Water Level Indicator-3

This document describes a water level indicator circuit that uses a 7-segment display to indicate the water level in a tank as low, half, or full. It uses five sensors at different levels in the tank that are connected to NOT gates to sense the water level. When the water reaches each level, a different digit ('L', 'H', or 'F') will light up on the 7-segment display. It also includes a buzzer that will sound when the water overflows to alert the user. More details on this project and other circuit ideas can be found at deekshith.in. The website offers documentation, kits, and support for students to complete this or other projects.

Water-Level Indicator
using 7-segment display

Riju Thazhathu Veettil

his water-level indicator uses


a 7-segment display, instead
of LEDs, to indicate the water
level (low, half and full) in the tank.
Moreover, a buzzer is used to alert you
of water overflowing from the tank.
The circuit shows the water level by
displaying L, H and F for low, half and
full, respectively.
The circuit uses five sensors to
sense the different water levels in the

a high voltage at the input pin of the


NOT gate, it outputs a low voltage.
Similarly, for a low voltage at the input
pin of the NOT gate, it outputs a high
voltage.
When the tank is empty, the input
pins of IC 7404 are pulled high via a
1-mega-ohm resistor. So it outputs a
low voltage. As water starts filling the
tank, a low voltage is available at the
input pins of the gate and it outputs a
high voltage.

tank. Sensor A is connected to the


negative terminal (GND) of the power
supply. The other four sensors (B
through E) are connected to the inputs
of NOT gate IC 7404. When there is

When the water in the tank rises


to touch the low level, there is a low
voltage at input pin 5 of gate N3 and
high output at pin 6. Pin 6 of the gate is
connected to pin 10 of gate N9, so pin

10 also goes high. Now as both pins 9


and 10 of gate N9 are high, its output
pin 8 also goes high. As a result, positive supply is applied to DIS3 and it
shows L indicating low level of water
in the tank.
Similarly, when water in the tank
touches the half level, pins 4 and 5
of AND gate N8 become high. As a
result, its output also goes high and
DIS2 shows H indicating half level of
water in the tank. At this time, pin 9 of
gate N9 also goes low
via gate N4 and DIS3
stops glowing.
When the water
tank becomes full,
the voltage at pin 1
of gate N1 and pin 3
of gate N2 goes low.
Output pin 3 of gate
N7 goes high and
DIS1 shows F indicating that the water
tank is full.
When water starts
overflowing the tank,
pin 13 of gate N6 goes
low to make output
pin 12. The buzzer
sounds to indicate
that water is overflowing the tank and
you need to switch off
the motor pump.
Assemble the circuit on a general-purpose PCB and enclose
in a suitable box. Use a non-corrosive
material such as steel strip for the five
sensors and hang them in the water tank
as shown in the circuit diagram. Use
regulated 5V to power the circuit.
