Introduction :

In this project we will be building a water level indicator using water


tank and a set of 3 SMD LED . We will show levels of water at three levels
where we use three led on a 0PCB kit as these led’s will show empty water tank
or water at low level or at intermediate level or aprox full .

Function of Components :

1. Resistor :

It is used to oppose the flow of current in the circuit to get a


desired output from the source .

In this project we need a low voltage supply to glow our led.


So we used a 1 kΩ resistor to get low voltage supply from a 9 volt
battery.

2. LED :
It is used to convert electrical energy into light energy directly.
It is also used to indicate something.
In this project we will use LED to indicate water level of our tank
i.e.,Low level,Intermediate level or Full level.

3. Battery :
A battery is a device which stores chemical energy and converts it
into electrical energy.
In this project we will use a 9 volt battery as a voltage source to
glow out the led for to know water level of our tank.
Circuit Operation / Working :

Connect first terminal of the resistor to the positive terminal of the


battery.Then connect all the cathode of the LED’s to the second terminal of the
resistor. And anode of the first LED at a bottom,second LED at intermediate ,third
LED at just below th top of the tank.The negative terminal of the battery put
bottom of the tank.

After it Switch on the circuit and pour water slightly into the tank .This
circuit is designed to indicate three levels of water stored in the tank: low but not
empty, half and full but not overflowing. When there is no water in the tank, all
the LEDs are off as an indication that the tank is completely empty. When water
level increases and touches the anode of LED 1, the LED 1 will glow indicating
that there is water within the tank is at low level. As the water level continues to
rise and reaches half the tank, LED 2 will glow. When the water in the tank rises
to full LED 3 will glow as an indication that the tank is almost full.

Total Cost Of The Project :

SR.NO. Component Quantity Price Total Price

1 Resistor 1 30 25

2 LED 3 10 30

3 0 PCB 1 50 50

4 Battery 1 40 40

5 Copper wire 1 10 10

Total cost of the project 155


Advantages :
1. It has a very simple circuit .
2. Easy to connect to tank.
3. To know water level.
Disadantages :
1. Loss of electrical energy.
2. At a high level it can not be used.
Applications :
1. We can use it anywhere at low level where we need to check water level.
2. We can use it at our home.
Conclusion :
In this micro-project we learnt the use of various electronic components
such as resistor , LED ,etc. and made a water level indicator simple circuit.
