Description

The Saier SEN-HZ06K utilizes a precision turbine mechanism to translate fluid velocity into a measurable electrical signal. As liquid passes through the sensor body, it spins an internal rotor, generating a corresponding pulse frequency or analog voltage output proportional to the flow rate. This reliable mechanical principle ensures consistent performance for water and compatible low-viscosity liquids.

Engineered for system integration, the sensor features a wide 4.5–18V DC input range, making it compatible with 5V and 12V logic systems common in automation and IoT projects. Its robust housing and internal components are designed to withstand continuous operation at pressures up to 1.20 MPa, providing long-term durability in demanding applications.

Key Features

  • Precision turbine flow sensor with a measurement range of 0.5 to 4.5 liters per minute.
  • Wide 4.5–18V DC operating voltage for compatibility with 5V and 12V logic systems.
  • Dual-output capability: provides both analog voltage and digital pulse signals for flexible interfacing.
  • High insulation resistance (>100 MΩ) and dielectric strength (AC500V, 50Hz) for electrical safety.
  • Compact and lightweight design for easy installation in piping systems and tight spaces.
  • Durable construction suitable for long-term use in water-based applications.
  • Low power consumption with an input current of ≤15 mA.

Applications

  • Precise flow monitoring in water dispensers, coffee machines, and vending machines.
  • Residential water usage tracking and smart home automation systems.
  • Liquid flow rate measurement in laboratory equipment and medical testing devices.
  • Irrigation control and nutrient dosing systems in agricultural and hydroponic setups.
  • Coolant flow monitoring in industrial machinery and process control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the SEN-HZ06K flow sensor?

The sensor operates on a wide DC voltage range from 4.5V to 18V. This makes it directly compatible with common 5V microcontroller systems (like Arduino) and 12V industrial or automotive power supplies without requiring a voltage regulator.

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

You can interface it using its digital pulse output. Connect the signal wire to a digital input pin on your microcontroller. The sensor outputs a pulse frequency proportional to the flow rate, which you can count using an interrupt or pulseIn() function. For analog output, connect the signal wire to an ADC pin to read a voltage proportional to flow.

What liquids can this flow sensor measure?

It is primarily designed for water and other low-viscosity, non-corrosive liquids. The manufacturer notes it can also handle gases, but for optimal accuracy and longevity, it is best used with clean liquids compatible with its internal plastic and metal components. Avoid corrosive or abrasive fluids.

What is the accuracy and how do I calibrate it?

The sensor has a stated accuracy of 5–8% across its 0.5–4.5 L/min range. For precise measurement, user calibration is recommended. Measure a known volume of liquid passed through the sensor, count the pulses generated, and calculate a pulses-per-liter factor to use in your code for converting pulse count to flow rate.

What are the physical dimensions and installation requirements?

The sensor body measures approximately 10 x 8 x 3 cm. It features standard G1/2" or similar threaded ports for inline installation in a piping system. Ensure the flow direction matches the arrow marked on the sensor body and that the working pressure does not exceed 1.20 MPa (≈174 psi) to prevent damage.
