WATER LEVEL SENSOR

Description

Sensor height of the water normally used to calculate the height of water in rivers, lakes, or water tank. The sensor is very easy to make because the material - a simple danger. Water level sensors are made now are made of a magnetic sensor, magnetic, pendulum and pipes.

Sensor How it Works
At the height of the water rises, it will automatically magnetized pendulum will go up as well, and when the magnet is at the next level sensor then the sensor will be active and turn on the lights or other equipment. If you want to make the following rangkaianya schematics water level sensor.

Description schematics:

Batteries to power the lights.
magnetic sensors to detect magnetic (magnetic sensor to function as a relay or switch on / off when there is a detectable magnetic field around it).
Pendulum to lift the magnet in the water.
Lights to indicate the sensor is active or not (in this circuit, if the light is on, then the magnetic sensor is switched on)

Application

Water level sensors are usually applied at the reservoir water, lakes, reservoirs, water tanks or tanks containing materials - hazardous materials, such as waste. Here's an example of application of water-level sensors in kehidupa day - the day:

Thus, some applications use a water level sensor in our daily lives - today.
