Description

The Saier HZ21WI Water Flow Sensor employs a reliable turbine mechanism to translate fluid velocity into a measurable electrical signal. As liquid flows through the sensor body, it spins an internal impeller, generating a pulse frequency or analog voltage proportional to the flow rate. This principle ensures consistent and repeatable measurements suitable for monitoring and control applications.

Built for durability, the sensor features a robust housing capable of withstanding pressures up to 1.75 MPa, making it suitable for various plumbing and industrial fluid systems. Its wide 4.5-18V DC input range allows compatibility with 5V and 12V logic systems common in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and industrial PLC environments. The sensor outputs a clean signal with high-level voltage ≥4.5V and low-level ≤0.5V, ensuring reliable digital interfacing.

Key Features

  • Turbine sensor technology provides reliable and direct flow measurement.
  • Broad flow measurement range from 1 to 30 liters per minute.
  • High-voltage insulation resistance (>100 MΩ) and dielectric strength (AC500V, 50Hz) for electrical safety.
  • Low power consumption with input current ≤15 mA for energy-efficient operation.
  • Durable construction designed for long-term use in both liquid and compatible gas monitoring applications.
  • Flexible output configuration supports both analog voltage and digital pulse frequency readings.
  • Compact form factor enables installation in space-constrained environments.

Applications

  • Residential and commercial water usage monitoring and smart metering systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the Saier HZ21WI sensor?

The sensor operates from a wide DC voltage range of 4.5 to 18 volts. This makes it compatible with common 5V microcontroller systems like Arduino, as well as 12V industrial or automotive power supplies, providing significant flexibility for various project setups.

How do I interface the sensor with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

For digital interfacing, connect the sensor's signal output to a digital input pin on your microcontroller. The output is a pulse frequency proportional to flow rate, which can be counted using interrupt or polling routines. For analog output, connect to an ADC pin. Ensure your code converts the frequency or voltage to a flow rate using the sensor's calibration data.

Can this sensor be used for gases or only liquids?

While primarily designed for water and similar liquids, the turbine mechanism is also suitable for compatible, non-corrosive gases. However, accuracy and the flow rate range (1-30 L/min) are specified for liquids. For gas applications, specific calibration may be required, and performance should be validated for the target gas density and viscosity.

What is the accuracy and maximum pressure rating?

The sensor provides a measurement accuracy of ±10% across its specified flow range. It is built to withstand a maximum working water pressure of up to 1.75 Megapascals (MPa), which equates to approximately 254 psi, making it robust for many residential and light industrial plumbing systems.
