Key benefits - Provides reliable water flow detection for water control systems. - Flexible installation with multiple pipe size options to fit your plumbing. - Wide power compatibility allows easy integration with microcontrollers and controllers. - Hall effect based flow sensing delivers precise measurement and stable performance. - Serves as a liquid sensor switch for automatic flow monitoring and control. Core features - Size: 1/2 inch connection for accurate flow measurement in common small- to mid-size systems. - Pipe diameter options: variants available for 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 2 inch pipes to fit diverse setups. - Power supply: operates from a DC supply of 5 to 18 volts for compatibility with standard electronics. - Technology: hall flow sensor technology for precise and dependable flow readings. - Function: acts as a liquid sensor switch to monitor water flow and support water control applications. Technical notes - This sensor is designed for measuring water flow and providing flow detection signals in water control systems. - It is built to deliver stable performance for accurate detection when integrated with appropriate electronics. Typical applications - Home and garden irrigation systems: monitor flow to verify pump operation and trigger valves or alerts if flow drops unexpectedly. - Water cooling loops for equipment or small machinery: ensure continuous flow and detect anomalies to protect equipment. - Hydroponics or aquaponics systems: confirm continuous water movement to maintain healthy root environments. Use scenarios - Scenario 1: Connect to a microcontroller to detect low flow in a drip irrigation line and automatically shut off a valve to prevent overwatering. - Scenario 2: Integrate into a small electronics cooling loop to monitor sustained water flow and alert if the loop is blocked or the pump stops. - Scenario 3: Install in a hydroponics setup to verify ongoing water movement, helping to maintain nutrient delivery and system balance.
