Vegetronix AquaPlumb - Tank Water Level Sensors
You will amaze your friends, when they see that you can monitor water level with a strand of common wire. Accurately measure the level of any fluid, including water, salt water, and oils.
Waterproof and Rugged
The rugged weather-proof control box, will give you years of trouble free operation. Mount the box to any surface in minutes, using the mounting holes in the wings on the side of the box.
The sensor wire is made of tough PVC plastic, and is resistant to corrosion over time. It can be trimmed to any length to match the depth of your water tank or reservoir, from 10 cm to 3 meters deep.
Interface Our Sensors to any System
It`s easy to interface the Aquaplumb to other equipment, because it continuously outputs a voltage directly related to the percentage of the cable that is submerged. The output range is 0V to 3V, where 0V is the minimum water level, and 3V is the maximum water level.
Any device which can read a voltage, can read the Aquaplumb water level sensor. This includes devices as simple as volt meters, to more complex data loggers.
Vegetronix Modular Building Blocks
We provide modular building blocks that you need to create your soil moisture application. With these building blocks, you can create systems that will monitor soil moisture, and automatically control watering.
We recommend using our VegeHub WiFi garden sensor hub to read the AquaPlumb, because you can view water level data on your computer or phone web browser, remotely from any where in the world.
We`ve partnered with the sensor cloud site - VegeCloud.com which will graph, store, and manage your water level sensor data.
Low Power for Battery Operation
Your batteries can last for years, because the AquaPlumb is crafted to be lower power. For lowest power operation, only power the sensor right before you take a reading, and then power it down, until the next reading. Our other data logger products do this for you automatically.
The normal operating mode power is only 1.2 mA, so this system can be loop powered in 4-20mA current loops used by PLAs. During calibration mode the sensor uses up to 20mA, but this is only used during calibration for the initial setup.
Bonus Features
The AquaPlumb water level sensor can be adapted to any tank depth with a simple calibration procedure, which is explained below.
For your convenience, the end of the cable has a bob-clamp, which can be mounted to the side of a reservoir, to a small weight, or to a stick, to keep the wire fixed.
When ordering the AquaPlumb sensors, select the length of the power cable in standard 2 meter, 5 meter or 10 meter lengths. The sensing cable comes in the standard lengths of 1 meter and 3 meter lengths. See the ordering table below.
