Description: This liquid detector circuit diagram is designed using common electronic components. The liquid detector can activate an active buzzer to produce sound when a certain water level is reached. Since the water sensor and control circuit for the buzzer are located on the same printed circuit board, the indicator, along with a 9 V battery and buzzer, can be mounted in a compact case. When water reaches the sensor, the base of transistor T1 is connected to the positive supply terminal. As a result, T1 and T2 become activated, causing buzzer BZ1 to sound. The sensitivity of the circuit can be adjusted by increasing the value of resistor R2.
The liquid detector circuit utilizes a straightforward arrangement of electronic components to monitor water levels effectively. The core of the circuit comprises two transistors, T1 and T2, which function as switches to control the buzzer, BZ1. The operation begins when the water level rises to a predetermined point, activating the sensor. This sensor is typically a conductive type, which completes the circuit when submerged.
Upon activation, the sensor sends a signal to the base of T1, causing it to conduct. This action turns on T2, which subsequently energizes the buzzer, producing an audible alert. The use of a 9 V battery ensures sufficient power for the buzzer and the transistors while maintaining a compact design suitable for housing in a small enclosure.
The circuit includes a resistor, R2, which plays a critical role in determining the sensitivity of the water level detection. By increasing the resistance value, the current flowing to the base of T1 can be reduced, thus requiring a higher water level to activate the circuit. This feature allows for customization based on specific application needs, making the liquid detector versatile for various environments.
Overall, this liquid detection circuit is an efficient solution for water level monitoring, combining simplicity with effectiveness, and is ideal for applications such as sump pumps, aquariums, and other water management systems.This liquid detector circuit diagram is designed using common electronic components. The liquid detector may operate an active buzzer, to make a sound when is reached a certain level of water. Because water sensor and control circuit for buzzer are located on the same printed circuit board, indicator, together with 9 V battery and buzzer can be mo
unted in a compact case. When water reaches the sensor, the base of T1 is connected to the positive supply terminal. Therefore, T1 and T2 are open, so that buzzer BZ1, will be activated. Sensitivity reduction of the circuit can be done by increasing the value of R2.
