Water

Level
Indicator
 A water level
indicator is a
Introdu system that relays

ction
information back to
a control panel to
indicate whether a
body of water has a
high or low water
level.
 • When water level
increases and touches

LED will glow

indicating that there
is water within the
tank.
ods:
• As the water level
continues to rise and
reaches 75% of the
tank, a blue LED will
g l o w.
• As the water level
continues to rise and
reaches half the tank,
a green LED will
g l o w.
• When the water in the
tank rises to full an
alarm is made by the
buzzer and a red LED
lights up as an
indication that the
tank is full.
