ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

It gives us immense pleasure to thank our Head of the department Mr.B.Raja Rao garu, ECE for having been a source of constant inspiration, precious guidance and generous assistance during the project work. I deem it as a privilege to have worked under his able guidance. Without his close monitoring and valuable suggestions this work wouldnt have taken this shape. I feel that his help is unsubstitutable and unforgettable. We are also thankful to honorable Principal, Mr. Naga Bhaskar garu and we express our sincere gratitude and deep sense of respect for making us available with all the required assistance and for his support and inspiration to carry out this project in the Institute. We are thankful to the teaching and non-teaching staff of ECE department for their direct as well as indirect help in our project. We are elated to avail ourselves to this opportunity to express our deep sense of gratitude to our parents.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
Most water-level indicators for water tank are based up on number of LEDs that glow to indicate the corresponding level of water in the container. Here we present a digital version of the water level indicator. It uses a 7-segment display to show the water level in numeric form from 0-9. The circuit works off 5V regulated power supply. It is built around priority encoder IC 74HC147 (IC1), BCD-to-7 segment decoder IC CD4511 (IC2), 7-segment display LTS543 (DISI) a few discrete components. Due to high input impedance, IC1 senses water in the container from its nine input terminals. The inputs are connected to +5V via 560kilo-ohm resistors. The ground terminal of the sensor must be kept at the bottom of the container (tank). IC 74HC147 has nine active-low inputs and converts the active input into active-low BCD output. The input L-9 has the highest priority and L-0 has the lowest priority. The outputs of IC1 (A, B, C and D) are fed to IC2 via transistors T1 through T4. This logic

inverter is used to convert the active-low output of IC into active-high for IC2. The BCD code received by IC2 is shown on 7-segment display LTS543 resistors R18 through R24 limit the current through the display. When the tank is empty, all the inputs of IC1 remain high. As a result its output also remains high, making all the inputs of IC1 remain high, making all the inputs of IC1 remain high, making all the inputs of IC2 low. Display at this stage shows 0, which means the tank is empty. Similarly, when the water level reaches L-1 position, the display shows 1 and when the water level reaches L-8 position the display shows 8. Finally, when the tank is full, all the inputs of IC1 become low and its output goes low to make all the inputs of IC2 high. Display LTS543 now shows 9, which means tank is full for sensors L-1 through L-9 and ground.
