ABSTRACT
This project is inspired to monitor and detect water level when the water filled up in
house water tank. When water is filled up with the house water tank, water level must be
determined. So, this project is required to design and implement a circuit that detects water
level and shows by numbers of the LED and the alarm will function when the water is filled
up with the house water tank. The project circuit is also included the specific conductivity
mechanism that would show the levels of different numbers of LED when the water is filled
up with the house water tank. The specific conductivity varies with temperature, volume and
separation distance of the measurement probes. Normally, water tap has a conductance of
about 50 uS /cm and 20K Ohm / cm at 25 C. The circuit is drawn out as a block diagram,
and then entered in a schematic using MULTISIM to simulate for correct functionality.
Once the circuit is performed accurately in testing it will be assembled with the actual
components on a breadboard and will be verified using laboratory equipment.

ABSTRAK
Projek ini diinspirasikan untuk mengawal dan mengesan paras air apabila air diisi ke
dalam tangki air rumah. Apabila air sedang diisi ke dalam tangki air rumah,kandungan air
didalam tangki tidak dapat dilihat tidak dapat mengenal pasti paras air tersebut.Jadi,projek
ini perlu merekabentuk dan memasang litar yang boleh mengesan paras air dan paras air
tersebut boleh ditunjukkan berdasarkan bilangan LED yang menyala seterusnya alat
penngera akan berbunyi apabila sampai ke paras air yang dikehendaki.Litar project ini
menggunakan mekanisme `specific conductivity` yang akan mengesan paras air yang
berbezaapabila air memenuhi tangki air rumah. `Specific conductivity` beebeza dengan
suhu,isipadu dan jarak pembahagian antara alat pengukur.Kebiasaanya, air mempunyai
pengalir iaitu 50 uS /cm dan 20K Ohm / cm pada 25 C.Litar ini dilukis menggunakan
MULTISIM untuk disimulasi untuk mendapat fungsi yang betul.Kemudian,semua
komponen yang sebenar digabung dan disusun pada papan litar dan diujikaji menggunakan
peralatan makmal.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project overview
This project is used the specific conductivity which varies with temperature, volume
and separation distance of the measurement probes. Water tap has a conductance of about 50
uS / cm measured at 25 Co. This project circuit triggers with any fluid with a resistance
between the maximum separation distances of the probes. The circuit has 4050B CMOS hex
buffer. All gates are biased off by the resistors connected between the ground and the buffer
input. The "common" probe is the topmost probe above probe 1 in the diagram is connectedto the positive 5 volt supply. If probe 1 is spaced 1 cm away from the common probe and
water tap at 25 Cois detected between the probes (a resistance of 20k) then the top gate is
activated and the LED 1 will light. Similarly if probe 2 at 2 cm distance from the common
probe detects water, LED 2 will light and so on. Switch 1 is used to select which output
from the hex buffer will trigger the alarm made from the gates of a CMOS 4011B IC.

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
This chapter will discuss the literature review according to the Water Level
Activated Alarm system that is used in the residential and industrial areas. Summary of
Commonly Used Water Level Technologies also discussed in this chapter based on their
descriptions, advantages and disadvantages. Water Level technologies are very important to
discuss when designing the water level activated alarm which depends on the type of liquid,
size of the tank and the tank. This chapter as show the operation and the circuit diagram in
the residential and industrial areas. This is important to compare the Water Level Activated
Alarm system advantages and disadvantages.

2.2 Water Leve l Indicator
Figure 2.1:Water level indicator circuit diagram
This circuit not only indicates the amount of water present in the overhead tank but
also gives an alarm when the tank is full. The circuit uses the widely available CD4066,
bilateral switch CMOS IC to indicate the water level through LEDs.When the water is
empty the wires in the tank are open circuited and the 180K resistors pulls the switch low
hence opening the switch and LEDs are OFF. As the water starts filling up, first the wire in
the tank connected to S1 and the positive supply are shorted by water. This closes the switch
S1 and turns the LED1 ON. Similarly the LED 1, the LED 2, LED 3 and LED 4 light
gradually when the water continues to fill the tank. The number of levels of indication can
be increased to 8 if 2 CD4066 ICs are used in a similar fashion. When the water is full, the
base of the transistor BC148 is pulled high by the water and this saturates the transistor,
turning the buzzer ON. The SPST switch has to be opened to turn the buzzer OFF. [12]
