Маанилүү ойлор:

• The sensor is designed for non-metallic containers (e.g., plastic, glass, ceramic).
• The induction pipe diameter should be between 3mm and 10mm for optimal performance.
• Ensure the sensor is mounted horizontally for accurate level detection.

4. Электр схемасы

Correct wiring is crucial for the proper functioning of the sensor. The XKC-Y26A-V sensor uses a 4-pin connector with defined wire functions:

• Brown Wire (VCC): Power input (connect to 5-24V DC).
• Yellow Wire (OUT): Signal output (high/low level).
• Blue Wire (GND): Negative power supply / Ground.
• Black Wire (MODE): Signal selection line.

Signal Output Mode Selection:

• Positive Output / Normally Open Output: Leave the black wire unconnected. The output will be high when liquid is detected and low when no liquid is detected.
• Inverse Output / Normally Closed Output: Short the black wire to the blue wire (GND). The output will be low when liquid is detected and high when no liquid is detected.

This diagram shows the wiring port definition (VCC, OUT, GND, MODE) and the terminal wiring sequence (Brown: Power Cord, Yellow: Signal Output Line, Blue: Negative Power Supply, Black: Signal Selection Line). It also illustrates the high and low level signal output wiring method for connecting to a controller or MCU.

This diagram provides specific wiring methods for connecting the NPN signal output to relays and indicator lights, showing configurations for normally closed/normally open output selection. It also notes to connect relays and other inductive loads to add current-continuing diodes for protection.

Always ensure power is disconnected before making any wiring changes to prevent damage to the sensor or connected equipment.

5. Иштөө принциптери

The XKC-Y26A-V sensor operates on the principle of capacitive sensing. It detects the presence or absence of liquid by measuring changes in capacitance when liquid comes into proximity with the sensor's detection area. Since water and other liquids have a different dielectric constant than air, the sensor can differentiate between the two states (liquid present or absent) through the non-metallic container wall.

When liquid reaches the level of the sensor, the capacitance changes, triggering the sensor's output. This non-contact method allows for detection without direct contact with the liquid, making it suitable for applications where hygiene or chemical compatibility is a concern.

The sensor provides a high or low level output signal, which can be directly interfaced with microcontrollers (MCUs), PLCs, or other control circuits to automate liquid level monitoring and control tasks.
