These modules typically consist of a series of exposed conductive traces. When these traces come into contact with water, the conductivity between them changes, which the module translates into an electrical signal.
Many of these modules provide an analog output, meaning the output voltage varies proportionally to the water level. This allows for more precise level detection.
Key Features:
Analog Output: Provides a variable voltage output, enabling precise water level measurement.
Simple Interface: Easy to connect to Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers.
Compact Design: Small and lightweight, making them suitable for various applications.
Cost-Effective: Generally inexpensive, making them accessible for hobbyists and professionals.
Durable: many are designed with robust materials.
No moving parts: many simpler versions of these sensors have no moving parts, increasing their reliability.
Applications:
Water Tank Level Monitoring:Automatically monitor and control water levels in tanks.
Aquarium Automation: Maintain optimal water levels in aquariums.
Rain Detection: Detect rainfall for weather monitoring systems.
Leak Detection: Detect water leaks in pipes or appliances.
Irrigation Systems: Automate watering in gardens or farms.
Liquid level alarms: create systems that will alarm when water levels reach certain heights.
Specifications (Typical):
Operating Voltage: DC 3-5V.
Operating Current: Less than 20mA.
Sensor Type: Analog.
Detection Area: Varies depending on the module.
Operating Temperature: 10°C - 30°C (typical).
Humidity: 10% - 90% non-condensing.
