Abstract
Automatic liquid level measuring and monitoring with a wide range applications in various field and industries, such as oil and gas, food and beverage industry, agriculture, as well as household and domestic instrumentation. The construction of an improved remote liquid level measuring and monitoring system, that will be synchronized through wireless radio frequency with python base stand-alone Graphic User Interface (GUI) software programme for an out-station monitoring. Using locally made liquid sensor for level evaluation, microcontroller for the firmware that will control the process, LCD for liquid level display, and Buzzer for alert at critical liquid levels. The enhanced liquid level monitoring system, is designed to monitor discretely the levels of liquid samples of all densities by generating a corresponding electrical resistance signal for levels of the liquid samples in a reservoir. Result obtained from the experimental evaluation of the device shows that increase in the level of water in the reservoir results into a corresponding decrease in the resistivity of the sensor. Values of the electrical signal is then transmitted through wireless radio frequency to a distant end out-station where it is interpreted and displayed on a friendly Graphical User Interface (UI) developed using Python programming language.
