Introduction & Specifications

Did you forget to turn off the tap? Is the washing machine leaking? Will the aquarium level fall too low? Has

the rain water tank overflowed? Do you have water in the cellar? Just a minor mishap, or a disaster! You can

avoid all this by installing the liquid level controller in the right way and in the right place.

 Level indicator : three LED's are used to indicate “LOW LEVEL”, “MEDIUM LEVEL”and “HIGH LEVEL”.

 Level controller : the relay automatically switches a pump and/or valve on and off to keep the level

between “LOW”and “HIGH”.

 Alarm : an “alarm”signal is available to indicate “wet”or “dry”. Some applications may demand a siren (e.g.

KIT K2604), or perhaps a bell or a lamp may be more suitable.

It is possible to replace the liquid sensors with other sensors, e.g. temperature or light dependent resistors

(NTC/LDR) and thus use the device as a temperature/light controller.

Assembly hints

1. Assembly (Skipping this can lead to troubles ! )

Ok, so we have your attention. These hints will help you to make this project successful. Read them carefully.

1.1 Make sure you have the right tools:

• A good quality soldering iron (25-40W) with a small tip.

• Wipe it oftenon a wet sponge or cloth, to keep it clean; then apply solder to the tip, to give it a wet look. This is called ‘thinning’and will

protect the tip, and enables you to make goodconnections. When solder rolls off the tip, it needs cleaning.

• Thin raisin-core solder. Do not use any flux or grease.

• A diagonal cutter to trim excess wires. To avoid injury when cutting excess leads, hold the lead so they

cannot fly towards the eyes.

• Needle nose pliers, for bending leads, or to hold components in place.

• Small blade and Phillips screwdrivers. A basic range is fine.

For some projects, a basic multi-meter is required, or might be handy

1.2 Assembly Hints :

⇒ Make sure the skill level matches your experience, to avoid disappointments.

⇒ Follow the instructions carefully. Read and understand the entire step before you perform each operation.

⇒ Perform the assembly in the correct order as stated in this manual

⇒ Position all parts on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) as shown on the drawings.

⇒ Values on the circuit diagram are subject to changes.

⇒ Values in this assembly guide are correct*

⇒ Use the check-boxes to mark your progress.

⇒ Please read the included information on safety and customer service

* Typographical inaccuracies excluded. Always look for possible last minute manual updates,indicated as ‘NOTE’on a separate leaflet.

Assembly hints

1.3 Soldering Hints :

1- Mount the component against the PCB surface and carefully solder the leads

2- Make sure the solder joints are cone-shaped and shiny

3- Trim excess leads as close as possible to the solder joint

REMOVE THEM FROM THE TAPE ONE AT A TIME !

AXIAL COMPONENTS ARE TAPED IN THE

 Inspect the completed board thoroughly before connecting a power supply.

 When applying a DC voltage (16 to 18V/100 mA) :

The positive input should go to the pin nearest “AC IN”, the negative input

to the second pin (Fig 1.0).

 For connecting a transformer (12 to 14V/min 300 mA):

The connection sequence isn’t important (Fig 2.0).

 Put a link across low-level sensor S2, and LD2 should illuminate.

 Add another link across high-level sensor S1, and LD1 and LD4 should

both illuminate.

 Remove the link across input sensor S1, now LD2 should illuminate

together with LD4 (relay on).



Remove the link across input sensor S2, now only LD3 should illuminate.

For application as controller/indicator and alarm, 1 or 2 sensors must be connected. A sensor consists of 2

separated electric conductors : 2 metal strips on a PCB or a jack plug etc. There are 2 sensors on the sensor

PCB : S1 (HIGH LEVEL) and S2 (LOW LEVEL).

Cut a piece of your sensor PCB when the difference in height between S1 and S2 is too high for your application

(Fig 4.0).

On the contrary, if the levels are too close, lengthen S2 by soldering two un-insulated wires to the copper

traces (Fig 5.0).

Applications

A dry sensor behaves like an electric isolator. When the sensor is wet the resistance drops to some Kilo-Ohms

maximum. The electrical resistance of a sensor depends on the conductivity of the liquid, spacing between the

electrodes, and the wet areas of the electrodes. The specific conductivity of some liquids is so high that this

controller can’t detect them. Sometimes the problem may be solved by increasing the surface of the electrodes. To

avoid electrolysis or deposits on the sensor strips, the sensing voltage is alternating with a frequency around 1KHz.

INDICATOR / CONTROLLER

Connect both sensors.

 ATTENTION : Place sensor S1 higher than sensor S2

 NEVER USE sensors in an INFLAMMABLE ENVIRONMENT: when the sensors get dry

small sparks can occur which are able to ignite pockets of gas with a resultant

explosion. In a chemical environment (acids...) metal electrodes can erode. It may be

necessary to construct the electrodes of an inert metal e.g. inox.
