Experiment No. 1

Level Sensor

Name: Francia, Ma. Gracia C. Section: CHE41S1

Date Performed: February 8, 2024 Date Submitted: February 22, 2024

Instructor: Engr. Efren Chavez

1. Objective(s):
The activity aims to introduce the characteristic of the differential transformer as position transducer.

2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):

The students shall be able to:


1. Explain the relationship between the level and the voltage being supplied.
3. Discussion:

The height as a liquid above a reference line, usually the base, is known as its level. Knowing the
dimensions of a container we can determine the volume or the mass of its contents by measuring the
level. Hence the vessel content may be expressed in the following ways.

Unit of level: meter or feet


Unit of volume: litres or gallons
Unit of mass: kilograms or pounds

4. Resources:

DL2314
Digital Multimeter
Set of Leads
5. Procedure:
1. Connect, through leads, bush N°1 of the Level Sensor to bush N°1 of the
correspondent interface and bush N°2 to bush N°2.
2. Insert a terminal of the digital voltmeter, set in dc, in bush N°13 of the Level interface
and the other one in the earth bush.
3. Connect bush N°18 of the LINEAR DRIVER to the bush of SET POINT 1, bush N°19 to
bush N°19 and bush N°20 to bush N°20.
4. Press the main switch (ON).
5. Start the pump regulating the voltage on SET POINT 1 and bring the level of the water in
the PROCESS TANK to 10 cm.
6. Once reached the level, stop the pump setting to 0 V the voltage value of SET POINT 1
7. Gradually decrease the level of the water in the tank by turning counter-clockwise the
knob NEEDLE VALVE and/or the knob DRAIN VALVE, back to 0 cm.
8. Verify that the voltage value, read on the voltmeter, corresponds to 0 V, otherwise
regulate the OFFSET trimmer until you obtain the desired value: in this way you have
fixed the minimum working point of the Level Sensor.
9. Starting the pump, increase the level of the water to 10 cm.
10. Stop the pump and verify that the voltage value corresponds to 10 V, otherwise
regulate the GAIN trimmer until you obtain the desired value.
11. Verify that the voltage and level values are correct by repeating the steps from step N°7.

12. Slowly drain the tank until you reach all the level values and write down, for each level value, the
corresponding voltage value.
13. Put OFF the main switch.
14. Remove all the connections.
15. Represent the characteristic of the level sensor.
6. Data and Results:
