The XKC-Y26A is an advanced non-contact liquid level sensor specifically designed for small diameter non-metallic pipes with an outer diameter of 4-10mm. This innovative sensor utilizes cutting-edge technology to detect the presence of liquid inside pipes or containers from the outside, eliminating the need for direct contact with the liquid. This unique design makes it ideal for applications where hygiene, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation are critical requirements.
Manufactured with high-quality PC V0 fireproof material and featuring an IP67 waterproof rating, the XKC-Y26A delivers exceptional performance even in harsh industrial environments. With a wide operating temperature range of -20 to 105℃ and humidity tolerance from 5% to 100%, this sensor provides reliable operation across diverse application scenarios. The sensor is available in three output signal variants: high/low level, NPN, and PNP, ensuring compatibility with most industrial control systems.
Key Features and Benefits
The XKC-Y26A's non-contact design offers significant advantages over traditional contact-based sensors. Since it does not come into direct contact with the liquid, it is completely immune to corrosion from strong acids, alkalis, and other aggressive chemicals. This eliminates the risk of sensor degradation and extends the product's service life dramatically. Additionally, the non-contact design means the sensor is not affected by scale, sediment, or other debris that can accumulate inside pipes over time, ensuring consistent and accurate readings throughout its operational life.
Easy Clip-On Installation
Featuring a convenient clip-on design, the XKC-Y26A can be quickly and easily installed on existing pipes without the need for any modifications, drilling, or welding. This not only reduces installation time and labor costs but also allows for easy removal and repositioning as needed. The sensor can be installed in minutes, minimizing downtime for your operations and making it an ideal solution for retrofitting existing systems.
Multiple Output Signal Options
To accommodate different control system requirements, the XKC-Y26A is available in three output configurations:
XKC-Y26A-V: High and low level output (DC 5-24V)
XKC-Y26A-PNP: Switching value PNP output (DC 5-12V or DC 24V)
XKC-Y26A-NPN: Switching value NPN output (DC 5-12V or DC 24V)
All models feature a fast response time of 500ms and a sensing accuracy of ±1.5mm, ensuring precise and timely liquid level detection. The output current of ≤100mA provides sufficient drive capability for most industrial applications.
Robust and Durable Design
Constructed from PC V0 fireproof material, the XKC-Y26A offers excellent mechanical strength and flame resistance. The IP67 waterproof rating ensures the sensor can withstand exposure to water, dust, and other environmental contaminants, making it suitable for use in wet and dusty industrial environments. The sensor has been rigorously tested to meet international standards and holds CE and ROHS-2.0 certifications, guaranteeing its quality and safety.
