DC 3V-5V Water Level Sensor

This type of water level sensor is a simple yet effective device used to detect the presence or absence of water.1 It typically operates on a DC voltage supply of 3V to 5V and provides an analog output signal.2

Key Specifications:

  • Operating Voltage: 3V-5V DC3
  • Operating Current: Less than 20mA4
  • Output Signal: Analog (voltage)5
  • Detection Area: Varies depending on the specific model, but typically around 40mm x 16mm6
  • Operating Temperature: 10°C to 30°C7
  • Humidity: 10% to 90% non-condensing8

How it Works:

The sensor consists of a series of exposed conductive traces.9 When these traces come into contact with water, the electrical resistance between the traces decreases. This change in resistance is then converted into an analog voltage signal, which can be read by a microcontroller or other electronic devices.10

Applications:

  • Water Level Monitoring: Detecting water levels in tanks, reservoirs, or other containers.11
  • Leak Detection: Detecting water leaks in pipes or appliances.
  • Irrigation Systems: Controlling irrigation systems based on soil moisture levels.
  • Home Automation: Automating tasks like watering plants or filling water tanks.

Key Considerations:

  • Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the sensor can vary depending on the water quality and the specific model.
  • Calibration: It may be necessary to calibrate the sensor to ensure accurate readings.
  • Noise: Electrical noise can affect the sensor’s performance, so proper shielding and grounding techniques should be used.
  • Power Supply: Ensure a stable power supply to the sensor.

By understanding the basic principles and specifications of DC 3V-5V water level sensors, you can effectively use them in various projects to monitor and control water levels.
