Read More »5 Minutes Timer Circuit To Turn Off Electrical Devices
A timer circuit is used to generate an output pulse after a given period of time. This time can be in the order of seconds or minutes. The length of the output pulse can be varied by changing the frequency at which the clock signal is applied to the timer’s input pin. Time interval can be measured in seconds, minutes, …
Read More »Water Tank Overflow Alarm Circuit With Momentary Switch To Turn Off The Alarm
Author: Manikandan K J This circuit produces an audible alarm when the water level in a rain or water tank rises above a preset level and overflows. It will sound an alarm whenever the water level reaches the top position in the overhead tank, thus it alerts one to turn off the motor to prevent water wastage. The purpose of …
Read More »Semi-Automatic Water Level Controller Circuit Project Using 555 Timer With Indicator
A semi-automatic water level controller circuit is used for automatically controlling the level of water in a tank and avoid overflowing. This circuit is made up of a sensor, timer chip, relay, pump driver and power supply. The sensor senses the water level in the tank and converts it to voltage. The timer chip takes care of sensing voltage from sensor …
