-:Introduction:-

Nowadays everybody has overhead tank at their homes, but the one
who has a water tank above knows the kind of problems that they face.
Water tank overflow is a common problem which leads to the wastage of
water. Being electronics enthusiastic made a simple and handy circuit
which will detect the water level and will raise and alarm upon getting the
water tank full or a preset level.

This simple transistor based water level indicator circuit is very useful to
indicate the water levels in a tank. Whenever tank gets filled, we get
alerts on particular levels. Here we had created levels by alarm & we
have added LEDs to indicate the level of water and one buzzer to
indicate full level. When tanks gets filled completely we get beep sound
sound from buzzer.

So now we do not have to worry about overflow and water out anymore.

Abstract
Water is basic need of every one’s life. Its is important to Save water and
use it according to our need .The aim of our project is to make such logic
combination to save water without holding any responsibility of it.

Advantages
 Easy to operate & Fast response.
 Smaller is size.
 Efficient design eliminates man’s work.
 Low power consumption and reduces wastage.

Disadvantages
 Required a dedicated controller ( Human ).

 Electronics are usually built separately.

  There is a need of automatic system to increase the accuracy.

Features
 Easy installation.
 Low maintenance.
 Compact elegant design.
 Consume very little energy, ideal for continuous operation.
 Show clear indication of water levels in the overhead tank.

Components used

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION – BC547

BC547 is an NPN Bi-polar junction
transistor (BJT)

It is a semiconductor device used to

amplify and switch electronic signals
and electrical power. The NPN
transistor signals and electrical power.
The NPN transistor can be used in two
different modes: forward biased made
and the reverse biased mode.

BC547 is mainly used for amplification

and switching purpose. It has a maximum current gain of 800. Its
equivalent transistors are BC548 and BC549. The transistor terminals
require a fixed DC voltage to operate in the desired region of its
characteristic curves i.e. Biasing.

For amplification applications, the transistor is biased such that it is

partly on for all input conditions. The input signal at base is amplified and
taken at the emitter. BC547 is used in common emitter configuration for
amplifiers. The voltage divider is the commonly used biasing mode. For
switching applications, transistor is biased so that it remains fully on if
there is a signal at its base. In the absence of base signal, it gets
completely off.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
Working of automatic water tank level controller
As shown in figure, in the beginning when without water on a bucket
transistors will not works, because the base of the transistors is not
triggered from the common point.

There are Four parts in the this project :

i) The Sensor Part : It is generally a fixed support inside the tank

having some nuts and bolt with wires coming out.
ii) The Circuit Part : It comprises the brain of the module; where in
all the various imputs from the sensors are fed. It is the unit
form where you will get all the information of how much water is
in the tank.
iii) The Power Supply : It is the part where in you will be converting
the A/C voltage to a regulated voltage of 5V to the Circuit.
iv) The Buzzer Part: It is responsible for bringing up the sound
when the water level fills up in the tank. It will also be having a
speaker or a buzzer to alert.
The connections and arrangements are made as shown in the figure
above. The +9V is supplied to water using a metal contact. In the circuit
all the transistors are working as a switch. When the water touches the
metal contact in which base of each transistor is connected, small
current flows and turns on the transistor. When a transistor turns on,
LED connected to it glows. Thus LEDs will be turned on depending up
on the level of water.

And finally when it reaches to its top most level, there will be a visual
display as well as a sound from the unit indicating that the water has
filled in the tank and one can be alerted that the tank has been filled up
and the water pump has to be switched off saving the electricity bill as
well as over flow of water from the tank.

Conclusion
This is a simple model water level indicator which can be made at your
home. This project is the solution to help the user to indicate water level
in reservoir or into the water tank that indicated different levels in an over
head tank.

A connection runs under to the underground tank to check the

availability of water in the tank before operation the pump and the pump
operates only automatic Water level Controller ca be used in Hotels,
Factories, Homes Apartment, Commercial Complexes, Drainage, etc,.

Finally, the project has been successfully implemented & tested.

I am proud to express my delight as the project I embarked upon is

successfully finished in such a short span. The project gave us more
confidence that we will be able to put in practice, whatever the
theoretical knowledge we gained during the course of study till now. It
really persuades us to do more and more perhaps in better way in future.

We take help from out teachers and use Wikipedia for find configuration
about IC’s and also use techniques which was in our book “Digital Logic
Fundamental”.
