BASIC ELECTRONICS PROJECT 7- WATER LEVEL INDICATOR


Hi..friends…welcome back..!! I am again here with another basic electronics project ,this time we are going to make a simple water tank overflow indicator, this is a simple project based on 555 timer IC. This project can be used as an alarm to warn us in case of overflow. Let us see how things are going on…..!!


COMPONENTS REQUIRED

NE555 IC
RESISTORS ( 1X 100K, 1X1K)
CAPACITOR (2.2uf)
1 BUZZER
POWER SUPPLY (5V)

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

In this circuit 555 IC is used in astable mode . here is the complete circuit diagram for the setup-

Implement this circuit on a general purpose PCB then attach wire ends to the wall of tank , at a desired level , whenever water level overflows this point circuit gets completed and buzzer is activated.

I hope you guys find this article helpful , in case of any query,doubt or critical view just leave a comment.

THNX...:)

  1. if we transmit an output signal for ex. here in this case if we place a buzzer over a distance of 20meters apart from the measuring circuit then does the circuit will be still able to indicate the overflow ?
