Blind Contact Water-Level Alarm
Drawing preview
The scenario

A blind person fills a cup and needs an audible signal when liquid reaches the desired level, using two probe contacts that close through the water.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Used an NPN transistor as a low-side switch triggered by water contact across probe gaps

02

Added a base pulldown resistor to keep the buzzer off when probes are dry

03

Included a flyback diode across the piezo buzzer to protect the transistor

Reuse for any conductive liquid level detection where a battery-powered audible or vibration alert is needed.
