WATER LEVEL INDICATOR

Picture of water level indicator


Ultrasonic sensor:-
Ultrasonic sensors work by emitting sound waves at
a frequency too high for humans to hear. They then
wait for the sound to be reflected back, calculating
distance based on the time required. This is similar
to how radar measures the time it takes a radio
wave to return after hitting an object.
Arduino Nano:-
The Arduino Nano is a small, complete, and
breadboard-friendly board based on the
ATmega328P (Arduino Nano 3.x). It has
more or less the same functionality of the
Arduino Duemilanove, but in a different
package. It lacks only a DC power jack, and
works with a Mini-B USB cable instead of a
standard one.
Relay 12V:
Relays are most commonly used switching device in
electronics. ... The above diagram is for relay
triggering circuit. Since the relay has 12V trigger
voltage we have used a +12V DC supply to one end
of the coil and the other end to ground through a
switch. For switching we are using a transistor as a
switching device.
How to Use a Relay?

Relays are most commonly used switching device in


electronics. There are two important parameters of relay,
first is the Trigger Voltage, this is the voltage required to
turn on the relay that is to change the contact from
Common → NC to Common → NO. The other parameter
is your Load Voltage & Current, this is the amount of
voltage or current that the NC, NO or Common terminal of
the relay could withstand, in our case for DC it is maximum
of 30V and 10A. Make sure the load you are using falls into
this range.

The above diagram is for relay triggering circuit. Since the


relay has 12V trigger voltage we have used a +12V DC
supply to one end of the coil and the other end to ground
through a switch. For switching we are using a transistor
as a switching device. You can also notice a diode
connected across the coil of the relay, this diode is called
the Fly back Diode. The purpose of the diode is to protect
the switch from high voltage spike that can produced by
the relay coil. As shown one end of the load can be
connected to the Common pin and the other end is
either connected to NO or NC. If connected to NO the
load remains disconnected before trigger and if
connected to NC the load remains connected before
trigger.
Transistor BC547:
BC547 is an NPN Bipolar Junction Transistor.
Mostly it is used for the switching purpose as well as
for amplification purposes. Similar to the
other transistors BC547 is also used for the
amplification of current.
LCD 16X2:
16x2 LCD Display Module with HD44780
Controller. 16×2 LCD is named so because; it has 16
Columns and 2 Rows. ... Below is the Pinout and Pin
Description of 16x2 LCD Module:
Buzzer:
A buzzer or beeper is an audio signalling device,
which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or
piezoelectric. Typical uses of buzzers and beepers
include alarm devices, timers, and confirmation of
user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.

Resistor:
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical
component that implements electrical resistance as a
circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are
used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to
divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate
transmission lines, among other uses.

Water Level Indicator Using


Arduino
Wireless Water Level Indicator Using Ultrasonic
sensor & Arduino is an amazing and very useful
project. The objective of this project is to notify
the user the amount of water that is present in
the overhead water tank. This project can be
further enhanced to control the water level in
the tank by turning it ON, when the water level
is LOW, and turning it OFF when the water
level is HIGH. Thus, the Arduino water level
indicator helps in preventing wastage of water
in overhead tank. This project is wireless so, it
is easy to install and it can work up to 100
meters.
In this project two circuits are used: a
transmitter circuit and a receiver circuit. The
transmitter circuit makes use of an ultrasonic
sensor to measure the water level in terms of
distance. This data is sent to the receiver circuit
using RF communication. The water level is
shown in terms of percentage on a 16×2 LCD
module, which is connected to receiver circuit.

Working
In the project two circuits are used, First is the
transmitter and second is the receiver. An Ultrasonic
sensor is used in the transmitter circuit, which
measures the distance of water level from the upper
point of the bottle or Tank. The distance is measured
in centimeters and sent to receiver circuit using RF
communication.

Arduino Water Level Indicator

Ultrasonic sensor has two openings, one is Trigger


and the other is Echo. Trigger makes high frequency
sound waves. These sound waves are passed
through the tank from top to bottom. The sound
waves hit the water and are reflected back in the
form of Echo waves. The Echo opening receives the
Echo waves. The water level sensor Arduino
measures the time between Echo and Trigger. This
traveled distance is directly proportional to the time.
