Description

1-161.jpg

This is a water flow sensor. The VCC is 5V. When the water flows through it, the output signal, which is an anlog signal, is proportional to the velocity of the flow. The latest Water Flow Sensor, mainly by the plastic valve body, Flow of rotor components and hall Sensor. The sensor is applied in water flow measurement and control system, such as installed in the inlet water heater. Working principle: when the water through flow rotor components, magnetic rotor rotation and speed changes with the flow, hall sensor output pulse signal, feedback to the controller, the controller to judge the size of the water flow, adjust and control. Water Flow Sensor Compared with similar foreign products have the characteristic:

  • 1.The appearance is light and agile, small size, easy to install.
  • 2.Permanent impeller with stainless steel bead, wear-resisting.
  • 3.Sealing ring adopts the structure of the upper and lower stress will never leak.
  • 4.Hall element with German imports.And encapsulated with pouring sealant to prevent water, never aging.
  • 5.All the raw materials are all in accord with ROHS testing standards.
  • 6.Suitable for all kinds of controllers and development board, such as: the Arduino controller, on STC microcontroller, AVR microcontroller, etc

We use the Arduino controller to do a test, which need the hardware equipment as follows:

  • 1. Arduino controller × 1
  • 2. Arduino sensor expansion board × 1
  • 3. Water Flow Sensor×1
  • 4. RS360 gear self-priming DC small water pump × 1
  • 5. relay module× 1
  • 6. large button module × 1
  • 7. Serial LCD1602×1
  • 8. ACE lithium polymer battery × 1
  • 9. 3P sensor connector cable × 2
  • 10. Water Flow Sensor connector adapter cable × 1
  • 11. alligator clip -JST battery cable × 1
  • 12. the water pump inlet pipe × 1
  • 13. Water inlet transfer tube for Water pump outlet-Water Flow Sensor (self-made, the actually should be connected DN20)
  • 14. Water Flow Sensor Water Flow Sensor pipes (self-made, the actually should be connected DN20)
  • 15. power adapter × 1

Electrical connection diagram is as follows: Specific connection sequence: Connect the Water Flow Sensor to the digital port 2 of sensor expansion board, connect the relay to digital port 3 of sensor expansion board (connect the other end to the power line), connect the large button to the digital port 4, connect serial 1602 LCD to COM port, other devices are connected according to drawing. (Note: When using sensor line, DuPont line, please pay attention to the corresponding connecting, otherwise need to bear’s the concequence). After the hardware connection is completed,after the code is compiled in,download to Arduino.
