Water Level Sensor

The Water Level Sensor is an electronic device used to detect the level of water in a container or tank. It can be used for various applications such as water tank level monitoring, water conservation systems, and automatic watering systems. The sensor typically consists of a series of parallel conductive traces that detect the presence of water when it bridges the gaps between them. Key Features:

• Easy to use and install
• Compatible with various microcontrollers
• Provides both analog and digital outputs
• High sensitivity to water level changes
• Low power consumption
• Durable and waterproof design

Technical Specifications:

• Operating Voltage: 3.3V to 5V
• Output Type: Analog (variable voltage) and Digital (High/Low)
• Current Consumption: <20 mA
• Detection Range: 0-100% of the sensor length
• Response Time: <500 ms
• Dimensions: Varies by model, typically small and compact (e.g., 45mm x 20mm)
• Operating Temperature Range: -10°C to +70°C

Applications:

• Water tank level monitoring
• Water conservation systems
• Automatic watering systems
• Sump pump control
• Liquid level monitoring in industrial processes

Usage:

1. Power Connection: Connect the VCC and GND pins to a suitable power source (3.3V or 5V).
2. Output Connection: Connect the analog output pin to an analog input of a microcontroller for variable level detection or the digital output pin to a digital input for threshold detection.
3. Integration: Place the sensor in the water container or tank at the desired level to monitor the water level.
4. Programming: Write software to read the sensor's output and take appropriate actions based on the water level detected.
