XKC-Y26S-PNP 24V Non-Contact Water/Liquid Level Sensor – PNP Output
This model operates from a 24V DC power supply and provides a PNP output interface. Its non-contact sensing design helps reduce contamination, corrosion, leakage, and maintenance issues associated with conventional contact-type liquid level sensors.
The internal control circuit detects this capacitance variation and converts it into an electrical signal. When the detected change reaches the set threshold, the sensor determines that liquid is present and switches the PNP output.
The gap between the sensor sensing surface and the container wall should be less than 0.5mm. For optimum sensing sensitivity and reliable liquid detection, no gap is recommended between the sensor and container wall.
Always connect the sensor according to the dedicated XKC-Y26S-PNP 24V wiring diagram supplied with the product.

Description
XKC-Y26S-PNP 24V Non-Contact Water/Liquid Level Sensor – PNP Output
The XKC-Y26S-PNP 24V is a non-contact capacitive water and liquid level sensor designed to detect liquid through the outer wall of non-metallic containers and pipes. It is installed externally and detects the presence of liquid without requiring direct contact with the medium, making it suitable for sealed tanks, water containers, non-metallic pipes, liquid storage systems, industrial equipment, and automation applications.This model operates from a 24V DC power supply and provides a PNP output interface. Its non-contact sensing design helps reduce contamination, corrosion, leakage, and maintenance issues associated with conventional contact-type liquid level sensors.

Working Principle
The sensor operates using the capacitive sensing principle. When no liquid is present near the sensing surface, the sensor maintains its normal capacitance level. When the liquid reaches the sensing position, the electrical capacitance detected through the non-metallic container wall changes.The internal control circuit detects this capacitance variation and converts it into an electrical signal. When the detected change reaches the set threshold, the sensor determines that liquid is present and switches the PNP output.

Mechanical Drawing & Dimensions

Gap Requirement Between Sensor and Container Wall
The sensing surface should be attached tightly to the outer wall of the container. Use AB glue or another durable adhesive to securely attach the sensor to the container wall.The gap between the sensor sensing surface and the container wall should be less than 0.5mm. For optimum sensing sensitivity and reliable liquid detection, no gap is recommended between the sensor and container wall.
