XKC-Y25 5-12V Non-Contact Liquid Level Sensor with NPN Output
Operating on a DC 5-12V power supply, this variant provides NPN transistor (sinking) output for connection to a correctly matched controller or switching interface. The Y25 sensor family supports detection through suitable non-metallic walls up to 20mm thick and allows external adhesive or non-metallic bracket mounting.
The compact round sensor uses a non-mechanical detection method and is designed for contact-free sensing of cold, hot and boiling liquids through a suitable container wall. The 5-12V variant is suited to compatible controllers and low-power automation in a good electromagnetic environment. Keep high-power inductive and capacitive loads away from the sensor power bus.

Description
XKC-Y25 5-12V Non-Contact Liquid Level Sensor with NPN Output
The XKC-Y25 5-12V Non-Contact Liquid Level Sensor with NPN Output detects liquid presence through the walls of compatible non-metallic containers and pipelines without touching the liquid. Its external capacitive sensing design allows monitoring at a selected level on plastic, glass, acrylic and non-absorbent ceramic containers without opening the container.Operating on a DC 5-12V power supply, this variant provides NPN transistor (sinking) output for connection to a correctly matched controller or switching interface. The Y25 sensor family supports detection through suitable non-metallic walls up to 20mm thick and allows external adhesive or non-metallic bracket mounting.

Usage Notes
- Bond the sensing surface closely to the container wall; keep any gap below 0.5mm, preferably with no gap
- Do not attach directly to a metal wall; an appropriate non-metallic sensing window or external tube is required
- Detection of viscous liquids can be affected by residue adhering to container walls
- For outdoor installation, protect the sensor body from direct sunlight, direct rain runoff and excess heat
- Use in good EMC conditions; avoid high-power inductive or capacitive loads on the sensor supply bus
