Automatic water-level controller circuit -Iot Fiers
Here is a simple, automatic water-level controller for overhead tanks that switches on/off the pump motor when water in the tank goes below/above the minimum/maximum level. The water level is sensed by two floats to operate the switches for controlling the pump motor. Automatic water-level controller circuit Each sensor's float is suspended from above using an aluminum rod. This arrangement is encased in a PVC pipe and fixed vertically on the inside wall of the water tank. Such sensors are more reliable than induction-type sensors. Sensor 1 senses the minimum water level, while sensor 2 senses the maximum water level (see the figure Leaf switches S1 and S2 (used in tape recorders) are fixed at the top of the sensor units such that when the floats are lifted, the attached 5 mm dia. (approx.) aluminum rods push the moving contacts (P1 and P2) of leaf switches S1 and S2 from normally closed (N/C) position to normally open (N/O) position. Similarly, when the water level go
