This circuit is designed to detect the presence or absence of aqueous fluids. An ac signal generated on-chip is passed through two probes within the fluid. A detector determines the presence of the fluid by using the probes in a voltage divider circuit and.... -
When the water level is low, the probe is out of the water and SCRl is triggered on. It conducts and imposes a heavy load on transformer Tl"s secondary winding. That load is reflected back into the primary, gating triac TRl on, which energizes the load. If.... -
Although many circuits use the varying-capacitance method for checking liquid levels, this simple resistive circuit is much easier to construct. Even a tank of a liquid, such as water, has sufficient conductive salts in solution for this method to work..... -
This monitor uses a common 7 41 amp configured as a comparator and a low cost nontransistor as an output driver. With no liquid detected, a voltage of about 2. 92 V is present in the op amp"s inverting input at pin 2. The 100-KO resistors establish a.... -
The sensor is an RC oscillator in which, a water-absorbent plastic film is the insulator in the capacitive element. The capacitance of the film increases with the amount of water it absorbs from the air, and thus reduces the oscillation frequency. A.... -
A simple bridge rectifier and a 12-V regUlator powers the MOSFET sensing circuit. The unregUlated output of the bridge rectifier operates the drain solenoid via switch S1: The sensor itself is built from two electrodes: one made of copper, -the other.... -
This circuit will power up a water pump when the water reaches a predetermined level. Then it turns itself off when the.. -
