Description

The Saier HZ83C Water Flow Sensor employs a precision turbine mechanism to translate fluid velocity into a corresponding digital pulse signal. Each rotation of the internal impeller generates a square wave output, allowing flow rate to be calculated by measuring the pulse frequency. This electromechanical design provides a robust and direct method for liquid flow monitoring.

Engineered for reliability, the sensor features a sealed housing capable of withstanding pressures up to 1.20 MPa and offers high insulation resistance (>100 MΩ). Its wide 4.5-18V DC input range ensures compatibility with various power supplies and logic levels, making it suitable for integration into both 5V and 3.3V microcontroller systems, industrial control panels, and automated fluid management setups.

Key Features

  • Precision turbine sensor mechanism for direct flow rate measurement.
  • Broad compatibility with DC power supplies from 4.5V to 18V.
  • Digital pulse output simplifies integration with counters, timers, and microcontrollers.
  • Robust housing designed for long-term operation in liquid flow lines.
  • High dielectric strength (AC500V, 50Hz) and insulation resistance for electrical safety.
  • Compact and lightweight design facilitates installation in space-constrained applications.
  • Suitable for monitoring clean water and other compatible non-corrosive liquids.

Applications

  • Flow rate monitoring and control in domestic water heaters, coffee machines, and vending machines.
  • Liquid consumption measurement for water dispensers, filtration systems, and smart irrigation controllers.
  • Process flow verification in industrial equipment, chemical dosing systems, and cooling loops.
  • DIY and IoT projects requiring accurate liquid flow data for Arduino or Raspberry Pi-based systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal type of the Saier HZ83C flow sensor?

The HZ83C provides a digital pulse output. The signal swings from a low level of ≤0.5V to a high level of ≥4.5V (when powered by VDD). This square wave signal's frequency is proportional to the flow rate, making it easy to read with a microcontroller's digital input or interrupt pin.

What is the operating voltage range for this sensor?

The sensor has a wide operating voltage range from 4.5V DC to 18V DC. This makes it compatible with common 5V and 12V systems. Ensure your power supply can deliver the required ≤15mA current. The sensor's output high level will be close to the supplied VDD voltage.

How do I calculate the flow rate from the sensor's output?

The flow rate is determined by measuring the frequency of the output pulses. The sensor's datasheet or calibration sheet typically provides a K-factor (pulses per liter). Flow rate (L/min) is calculated as (Pulse Frequency in Hz * 60) / K-factor. You will need to count pulses over a known time period using a microcontroller.

Can this sensor be used with gases or other liquids?

While primarily designed for water, the turbine mechanism can measure flow for other compatible, clean, non-corrosive, and non-abrasive liquids. Use with gases is not recommended without specific calibration and verification, as the sensor's internal mechanics and sealing are optimized for liquid media.

What is the maximum pressure the sensor can handle?

The Saier HZ83C is rated for a maximum working water pressure of 1.20 Megapascals (MPa), which is approximately 174 psi. Do not exceed this pressure rating to avoid damaging the sensor housing or internal components and to ensure measurement accuracy.
