Gravity Non-contact Digital Water/Liquid Level Sensor for Arduino

The sensor detects the level of a liquid without contact through the wall of the container, measuring capacitively. This makes it suitable for toxic substances, strong acids and alkalis in closed containers, also under pressure. Metal containers are not suitable. The sensor connects to the Gravity interface via the adapter board.

Note: The connection cable can be converted to male pins with a Dupont cable M-M, so that it also fits an Arduino UNO.

Recommended Accessories:

• Dupont Cables M-M 10cm 20 Pieces

Features:

• Contactless detection through the container wall
