## Description

A photoelectric liquid level sensor that uses optical principles to detect the presence or absence of liquid. With no moving parts, it requires minimal calibration and offers high sensitivity and long service life. The corrosion-resistant polycarbonate probe handles temperatures from −25 °C to 105 °C. Equipped with a DFRobot Gravity interface adapter, the sensor connects directly to Arduino boards via a Gravity-compatible shield. It also operates at 3.3 V for compatibility with Raspberry Pi and other 3.3 V microcontrollers. Key Features Photoelectric Detection – No mechanical parts, minimal calibration needed High Accuracy – ±0.5 mm liquid level detection Wide Temperature Range – −25 °C to 105 °C operating range Corrosion Resistant – Polycarbonate (PC) construction Gravity Interface – Plug-and-play with Arduino Gravity shields 3.3 V / 5 V Compatible – Works with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other boards Long Life – Rated for 50 000 hours Specifications Model – FS-IR02 Operating Voltage – 5 V DC (also works at 3.3 V) Output Current – 12 mA Low Level Output – < 0.1 V High Level Output – > 4.6 V Detection Accuracy – ±0.5 mm Dimensions – 28 × 28 mm Cable Length – 450 mm Weight – 26 g Ideal For Water level monitoring in tanks and reservoirs Overflow and dry-run protection systems Aquaponics and hydroponics automation Arduino and Raspberry Pi liquid sensing projects Package Contents 1× FS-IR02 Liquid Level Sensor Probe 1× Gravity Interface Convert Board Note: Avoid placing the sensor near bright lights or in direct sunlight, as these can cause interference with the photoelectric detection.
