SX10504: Water Level Detector + Analog I/O

  • Interfaces to Xwire enabled controllers
  • Xwire TTL and RS485 interfaces
  • Five channels of fluid level sensing.
  • Three 10 bit analog inputs.
  • Two 10 bit analog outputs.

The fluid level sensing works on the principle of detecting an electric current flow between two electrodes submersed in the fluid. Hence, it works on electrically conductive fluids such as water, milk, detergent etc. It will not work with non-conductive fluids like ultra-pure water or oils. AC excitation is used to minimise electroplating effects.
