Presentation For Water Level Controller

The document describes an automated water level control system created by Nwaobilor Promise Uzoma. The system uses an ultrasonic sensor and microcontroller to monitor water levels in a tank and control a pump to prevent overflow or empty tanks. It aims to remove human factors, ensure constant water supply, and save power. The system was prototyped using an Arduino Nano microcontroller, ultrasonic sensor, relay, diode, transistor, and LEDs to automate pumping based on water levels measured contactless by the sensor. Testing showed it could effectively automate pumping and reduce water waste or shortages compared to manual control.

SUMMARY
NEED FOR THE SYSTEM
The idea for the system arose when I observed
that there was a need to somehow control the
water pump based on the amount of water in
the tank at my family home because of the
water spillage which often covers the street in
the morning whenever water was pumped.
My stay at atopet automations for my siwes
presented a means to solve this problem by
GETTING STARTED

THE SYSTEM REQUIRES A WAYS OF DETERMINING THE LEVEL OF WATER IN


THE TANK AND WILL USE THIS INFORMATION TO EITHER TURN-ON IF THE
LEVEL IS LOW AND NEEDS REFILLING OR TURN-OFF IF THE LEVEL IS HIGH
ENOUGH TO THE PREDETERMINED LEVEL OR VOLUME

TO ACHIEVE THE MONITORING OF THE LEVEL/ AMOUNT OF THE WATER IN


THE TANK , AND SENSOR IS USED AND A CONTROL IS USED TO EFFECT THE
REGULATION OF THE PUMP. TO TURN-ON OR TURN-OFF BASED ON THE
INFORMATION FROM THE SENSOR IN THE TANK.
COMPONENTS USED
ARDUINO NANO
MICROCONTROLL
ER

This is the central


brain that receives
and transmits signal
from the sensor in
the tank to the
control system
ULTRASONIC
SENSOR

DETERMINES THE
AMOUNT OF WATER IN
THE TANK AND DOES SO
CONTACTLESS USING
ULTRASONIC WAVES
THAT BOUNCES-OFF THE
SURFACE OF THE WATER
BACK TO THE SENSOR
TO ACHIEVE
MEASUREMENT.
RELAY

THIS IS THE COMPONENT THAT


ACTUALIZES THE CONTROL OF THE
PUMP.
DIODE

THIS IS A SAFETY MECHANISM


THAT ENSURES THAT
ELECTRICAL POWER DOES NOT
FLOW IN REVERSE DIRECTION
DAMAGING THE
MICROCONTROLLER.
TRANSISTOR

THIS AMPLIFIES THE OUTPUT


SIGNAL FROM THE
MICROCONTROLLER TO THE
RELAY.
LEDS

THIS INDICATES THE


PRESENT STATE OF THE
SYSTEM;
RED LED > THE
SYSTEM IS TURNED-OFF
GREEN LED > THE
SYSTEM IS TURNED-ON
RESISTOR

THIS DECREASES
THE ELECTRICAL
POWER GOING TO
THE TRANSISTOR.
PROTOTYPING AND INSTALLATION

CONCLUSION

THIS TYPE OF WATER LEVEL CONTROLLER WILL REDUCE THE HUMAN


INTERFERENCE. THE POWER CONSUMPTION OF THE MOTOR AND THE
WASTAGE OF WATER BECAUSE OF UNWANTED OVERFLOW CAN BE
CONTROLLED.
