Group No.
MATERIALS USED
(DEFINITION, TYPES FUNCTION & APPLICATION)
 is also called Ultrasonic Sensors which are
a type of acoustic sensors.

ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER
 Transmitters- converts electrical signals into ultrasound
 Receivers- converts ultrasound into electrical signals
 Transceivers- can do both transmission and can receive
ultrasound

TYPES OF ULTRASONIC SENSORS

 Measuring wind speed and  Ultrasonography
direction (anemometer  Burglar alarms
 Tank or channel fluid level  Non-destructive testing
 Speed through air or water  Wireless charging
 Humidifiers
 Sonar
 Medical

APPLICATIONS
 For this project, the ultrasonic transducer is used measure
fluid level by measuring the distance between the surfaces of
the water to the sensor’s designated level.

FUNCTIONALITY OF ULTRASONIC
TRANSDUCER
 A microcontroller based on the ATmega328.
 Arduino UNO ff. specs:
 14 digital input/ output pins (6 PWM Outputs)
 16 MHz ceramic resonator
 ICSP header
 USB connection
 6 analog inputs
 Power jack
 Reset button

ARDUINO UNO
 It serves as the brain of our device for the following reasons
 Program that will activate the Ultrasonic Transducers
 Flood level indicator Formula for the sensors and buzzer.

ARDUINO UNO’S FUNCTION

 a mechanical, electromechanical, magnetic,
electromagnetic, electro-acoustic or piezoelectric
audio signaling device.

BUZZER
 Creates a sound (beeping) if the water reached the flood
limit.

BUZZER’S FUNCTION
 also known as Liquid Crystal Displays. is a type of flat
panel monitor. An LCD screen is created by electric
voltages hitting liquid crystal cells, allowing 64 different
shades per cell.

LCD
 is used as a visual indicator to the percentage level of
the water surface from the ultrasonic transducer. The
maximum threshold is 90%.

LCD’S FUNCTION
 also known as, light-emitting diode, LED is a
semiconductor device that emits visible light when an
electric current passes through it.

LED
 Likewise to the buzzer it will also trigger of the threshold is
reached; LED’s will blink alternately flood level limit is reached.

LED’S FUNCTION
SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
IN THE MAKING
 The flood-level indicator’s function, as described by its
name, is to sound as an alarm once its sensor detects the
percentage limit 92% via the rising water level from the
container (as seen in the prototype).
 If applied to real-life scenario, this device can be very useful
in structures, especially housing units, located in low-rise
and flood-prone areas.
