Abstract

Every design come out when there is a problem. The design is to create to solve the existing problems. Now, people who used conventional pump have replaced with electrical pump but they find it very inconvenient to the condition of water pump motor when it operates. As a solution of this problem, one project has been designed known as Water Tank Level Controller. This design consists of two elements; control circuit and sensing mechanism. The methodology of this design can be done by several steps. First, simulate the control circuit. Second run the simulation to get the results. Then, design the sensing mechanism. Forth, synchronize between the control circuit and sensing mechanism. Lastly, do several testings. The expected results were the control circuit that produced a great output and there is no problem with that circuit. From the sensing mechanism, the system will well-operated. In its entirety, the sensing mechanism and control circuit should be synchronized well between each other. The design needs less supervision and less maintenance. Sensing mechanism that used to sense the water level in this project is easy to build. The control circuit is also easy to fabricate on general purpose PCB board because it just used common electronic components. Water Tank Level Controller is very user friendly because it doesn't require frequent supervision. The life time of the water pump motor can be expanded because the motor operated only on demand. This design also increase efficiency of overhead tank but at the same time reduces the power consumption. Hence, if the design can reduce power consumption and the objective of this design are achieved.
