INTELLIGENT OVERHEAD TANK WATER
LEVEL INDICATOR
ABSTRACT
The
project is designed to give a display of water level in a tank. The reading
given is in the sale of 0 to 9. A priority encoder is interfaced to a decoder
to get the display of water level on 7 segment display.
This is the
circuit designed for overhead tank digital water level indicator. It is built
around priority encoder, BCD-to-7-segment decoder, 7-segment display and a few
discrete components. Due to high input impedance, priority encoder senses water
in the container from its nine input terminals. The inputs are connected to
+5V. The ground terminal of the sensor must be kept at the bottom of the
container (tank). Priority encoder has nine active-low inputs and converts the
active input into active- low BCD output. It uses a 7-segment display to show
the water level in numeric form from ‘0’ to ‘9.’
The power supply consists of a step down transformer
230/12V, which steps down the voltage to 12V AC. This is converted to DC using
a Bridge rectifier. The ripples are removed using a capacitive filter and it is
then regulated to +5V using a voltage regulator 7805 which is required for the
operation of different ICs and components.
Further the project can be enhanced by interfacing it
with a buzzer to alert when the water level is falls below the minimum level.
