This document presents a student project on an automatic water pump switcher. The project uses a NE555 timer IC, relay, transistor, and sensors to automatically switch a water pump on and off based on the water level in a tank. When the water level drops, the pump turns on, and when the level rises, the pump turns off, thus saving water and energy while increasing the life of the pump. The system was designed and built by students for their college project.

ABSTRACT
People generally worry about the wastage of water,
when they switch ON the motor and forget to OFF
them. It could automatically switch ON and OFF of the
domestic water pump set based on the water level of
the tank.
The main control stage of the circuit is an NE 555 IC;
here we have manipulated the flip-flop within chip
555.
Our idea may help them in saving water for future.
INTRODUCTION
Our project mainly consist of a 555 timer, a 6v relay,
230v a.c motor and wires which acts as a sensor.
It includes two water level sensors, one particular
attached at the top and other towards at the bottom.
All these mentioned components take an active role
in switching ON and OFF of the motor.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
HOW DOES IT WORK
 We know the property of 555 timer IC, i.e. its output
goes HIGH when voltage at the second pin (trigger pin)
is less than 1/3 Vcc.
 Also we can reset back the IC by applying a LOW
voltage at the 4th pin (reset pin).
 In the circuit, three wires are dipped in water tank. Let
us define two water levels-Bottom (low) level and top
(up) level. One of the wire or probe is from.
 The probe from bottom level is connected to the
trigger (2nd) pin of 555 IC. So the voltage at 2 nd pin is
Vcc when it is covered by water.
.


When water level goes down, the 2nd pin gets
disconnected(untouched) from water i.e. voltage at the trigger
pin becomes less than Vcc. Then the output of 555 becomes
high.

While the water level rises, the top level probe is covered by
water and the transistor becomes ON. Its collector voltage goes
to Vce=0.2.

The low voltage at the fourth pin resets the IC. So the output of
555 becomes a volt. Hence the motor will turn of automatically.

For simple demonstration of this project we can use a DC motor
directly at the output of 555 instead of relay.

For practical implementation we must use a relay. Rating of
relay is chosen according to the load(motor). 32A relay is best
suited for domestic applications.

RELAY
 The input section has a coil which generates magnetic field when a
small voltage from an electronic circuit is applied to it. This voltage is
called the operating voltage. Commonly used relays are available in
different configurations of operating voltages like 6V, 9V, 12V etc. In a
basic relay there are 3 contactors: normally open (NO), normally closed
(NC) and common (COM). At no input state, the COM is connected to
NC. When the operating voltage is applied the relay coil gets energized
and the COM changes contact to NO.
TRANSISTOR
 BC 547 is an NPN bi-polar junction transistor. A transistor, stands for
transfer of resistance, is commonly used to amplify current. A small
current at its base controls a larger current at collector & emitter
terminals.
 BC 547 is mainly used for amplification and switching purposes. It has
maximum current gain of 800. Its equivalent transistors are BC548 &
BC549.
ADVANTAGES:
 Low maintenance
 Compact and good design
 Fully automatic
 Save water & energy
 Increase pump life
APPLICATIONS:
 It is used for all household purposes.
 It can be used in commercial centers.
 It will be very much useful to farmers to store large
amount of water.
 It can be used in all places to control water level.
PROJECT RESULT:
CONCLUSION:
 This project overcomes the human effort to
fill the tank.
 It is economical and environmental friendly.
 Further implementation results in time and
water saving.
