1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Water Level Controller System is an Electronic Equipment which when electrically connected to the starter of any given pump -set motor will control the operation of the pump- set depending upon the water level in the Source and Destination Storage Tanks. It Switches ON the Pump-set when Water level drops below pre-set level in Overhead Tank, Switches OFF the Pump-set when Water level in Overhead Tank becomes full ,Switches OFF the Pump-set when Water level is low in tank , and Switches ON the Pump-set when there is sufficient water in the tank.

Automatic water level controller circuit is a engineering project. It can automatically switch ON and OFF the domestic water pump set depending on the tank water level. You can implement this motor driver circuit at your home or college using less costly components. The main advantage of this water level controller circuit is that it automatically controls the water pump without any user interaction.

The automatic pump controller eliminates the need for any manual switching of pumps installed for the purpose of pumping water from a reservoir to an overhead tank. It automatically switches on the pump when the water level in the tank falls below a certain low level, provided the water level in the reservoir is above a certain level . Subsequently, as the water level in the tank rises to an upper level (M), the pump switched off automatically. The pump is turned on again only when the water level again falls below level in the tank, provided the level in the reservoir is above R. This automated action continues.

1.1      ADVANTAGES OF WATER LEVEL CONTROLLER

Advantages of automatic intruder are as follows:

  • Suitability : These water level controllers are ideally suited for normal water as well as for ultra low conductivity water with less than 1 micro/moh.
  • Easy to Operate : this systems come fitted with sensitivity setting which can be provided externally on a dial or with internal settings.
  • Settings : It is equipped with technology which works on low or high sensitivity settings on the same machine and thereby saves costs of buying and using two different machines.
  • Materials of Construction : this water control system is  protected the against corrosion.
  • Safety : This system is highly insulated, leakage proof and works without creating any noise.
  • Save roofs
  • Save water
  • Save electricity

 1.2 FEATURES OF AUTOMATIC WATER LEVEL CONTROLLER

1)   Automatic Water Level Controller (AWLC) will automatically START the pump set as soon as the water level falls below the predetermined level (usually kept half or 2/3rd tank) and shall SWITCH OFF the pump set as soon as tank is full or water level in the lower tank is at below minimum level.
2)   This system provides you the flexibility to decide for yourself the water levels for operations of pump set in upper/lower tanks.
3)   Built in Indications for showing Full, Empty Levels in Upper Tank and Lower Tank Empty Indication.
4)   Manual operation switch for special operations like watering the plants from pump set.
5)   The system ensures no overflows or dry running of pump there by saves electricity and water.
6)   Consume very little energy, ideal for continuous operation.

Advanced Automatic “water level controller” unit Manufactured by M.V.Instruments is a Microprocessor based Electronic Device. This system when electrically connected to an Pump-set starter, performs the following functions automatically:

  • Switches ON the Pump-set when Water level drops below pre-set level (i.e. T2 level) in Overhead Tank.
  • Switches OFF the Pump-set when Water level in Overhead Tank becomes full (i.e. T1 level).
  • Switches OFF the Pump-set when Water level is low in Sump/Well/Borewell (i.e. S2 level).
  • Switches ON the Pump-set when there is sufficient water in the Sump/ Well / Bore-well (i.e. S1 level).
  • Switches OFF the Pump-set when there is a Dry run (i.e. when Water is not being pumped into Overhead Tank due to any reason).
  • Low Voltage and High Voltage Protection for the Pump-set is incorporated.
  • The system has Surge Voltage/Current Protection for the Pump-set.
  • All these functions are automatically performed. Manual interference is absolutely not required.
  • Manual operation is also possible if and when required by operating the switch in Manual Position.
2.2 REVIEW OF MANY LOGIC PROBE CIRCUIT IDEAS
