Water Flow Sensor YFS401 Flowmeter 0.3-6L/min | Water Flow Transmitter

The Water Flow Sensor YFS401 Flowmeter 0.3-6L/min3.5mm White is designed to accurately measure the rate of liquid flowing through it. This precise measurement device integrates seamlessly with various applications, offering you the capability to enhance your projects or everyday devices. The sensor comprises a durable plastic valve body, a flow rotor, and a hall effect sensor, allowing it to detect the amount of flow accurately. Utilizing a water flow meter within your system ensures you have precise data on water usage, which is crucial for conserving resources and optimizing performance. When liquid flows through the sensor, the magnetic rotor rotates, and the rate of rotation is proportional to the water flow rate. This sensor outputs a pulse width signal, making it easy to monitor devices like coffee makers or irrigation systems by connecting it to a microcontroller.

This product supports a water flow transmitter system, enhancing the sensor's functionality by permitting accurate and real-time data flow to your central monitoring units. Additionally, this sensor stands unparalleled among water flow gauges due to its accuracy and reliability. Its analog sensor accuracy of up to 5% and waterproof design ensures it operates effectively even under challenging conditions.
