Description

The AFD2 Series sensor operates on the Von Karman vortex principle, where a bluff body placed in the flow stream generates vortices at a frequency proportional to the flow velocity. This frequency is detected by a piezoelectric sensor, providing a stable and accurate digital signal. The design eliminates mechanical wear, making it ideal for applications with contaminated liquids.

Engineered for industrial and appliance integration, the sensor features a wide input voltage range of 11.4V to 25.2V DC and is built to withstand fluid temperatures from -20°C to 90°C. Its high pollution resistance and durable construction ensure consistent performance in HVAC systems, water treatment, medical equipment, and process control.

Key Features

  • Von Karman vortex shedding technology for precise flow measurement.
  • Solid-state design with no moving parts ensures durability and low maintenance.
  • High resistance to pollution and particulate matter in the fluid stream.
  • Dual communication outputs: RS485 Modbus protocol and configurable analog signal.
  • Broad measurement range suitable for low to medium flow rate applications.
  • Wide operating temperature and voltage range for robust environmental performance.
  • Multiple pipe fitting sizes (DN6, DN10, DN20, DN25) for flexible installation.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for industrial and commercial applications.

Applications

  • Flow monitoring and control in industrial water treatment and chemical processing systems.
  • Liquid dispensing and dosing accuracy in medical equipment and laboratory analyzers.
  • HVAC system efficiency monitoring for chilled water and heating fluid loops.
  • Process control and leak detection in appliance manufacturing (e.g., coffee machines, dishwashers).
  • Irrigation system flow measurement and management in agricultural automation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the AFD2 flow sensor?

The AFD2 sensor operates from a wide DC voltage range of 11.4V to 25.2V. This makes it compatible with standard 12V and 24V industrial power supplies, ensuring stable performance even with typical line voltage fluctuations.

How do I communicate with the sensor? Does it require calibration?

The sensor provides two output options: an RS485 interface using the Modbus RTU protocol for digital communication with PLCs or PCs, and an analog voltage or current signal (configurable). Factory calibration is typically provided, but zero-point adjustment can be performed via the RS485 interface if needed for specific installation conditions.

What fluids and temperatures is this sensor suitable for?

The AFD2 is designed for clean liquids like water, glycol mixtures, and light oils. It can handle fluid temperatures from -20°C to 90°C. For applications near or below freezing with water, using an antifreeze mixture is recommended to prevent damage.
