Description

The Pro-Range XKC-Y29A-NPN operates on a capacitive sensing principle, detecting changes in dielectric constant caused by the presence of liquid. This allows it to sense levels through the walls of plastic, glass, or ceramic containers, eliminating contamination risks and making it ideal for corrosive or sterile fluids.

Housed in a robust, IP67-rated enclosure, the sensor is protected against dust ingress and temporary immersion, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. Its wide 12-24V DC input range provides compatibility with standard industrial power supplies and control systems.

Key Features

  • Non-contact capacitive detection for hygienic and maintenance-free operation
  • Wide operating voltage (DC 12-24V) for flexible system integration
  • NPN open-collector output for direct interface with PLCs and digital inputs
  • IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof construction
  • Corrosion-resistant materials suitable for harsh chemical environments
  • User-adjustable sensitivity potentiometer for fine-tuning
  • Fast response time for real-time level monitoring
  • Designed for use with non-metallic container materials (plastic, glass)

Applications

  • Level monitoring in chemical processing tanks with corrosive fluids
  • Liquid detection in food & beverage production within plastic totes or vessels
  • Pharmaceutical batch processing in sterile, non-metallic containers
  • Water level control in residential or commercial water softener tanks
  • Coolant level monitoring in industrial machinery plastic reservoirs

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of output does the XKC-Y29A-NPN sensor provide?

The XKC-Y29A-NPN provides an NPN open-collector digital output. This output sinks current to ground when the liquid is detected, making it compatible with the digital input modules of most PLCs, microcontrollers like Arduino (using a pull-up resistor), and other industrial control systems.

Can this sensor detect liquid through metal containers?

No, this sensor is specifically designed for non-contact detection through non-metallic container walls such as plastic, glass, or ceramic. Metal containers shield the capacitive field, preventing reliable detection. It is ideal for plastic tanks, bottles, and vessels.

How do I adjust the sensor's sensitivity?

The sensor features an integrated sensitivity adjustment potentiometer. To calibrate it, position the sensor on the outside of the container at the desired detection level. Adjust the potentiometer until the output LED indicates a reliable state change (on/off) corresponding to the presence or absence of liquid.

What is the meaning of the IP67 rating?

The IP67 rating signifies that the sensor enclosure is completely protected against dust ingress (IP6X) and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes (IPX7). This makes it suitable for washdown environments, outdoor use, and applications where condensation or splashing occurs.
