Description

The DFRobot Gravity FS-IR02 sensor operates on a traditional optical principle, using infrared light refraction at the probe tip to detect the presence or absence of liquid. This non-contact method eliminates the need for moving parts, reducing wear and simplifying calibration. The sensor outputs a digital signal that toggles based on the liquid state, making it straightforward to interface with microcontrollers.

Designed for durability, the probe is constructed from materials resistant to corrosion and can withstand operating temperatures from -25°C to 105°C, making it suitable for industrial and harsh environment applications. The included interface adapter board converts the probe’s signal to a standard Gravity 3-pin connector, ensuring seamless integration with DFRobot shields and most common development boards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this DFRobot liquid level sensor?

The sensor is designed to operate at a nominal 5V DC but is fully compatible with 3.3V logic systems, making it suitable for Arduino (5V), Raspberry Pi (3.3V), ESP32, and other common microcontrollers. The interface board ensures proper signal conditioning for both voltage levels.

How do I connect and read data from the FS-IR02 sensor with an Arduino?

Connection is simplified via the Gravity 3-pin interface. Use the provided PH2.0 cable to connect the sensor's adapter board to a digital input pin on your Arduino. The sensor outputs a digital HIGH or LOW signal based on the presence of liquid. No analog reading or complex libraries are required.

What environments can this sensor withstand?

The corrosion-resistant probe is rated for an operating temperature range of -25°C to 105°C and can handle high-pressure conditions. It is suitable for water, oils, and many non-corrosive liquids. Avoid direct sunlight or bright ambient light on the probe tip, as this can interfere with the optical sensing.
