## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SEN0485:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SEN0485:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

#### Introduction

This small 5V non-contact liquid level sensor with Gravity Interface is able to detect 0-100°C conductive liquid levels in non-metallic containers in sensing range of 3mm. Provided with digital quantity output(low), the sensor can be directly used on Arduino UNO for liquid level detection of the water tank, beverage machine, water pipe, scientific experiment test tube, etc.

With IP67 protection level, the module employs an integrated seamless shell and fully enclosed waterproof glue encapsulation process to block the intrusion of dust and protect internal electric components. Besides, the sensor cable, with great electrical conductivity, is flexible, durable, waterproof, and oil-proof.
