Abstract
In this study, the development of an automatic
water level detection and control system using a waterproof ultrasonic sensor,
A02YYUW was considered. Two sensors were used to detect the depth of the water
level in both the elevated and the reservoir tanks. Control signals were then
sent to microcontroller, ATmega328P for switching the pump on or off, as
appropriate. The purpose of the research is to provide continuous supply of
water at all times, eliminate the labour associated with turning the water pump
on and off, reduce cost of fuelling an electric generator to power the water
pump and to protect the water pump from running on empty tank, which may cause
its total damage. The experimental results showed the sensor producing more
accurate measurements at moderate ambient temperatures, as compared with the
actual measurements of the water level from the sensor. The proposed system can
be used for monitoring and control of distances in areas where the involvement
of human can be catastrophic.
