Download PDF Datasheets for Free. datasheet4u.com Lea Corrosion in water level sensor probes take place due to DC supply which is normally used for triggering the probes through water. This is aggravated by the process of minor electrolysis (https://www.homemade-circuits.com/how-to-generate- pure-oxygen-and/) across the probe terminals which in the long term usage results in formation of layers of chemicals an minerals, gradually inhibiting efficient working of the probes and affecting the water sensing ability of the circuit. To remedy this an AC supply is recommended so that the process of electrolysis (https://homemade-circuits.com/2012/09/how-to-generate-pure-oxygen-and.html) is unable to develop across the probes due to the constant flipping of the supply polarity across the probes through the alternating nature of the supply. In the design presented above, the AC supply is derived from a 12V transformer, via a couple of high value resistors (https://www-homemade-circuits.com/types-of- resistors/) for dropping the current across the probes. hitpsiwww-homemade-clrults-convant-corrosion-probes-or-waterlovell 2022raro20 [Ant-Corrsion Probes for Water Level Controle | Homemade Circult Projects The supply is carried forward to the inputs of an "OR" gate which specifically deals with this AC and produces the relevant output depending on whether water is present across the probes or not. In the absence of water the applied AC generates alternately changing potentials across the two input pins of the OR gate. As per the truth table of the OR gate (https://www.homemade-circuits.com/logic-gates-work/), a 0 and 1 or | and 0 on its inputs correspondingly creates an output of logic 1. This implies that while the alternate switching is applied over the two inputs of the OR gate, causes its output to consistently be at a logic 1. Now if water happens to bridge the probe points, it instantly causes a relative short across the points causing the AC to disappear at the inputs of the OR gate. In this situation both the inputs of the OR gate is held at logic 0, which causes its output to revert from logic I to a logic 0. The above action switches ON the PNP transistor (https://www.homemade- circuits.com/how-pnp-transistors-work/) enabling the output to trigger the intended load such as a relay or an LED.

I'l try to guide you through the process once I know it. You can send it to email homemadecircuits @ gmail.com, but we will discuss the remedy only through comments under this article Reply Imran Baig says Dear Swagatam, ‘Thank you for the reply, I am trying to build the electrolysis-free automatic water-motor ON\OFF switch having 4 LED water levels indicators for my home water tank. For the first step i am trying to glow the LED with this circuit and then in next step i want to ON\OFF the water motor based on minimum and maximum water level. Best Regards, Imran Baig Reply Swagatam (https://www-homemade-circuits.com) says OK, in that case you can test the first circuit as suggested by me in the previous comment. Make sure th pins hitpsiwww-homemade-clrults-convant-corrosion-probes-or-waterlovell 9222raro20 [Ant-Corrsion Probes for Water Level Controle | Homemade Circult Projects of the IC get the 12V, and also the emitter of PNP. As soon as water touches the probe points, the gate input pins ‘must become OV, this will cause the output of the gate to become OV too, and the PNP will conduct along with the LED. ‘The DC 12V to the IC can be acquired from a bridge rectifier and filter capacitor from the same transformer. The transformer can be a SOOMA rated ‘After immersing the probes under water check the voltage across the 10M resistors, it must show OV here. Imran Baig says Ok, i will try to build the first circuit again and will let you know about the results. Please tell me where to connect the collector of PNP transistor which is marked as OU ‘Swagatam (https:/www-homemade-circuits.com) says ‘You may keep it open initially, and watch only the LED response. Once the LED response is confirmed you can connect the collector to any desired load such as a relay. Imran Baig says Dear Swagatam, Thave created the first circuit on breadboard as suggested, specified below are the detailed observations and the steps I performed. — The initial voltage of my transformer are around 13.5 volt AC. — When I converted AC to DC using bridge rectifier and a filter capacitor then DC voltage becomes around 17.5 volts, so I used Regulator IC 7812 to get exact 12 volt DC. — Ihave assembled the circuit on breadboard as suggested. I didn’t have 10M resistors so I have used 2.2M resistors to ground the input of OR-Gate. = T have connected IC 4071 pin-7 to ground and pin-14 to +12 volt, I have also connected emitter of PNP BC-557 transistor to +12 volt. — With open probes the voltages on input of OR-Gate are around 3.5 volt AC. — With short probes the voltages on input of OR-Gate are around 0 volt AC. hitpsiwww-homemade-clrults-convant-corrosion-probes-or-waterlovell 101222raro20 [Ant-Corrsion Probes for Water Level Controle | Homemade Circult Projects — With open probes the voltages on output of OR-Gate are around 2.5 volt DC. ~ With short probes the voltages on output of OR-Gate are around 0 volt DC. But unfortunately the LED didn’t glow neither with open nor with short probes. 1 think the problem is around LED and transistor. I have also connected LWD in parallel to diode 4048, and it works as desired, please correct me what wrong i am doing Thanks in advance, Imran Baig ‘Swagatam (https:/www-homemade-circuits.com) says Dear Imran, Thank you for the detailed explanation. Please modify the output section in the following manner, and let me know how it works https://www.homemade-circuits,com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/corrosion-free-water-level.ipg (https:/www.homemade-circuits.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/ 1 O/corrosion-free-water-level.jpe) ‘Swagatam (https:/www-homemade-circuits.com/) says Just wanted to know that did you check the results by actually putting water across the probes?? ‘Swagatam (https://www.homemade-cireuits.comv) says Ifyou connect the LED directly across output of the gate and the ground then the LED will illuminate when ‘water is not present, but we want the opposite results from the LED, therefore we'll have to add the specified NPN BIT stages. Imran Baig says Dear Swagatam, hitpsiwww-homemade-clrults-convant-corrosion-probes-or-waterlovell 1222raro20 [Ant-Corrsion Probes for Water Level Controle | Homemade Circult Projects Thank you very much for reading my response and replying me, I will definitely modify the output section and will, let you know about the result. Answers of your questions are. — Yes I have checked the result in both ways, by directly short-circuiting the probs and by putting the probs in a glass the water. — Yes you are right, when i connect the LED directly across output of the gate and the ground, i get the result but in opposite order, I will experiment the suggested NPN BJT stages for it, Thave couple of question; as you suggested that for each indicator i will have to put two probs parallely into the ‘water on one inch distance. can i combine one prob of all indicators to get one common brob, because i have less wires to put into the water tank. Secondly will this circuit work for long distance wires; like 40 feet or so? as i have a water pump at ground floor and the water tank at third floor roof top, and i want to place entire circuit on ground floor near water pump. Thank you for your help. Imran Baig ‘Swagatam (https:/www-homemade-circuits.com) says No problem dear Imran, Let’s wait for the results Here are the answers for your other questions: ‘Two wires for the probes will give foolproof results since the current has to pass through a very short distance across the probes, whereas using a single common wire for one of the probes will mean the current has to pass through a big bulk of water affecting the reliability of the results. You can use twin joined wire cords for each pair of probes to simplify the wiring, Yes you can use long wires without issues, just add a 0.22uF capacitor across each gate input and ground, to eliminate interference pickup. Imran Baig says Dear Swagatam, hitpsiwww-homemade-clrults-convant-corrosion-probes-or-waterlovell 121022raro20 [Ant-Corrsion Probes for Water Level Controle | Homemade Circult Projects Lite cd the modified circuit last night, but still no luck. The LED connected with the collector of second BCS47 transistor keeps glowing in either case, whether I open the probes or short the probs. Meanwhile I have also connected LED with ground and output of OR gate and it works as earlier. Best Regards, Imran Baig ‘Swagatam (https://www.homemade-cireuits.com/) says Dear Imran, If the LED alone responds to the water contact then the transistor has to also respond. Please shift the LED in between the Gate and the transistor base, and also reduce the base resistance to 1K and check again. This will prove the actual situation of the transistor conduction. Imran Baig says Sure i will do it, and will let you know about the results. ‘Swagatam (https://www-homemade-circuits.com) says OK great! Imran Baig says Dear Swagatam, I have modified the circuit as suggested, and have connected L D + IK resistor between output of OR gate and base of first 547 transistor, the LED gets ON with open probes and gets OFF with short probes, T also noticed the result of second LED which is connected between +12v and collector of second $47 transistor having 1K of resistor in series. This LED still behaves the same; means it remains ON in both conditions. Apatt of this I was thinking about using NOR gate instead of OR gate, and have also experimented it last night. I have used ic 4001 for it, with the same input of gates, and the only LED connected between output of NOR gate hitpsiwww-homemade-clrults-convant-corrosion-probes-or-waterlovell2raro20 [Ant-Corrsion Probes for Water Level Controle | Homemade Circult Projects and ground, unfortunately it also didn’t worked for me, the LED remains ON in both of conditions, Best Regards, Imran Baig ‘Swagatam (https://www.homemade-circuits.com) says Dear Imran, it seems there’s something wrong with the second transistor. If the LED is glowing it means the first NPN is conducting, in that case it is grounding the base voltage of the second transistor, so the LED at the collector of the ‘ond transistor must shut off. Please check the basc/emitter voltage of the s ond transistor, if it becomes zero and still its collector LED glows then the transistor may be faulty or wrongly connected. Imran Baig says Thave also tried to build the first circuit as well but again no luck, definitely i am doing some mistake. I have some questions regarding first circuit as listed below. — Can i use “500 milli-ampare” transformer instead of “1A”? —Can i connect bridge rectifier and capacitor directly with this transformer to get DC 12v to operate other motor controller circuit? — What does +12V indicator means in this circuit, do i need to give +12V input here, and -12V input to the ground specified in this circuit? — What does “OUT” indicator means in this circuit? — As per my understanding, “Probe Outlet” are the probes needs to be dipped in the water, if i make 4 indicators then will i nced to dip two probes for each indicator means total of 8 probes, or will there be any common probe which will make total of 5 probes? Best Regards, Imran Baig Reply Swagatam (https://www-homemade. circuits.com/) says hitpsiwww-homemade-clrults-convant-corrosion-probes-or-waterlovell 141222raro20 [Ant-Corrsion Probes for Water Level Controle | Homemade Circult Projects Please let me know what result are you trying to check in the first circuit, is it the corrosion effect or the LED illumination? 1 guess itis the LED illumination, As per my understanding which I have explained in the article, when water bridges the “probe outlet” points it produces low r sistance for both the half cycles of the AC from the transformer. ‘This means the GATE input is inhibited from a positive supply, and both the inputs get OV, when the both the inputs are zero volt the output of the gate also tums zero allowing the transistor to be biased through the LED. Yes the probe outlets meed to be placed at the different positions of the water and must be at a I inch distance. Remember the IC needs a 12V DC to operate across its Vee and Vss pins, this 12V must also be connect to the transistor emitter. Reply Samuel says Hello! I'm from brazil, and will try to make the first circuit 1 — Works with 9v transformer? 2-T'll need a transformer and a de power supply to do, right? 3 if [test only one level, with 4071 I need to do something more? Reply Swagatam (https://www homemade-circuits.com/) says Yes that’s correct! You can use a single gate from the IC, and ground all the inputs of the remaining gates in the IC, the outputs of these gates can be left open. Also, replace the 2M2 resistor connected with the transformer 12V wires with 100K for better response!

Or more simply, just introduce one wire directly from the transformer secondary into the water. This will create an low voltage AC in the water prevent the corrosion effect Reply Avisays Hi This water level controller circuit is very simple and maintenance free.

Is it possible, could you please help me out. Reply Swag (https://www.homemade-circuits.com/) says Thank you Avi, yes you can achieve it by using the concept explained in the following article: https://www.homemade-circuits.com/2015/09/borewell-motor-pump-starter-controller html (https:/;www.homemade- circuits. com/2015/09/borewell-motor-pump-starter-controller:html) ICI or IC2 both are monostables circuits which produce a high output for sometime depending on the values of the C and R, in response to input triggers. You can use any one of these circuits, and connect the 0.22uF with water controller outputs through separate diodes (14148). The anodes of both the diodes will join with the 0.22uF end, while the cathodes will separately join with the upper and the lower water level wuiputs, The relay contacts can be joined with an alarm, Reply hitpsiwww-homemade-clrults-convant-corrosion-probes-or-waterlovell 161222raro20 [Ant-Corrsion Probes for Water Level Controle | Homemade Circult Projects Avi says Hi Sorry to bother you again but wow bro that is really simple and amazing.

Reply Swag (https://www.homemade-circuits.com/) says Dear Loganathan, you can use the IC 4071B, and use one gate out of the 4 gates in it, Make sure to ground all the inputs of the unused 3 gates. The transistor can be BCSS7 or ant similar. ‘Sometimes I may forget to add the component number, but you can always ask me to update the missing ones, Ill do it quickly. In the second design if the transformer is single polarity type then the anti-corrosion effect will not work, it has to be dual or push pull in nature Reply Godson says hitpsiwww-homemade-clrults-convant-corrosion-probes-or-waterlovell 181222raro20 [Ant-Corrsion Probes for Water Level Controle | Homemade Circult Projects Hello sir Swagatam, 1 stumbled upon this link in the response you gave to a question of the main article. I assembled the the circuit in the main article and it worked quite well. But I assembled and tested it in a small water container. Thank you for providing the circuit above to solve the issue of corrosion. I want to wire the last circuit with just four levels and not six. My questions go thus: 1. Can [use the circuit in a water tank that is about 3-4meters in height and get a good result, knowing that the distance between the probes will be much? If yes, 2. Do I put the “base probe” which is from the BC547 and BC5S7 at the base of the tank and put the other four probes at their respective positions or will each of the four probes have their own “base probe” beside them for better response? 3. Is the IC still 4049 or another? Reply Swag (https://www.homemade-cireuits.com/) says, Hi Godson, glad you could build it suey fully, here are the answers: 1) yes you can use ti for deeper tanks since the use of a frequency makes the conduction sharper and long ranged. 2) You mean to say the emitter probes? Yes the probe is required to be placed at the bottom of the tank 3) The IC is 4049, Reply Godson says Hello sir Swagatam, ‘Thanks a lot for the response. Yes I meant to say the emitter probes.

An AC is made up of two alternating DCs, right?, therefore applying this AC will be like applying two alternating DCs at the gate inputs, ...therefore the working will be perfectly OK just as explained in the article...
