It is with pleasure that I find myself penning down these lines to express our
sincere thanks to various people to help us along the way in completing this
……………….as our project guide who really provided me with the required
information for this project and without her help this project would not have been
completed. We are also thankful to our parents who helped us in doing this
project.

To understand the concept of computer hardware the knowledge of electronics is must. The project
that I have chosen for understanding the concept of electronics is a water level indicator. Apart from begin
exposed towards the working of the various parts of the electronics systems, the project has the significance
The water level indicator works on the dc voltage. The main part of the circuit is the IC 40106.
Whenever the water level reaches at particular level the circuit of the IC 40106 gets completed and the IC

PARTS DETAIL
Resistance: Resistance is the property of the material by which it opposes the flow of current .The unit of
resistance is ohms. The circuit uses 5 carbon composition resistances whose value can be found using the
color coding.
Capacitor:- Capacitor has ability to store charge and release them at a later time. Capacitance is the
measure of the amount of charge that a capacitor can store for a given applied voltage. The unit of
capacitance is the farad (F) or microfarad. The capacitors used in the circuit is an electrolytic capacitor. The
value and voltage rating of the electrolytic capacitor can be directly read from the capacitor itself.

Voltage rating
In the circuit the electrolytic capacitor is used as a bypass capacitor. Any noise variation in the circuit is
The circuit is being printed on the PCB. The circuit uses two PCB’s. On one PCB there is detector circuit.
Other PCB consists of the copper strips for sensing the level of the water.
CD 40106
The level of the water is being sensed by an Integrated circuit (CD 40106).
The IC 40106 is a 14 pin integrated circuit. When the water reaches a particular level the strip gets shorted
with the ground strip. The pins 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 gets low signal corresponding to the six levels. The IC gets
a low signal and the gives output on the corresponding LED by glowing it.
L.E.D.(Light emitting diode): Light emitting components are the components which
produce light when they are subjected to the an electrical current or voltage.
