Rain Detector Circuit

This is a circuit for alarm that is sensing the water. This circuit is work with based on 555 astable multi vibrator that is used here which gives a tone of about 1kHz upon detecting water. Here’s the circuit diagram.


It has to placed making an angle of about 30 - 45 degrees to the ground. This makes the rain water to flow through it to the ground and prevents the alarm from going on due to the stored water on the sensor. The metal used to make the sensor has to be aluminum and not copper. This is because copper forms a blue oxide on its layer on prolonged exposure to moisture and has to be cleaned regularly. The aluminum foils may be secured to the wooden / plastic board via epoxy adhesive or small screws.

The contact X and Y from the sensor may be obtained by small crocodile clips or you may use screws.
