standard industrial PLC power supplies. It provides a simple digital output signal configured as Normally Open (NO), which switches based on the presence or absence of liquid.

How do I install and adjust the sensor?

Installation involves mounting the sensor firmly against the outside wall of the container at the desired detection height. Ensure the sensing area is in direct contact with a clean, dry section of the wall. The unit features an adjustable sensitivity potentiometer to fine-tune detection for different wall thicknesses and liquid types.

Is this sensor suitable for outdoor or wet environments?

Yes, with its IP67 waterproof rating, the sensor is protected against temporary immersion and dust ingress. This makes it suitable for use in damp industrial environments, washdown areas, or outdoor applications, provided the electrical connections are properly sealed.
