Contact Multi-point Photoelectric Liquid Level Sensor SKU: CQRSENYW003
Contents
Description
Contact Multi-point Liquid Level Sensor, This is a photoelectric water liquid level sensor that is operates using optical principles. Open collector output mode, suitable for connecting various circuits and product applications.
The sensor has no mechanical parts, requires no additional adjustment, and has high sensitivity, low power consumption, corrosion resistance, high pressure resistance, high temperature resistance and chemical stability.
This sensor probe is small in size and has a structure that can be placed up, down, laterally, and diagonally in multiple orientations to detect solution spillage, dryness and horizontal level. Can be used as a reminder and alarm function.
The multi-point liquid level sensor can detect 4 liquid levels with a detection accuracy of up to ±1 mm, high reliability and ultra-low standby power consumption.
Compatible with Arduino motherboard and Raspberry Pi motherboard. for Automatic Irrigation Systems, Aquariums, Plants, in The Garden, in Agriculture etc.
Note: Avoid placing the sensor near bright lights or in direct sunlight as these can cause interference.

Arduino Example and Test Code
1. Arduino Connection Method
2. Sample Code
long time1, time2, time3;
float Frequency;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600); //Initialize the serial port
pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP); //Set D2 to pull up
attachInterrupt(0, Blink, FALLING); //Set interrupt 0 (UNO digital D2)
}
void loop()
{
//Print frequency value through serial port
Serial.print("Frequency=");
Serial.println(Frequency + String(" HZ"));
delay(100);
}
//Interrupt function
void Blink()
{
time1 = time2;
time2 = micros();
time3 = time2 - time1;
Frequency = 1000000.0 / time3;
}
3. Example
Upload the program to the Arduino UNO board and connect the wires correctly. Open the serial port and set the baud rate to 9600. When the sensor is not in contact with liquid, the serial port prints Frequency = 20 HZ; when the water level is at Level-4 (1) in the figure below, the serial port prints Frequency = 50 HZ; when the water level is at Level-3 (2) in the figure below, the serial port prints Frequency = 100 HZ; when the water level is at Level-2 (3) in the figure below, the serial port prints Frequency = 200 HZ; when the water level is at Level-1 (4) in the figure below, the serial port prints Frequency = 400 HZ.
