Operating at 24V with PNP output, it switches when liquid is present, making it ideal for industrial tanks, aquariums, and water purification systems. No direct liquid contact eliminates corrosion and contamination risks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetection Method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacitive, non-contact\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupply Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12-24V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePNP Normally Open\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensing Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 6mm non-metal wall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResponse Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e≤ 500ms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 1 meter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-water-tank-level-monitor-kit-v2\"\u003eAutomatic water tank level controller with pump shut-off\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-industrial-gas-leak-detector-kit\"\u003eNon-contact liquid leak detector for industrial spill prevention\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/aquarium-water-quality-monitor-kit-with-arduino-tds-and-temp\"\u003eSmart aquarium monitor with low-water alert\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical drum level indicator without sensor corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 24V industrial systems with PNP input, this sensor integrates easily with PLCs, relay modules, and microcontrollers. For Arduino or Raspberry Pi, use a voltage divider or optocoupler to convert the 24V output to logic-level signals. Common pairings include automation controllers, Sump pump switches, and SCADA systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnect brown wire to +24V, blue to GND, and black to your control input. The PNP output sources current when liquid is detected; ensure your input circuit can sink at least 10mA safely. No pull-up resistor is needed as the output is active-high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.
