11 +
12 += Flow switch =
13 +
14 +== How it works ==
15 +
16 +Below is an example of flow switch. and product link:

23 +
24 +The switch will switch on/off to show if the water / liquid has dedicate level.
25 +
26 +
27 +To use such switch with Dragino Products, use can connect it to LSN50v2 use the same way as a door switch. See reference link:

30 +
31 +
32 +== Advantage & Disadvantage ==
33 +
34 +**Advantage** : Reliable , Easy to install & Immue to different environment.
35 +
36 +**Disadvantage**: Only be able to detect one speicify level. Not able to detect full range of water.
37 +
38 +
39 +
40 +
41 += Ultrasonic Sensor =
42 +
43 +== How it works? ==
44 +
45 +Such as [[LDDS75>>https://www.dragino.com/products/distance-level-sensor/item/161-ldds75.html]] / [[LDDS45>>https://www.dragino.com/products/distance-level-sensor/item/191-ldds45.html]]. They are using ultrasonic technologic to detect the distance between the probe and a flat object such as water level.
46 +
47 +Below is photo and URL shows how Ultrasonic Sensor works to detect Water Level
48 +
49 +[[https:~~/~~/www.electricalvolt.com/2022/06/ultrasonic-level-transmitter-working/ >>https://www.electricalvolt.com/2022/06/ultrasonic-level-transmitter-working/]]

51 +[[image:image-20221217170756-1.png||height="465" width="539"]]
52 +
53 +
54 +When choose the ultrasonic sensor, we need to check the measure range , blind spot and angel to fit the tank.
55 +
56 +An important notice, if there are moisture accumulated in the sense area of Ultrasonic Probe of LDDS75/LDDS45. the reading will become invalid.
57 +
58 +
59 +== Advantage & Disadvantage ==
60 +
61 +**Advantage** : Able to detect the level. Good Accurancy.
62 +
63 +**Disadvanage**: Wrong reading when probe is block by moisture or other stuff. Affect by temperature.
