Description

The Saier HZ21FA employs a precision turbine rotor to measure fluid flow. As liquid or gas passes through the sensor body, it spins the turbine, generating a corresponding digital pulse frequency or analog voltage signal proportional to the flow rate. This electromechanical principle ensures stable, repeatable measurements across its specified range.

Designed for integration into control systems, the module features a wide 4.5-18V DC input range, making it compatible with common 5V and 12V industrial logic. Its output options allow direct connection to microcontroller ADCs for analog readings or digital input pins for pulse counting, facilitating easy data acquisition with platforms like Arduino, PLCs, or Raspberry Pi.

Key Features

  • High-precision turbine flow sensor with a measurement range of 1 to 30 liters per minute.
  • Durable, sealed construction suitable for monitoring both liquids and compatible gases.
  • Low-power operation with an input current ≤15mA, ideal for battery-powered monitoring nodes.
  • High insulation resistance (>100 MΩ) and dielectric strength (AC500V, 50Hz) for safe operation in wet environments.
  • Clear digital output signal with high-level voltage ≥4.5V and low-level ≤0.5V for reliable logic-level interfacing.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for industrial process control, irrigation systems, and smart appliance integration.

Applications

  • Industrial coolant or lubricant flow monitoring in CNC machinery and production lines.
  • Precise water flow measurement in smart irrigation systems and hydroponic setups.
  • Liquid consumption tracking for appliance diagnostics in washing machines or water dispensers.
  • Process control and dosing system feedback in chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturing.
  • IoT-based leak detection and water management in smart home and building automation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal type of the HZ21FA flow sensor?

The HZ21FA provides flexible output options. It generates a digital pulse signal whose frequency is proportional to the flow rate, suitable for microcontroller interrupt or counter pins. It also provides an analog voltage output that varies with flow, which can be read directly by an ADC on an Arduino or PLC for continuous measurement.

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

The sensor operates from a wide DC voltage range of 4.5V to 18V. You can power it directly from a 5V Arduino pin, a regulated 12V supply common in industrial settings, or any stable DC source within this range. Ensure your power supply can deliver the required ≤15mA current.

Can this sensor be used with gases, or only liquids?

While primarily designed for water and similar liquids, the manufacturer specifies compatibility with certain gases. For gas applications, ensure the gas is clean, dry, and non-corrosive to the internal turbine components, and verify that the flow rates fall within the 1-30 L/min range for accurate measurement.

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

For digital interfacing, connect the signal wire to a digital input pin on your microcontroller. Use the `pulseIn()` function on Arduino or interrupt-driven libraries on Raspberry Pi to measure the pulse frequency and calculate flow. For analog interfacing, connect the output to an analog input pin (ADC) and map the voltage reading to the flow rate using the provided calibration data.

What is the maximum pressure the sensor can withstand?

The sensor is rated for a maximum working water pressure of ≤1.75 Megapascals (MPa), which is approximately 250 pounds per square inch (psi). Do not exceed this pressure rating to avoid damaging the internal turbine mechanism or compromising the sensor's housing seals.
