The XKC-Y28 non-contact liquid level sensor is an advanced industrial-grade solution designed to detect the presence of liquids through non-metallic pipes and flat containers without direct contact. This innovative sensor eliminates the risk of contamination, corrosion, and leakage associated with traditional contact-based level sensors, making it ideal for demanding commercial and industrial applications.
Unlike conventional sensors that require immersion in liquids, the XKC-Y28 mounts externally on pipes or containers, allowing for quick and easy installation without system downtime. Its advanced sensing technology ensures reliable performance even when exposed to strong acids, alkalis, corrosive liquids, scale, or other debris that would compromise the accuracy of contact sensors.
Key Features & Benefits
The XKC-Y28 contactless water level sensor utilizes advanced capacitive sensing technology to detect liquid levels through non-metallic materials. This non-invasive approach offers several significant advantages:
No contamination of sensitive liquids
No risk of sensor corrosion or degradation
No need to drill holes in pipes or containers
Easy installation and maintenance without system shutdown
Versatile Compatibility
This sensor is engineered to work with a wide range of non-metallic pipes and flat containers:
Compatible with pipes with outer diameter ≥11mm
Bendable induction sheet for easy fixing on various pipe sizes
Suitable for both cylindrical pipes and flat containers
Adjustable sensitivity based on pipe diameter and thickness
Built-in 2A Relay & Multiple Output Options
The XKC-Y28 features a built-in 2A relay that can directly drive loads, eliminating the need for additional control modules and reducing system complexity and cost. Three output modes are available to meet different application requirements:
Model: XKC-Y28-NO (DC 5V), (DC 12V), (DC 24V) — Normally Open Output
Model: XKC-Y28-NC (DC 5V), (DC 12V), (DC 24V) — Normally Closed Output
Model: XKC-Y28-RS485 (DC 24V) (DC 5V-12V) — RS485 Communication Output
RS485 communication output for integration with control systems
Robust & Durable Design
Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, the XKC-Y28 offers:
Wide operating temperature range: -20 to 105℃
IP67 waterproof rating for use in wet and humid conditions
PC-V0 fireproof material construction for enhanced safety
CE and ROHS 2.0 certifications ensuring compliance with international standards
Applications
The XKC-Y28 non-contact liquid level sensor is widely used across various commercial and industrial sectors:
