ABSTRACT

Water level Indicators, as the name we hear seems to be an easy project and a small
application. But the small applications when, are actually put into practice, mean a lot.

To automize the system and make the things easy for putting them into actual practice, a
unique system for this application has been developed using magnetic sensors and a
wireless technique, RF . At the transmitter side, i.e., at the tank, the sensors are fixed at
specified locations on the container. A floating magnet floats on the liquid and triggers
the magnetic sensors one by one based on the liquid level. The transmitter continuously
transmits the liquid level. At the receiver side, the receiver receives the liquid level and
passes the data to the controlling unit.

The microcontroller in the controlling unit continuously monitors the liquid level and the
level will be displayed on LCD. If the maximum level is reached, the microcontroller
switches off the motor. If the liquid reaches the lower level, the controller drives the
driver circuit and switches on the motor. The level of the content is displayed on LCD.
Relay driver circuit can be activated by sensing “Level Full” and “Low Level” indicators
and operates the motor automatically.

One of the Wireless Technologies is RF (Radio Frequency). That is, sending and
receiving the data in the range of RF frequencies. We have chosen this wireless
technology since it is cheaper when compared to other wireless technologies and the
interference of other signals while data transmission and reception will be less in this
frequency range.

The RF modules used here are STT-433 MHz Transmitter, STR-433 MHz Receiver,
HT640 RF Encoder and HT648 RF Decoder. The encoder continuously reads the data
from the sensors, passes the data to the RF transmitter and the transmitter transmits the
data.
At the receiving end, the RF receiver receives this data, gives it to RF decoder. This
decoder converts the single bit data into 8-bit data and presents it to the microcontroller.
Now, it is the job of the controller to read the data and perform the corresponding action
i.e., to sense the current liquid level, check whether the liquid level has reached to it
maximum level and also display the liquid level on the LCD.

This project uses regulated 5V, 500mA power supply. 7805 three terminal voltage
regulator is used for voltage regulation. Bridge type full wave rectifier is used to rectify
the ac out put of secondary of 230/12V step down transformer.
