Description

The FS400A water flow sensor operates on a Hall-effect principle. Water flow drives a magnetic rotor assembly; as the rotor speed varies with flow rate, an integrated Hall sensor generates corresponding digital pulse signals. This pulse-frequency output provides a direct, linear relationship to volumetric flow, enabling precise measurement and control.

Engineered for durability in water applications, the sensor features a stainless steel bearing and ball assembly for smooth, low-friction rotation and enhanced sensitivity. The Hall element is epoxy-encapsulated and isolated from the water path, ensuring long-term reliability and protection against oxidation. The construction complies with ROHS standards, making it suitable for various residential and light industrial water monitoring systems.

Key Features

  • Hall-effect digital pulse output for easy interfacing with counters and microcontrollers.
  • Stainless steel bearing with embedded ball design ensures smooth rotation and high rotational sensitivity.
  • Epoxy-encapsulated, water-isolated Hall element provides robust protection against moisture and oxidation.
  • Upper and lower force sealing ring structure resists leaks from thermal expansion and contraction.
  • ROHS-compliant materials ensure environmental safety and durability.
  • Compact and lightweight plastic housing with 1" threads simplifies installation.
  • Wide operational tolerance from 0 to 80°C and 35-90% relative humidity.

Applications

  • Inline water flow monitoring and measurement in residential water heaters and boilers.
  • Flow rate feedback for irrigation system control and dosing pumps in agricultural setups.
  • Liquid consumption tracking and leak detection in DIY smart home and IoT projects.
  • Process water flow verification in light industrial and laboratory equipment.
  • Coolant flow monitoring in CNC machines and 3D printer cooling systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the FS400A flow sensor and how do I interface it?

The FS400A outputs a digital pulse signal. The pulse frequency is proportional to the flow rate. You can connect the signal wire to a digital input pin on a microcontroller (like an Arduino) and use an interrupt or polling routine to count pulses over time to calculate the flow rate in L/min.

What is the operating voltage range and how do I power this sensor?

The sensor operates from 3.5 to 12 volts DC. You can power it directly from a microcontroller's 5V pin, a regulated 12V supply, or any voltage within this range. Ensure your power source can provide stable voltage, as fluctuations may affect the Hall sensor's output consistency.

What are the installation requirements and pressure limits?

Install the sensor inline using its 1-inch (24.5mm) threaded ports. Ensure the flow direction matches the marked arrow on the body. The maximum allowable water pressure is 1.75 MPa. For systems with poor water quality, installing an upstream filter is recommended to prevent debris from damaging the internal rotor.
