Water Level Indicator Using IC

The water level indicator using ic is a system that gets information about the water level in tanks which is used in homes and public places. We can control the overflow of water tanks by using the tank level indicator. As everybody knows When the water is stored in the tank, nobody can identify the actual level of water in the water tank. That is way mostly water tank overflow and its great loss of water as well as electricity.

In this simple water level indicator project, we have used a Switching IC ULN 2003  to indicate the water in the tank. Nowadays many projects on water indicators are available such as slope indicator water level meters, Digital water level indicators, water indicators using transistors, water level indicator alarms, etc.

Water Level Indicator Using IC ULN 2003

In this circuit, we are using switching IC ULN 2003 commonly used switching IC. Components used in these Projects areas:

• ULN2003 is a high current and high voltage Darling-ton array IC. It consists of seven open collector darling-ton pairs with common emitters. Darling-ton pair is an arrangement of two bipolar transistors. It is a relay driver IC other types of similar ICa are high-side toggle switches, low-side toggle switches, Darlington transistors, bipolar NPN transistors, N-channel MOSFET, ULN2003 driver IC, etc.
• LEDs this ic has 7 output pins that are why we are going to use 7 LEDs as water level indicator in the tank. These LEDs will glow according to the Level of water in the tank.
• Battery: A DC supply of 9V is given through a  battery to power up the circuit or you can use a 9 to 12v DC supply as power.
• Resistor 220-ohm resistors are used in this circuit to protect the LEDs because we are using 9 volts to 12 volts power supply.

Circuit Diagram water-level-indicator using ic

In this following animated circuit diagram, we have cleared all components with their connection you can use long wires according to the distance of your tank to the electric board.

Water Level Indicator Using Alarm

We can also use an alarm with this circuit. It will alert you that now the tank is full and you should turn off the water pump.

Tank Level Indicator Auto Powered off

We can also use a Cut off Relay with this circuit, When the Tank will be full relay will cut off the power automatically.

In this circuit given about we have cleared all connections with the auto cut-off water pump When the tank will be full water Pump will auto turn off because a relay is connected with the 7th output of ic.
