Overhead Tank Water Level Automatic Controller and Indicator

This document describes an automatic overhead tank water level controller and indicator. It controls when a motor turns on to pump water into the tank and off again based on the water level. The controller addresses issues with forgetting to turn pumps off, resulting in overflow. It allows users to set low and high water level thresholds and displays the current level as a percentage. Two solutions are proposed - a digital control circuit and analog control circuit. Block diagrams and requirements for each are provided.

OVERHEAD TANK WATER LEVEL AUTOMATIC CONTROLLER AND

INDICATOR:
INTRODUCTION:
Many times we forget to switch off the motor pushing water into the overhead tank
(OHT) in our households. As a result, water keeps overflowing until we notice the
overflow and switch the pump off. As the OHT is usually kept on the topmost floor, it
is cumbersome to go up frequently to check the water level in the OHT.

Our goal of this project is to develop a water-level controller-cum-motor


protector to solve this problem. It controls on and off conditions of the
motor depending upon the level of water in the tank. The status is displayed
on a Seven Segment display module.

REQUIRMENTS OF THE MODULE:


1- The Module should provide continuous water level information on the LED i.e.
how much percent tank is full at the moment.
2- The module should automatically turn the motor ON when the water level is
lower than the preset value and continue pumping water
3- The module should Turn the pump off when the preset high level is achieved
and keep the pump off until water level is dropped to low level
4- The Module should allow the user to set his desired value for low level and
high level as well. I.e. at what level user wants to refill the OHT and how
much water the user wants to fill in the tank.

SOLUTION FOR REQUIREMENTS:


We have developed two solutions for the above mentioned requirements
1- Digital Control circuit
2- Analog Control Circuit
