When the water level is below both sensors, IC1C output (pin #10) is low; if the water becomes in contact with the Ianger sensor the output remains law until the shorter sensor is reached. At this paint IC1C output gues high, Qi conducts, the Relay is energized and the pump starts operating, Now, the watar level begins to decrease and the shorter senso” will be no longar in contact with the water, but IC1C outaut will be hold high by the signal ratum to pin #5 Of (CAB, so the pump will continue its cperation. But when the water level falls below the longer senser, [C1C output goes low and the pump wil stop. SIN fs optional and wes adued to provide reverse operation, Switching SW4 in order to connect R3 to pin #11 of ICLD, the pump will agerate when the reservair is nearly empty and will step when the rosarvoir is full, In this caso, the pump will be used to fil the reservoir and not ta empty it as in the default operating made, Notes: © The two steel rods rust be supported by a small insulated (woacen ar plastic) board © The circuit can be used also with non-metal tanks, provided a third steel rod havirg shout the sama height of the tank wil be added and connected to the circuit's Fegative ground.
