Pulse Water Meter Arduino
Set the pulse factor to the number of revolutions per cubic meters or gallons of water.
Pulse water meter arduino. Set the pulse factor to the number of revolutions per cubic meters or gallons of water. Connect the vcc and gnd of the flow meter to the arduino s vcc and gnd. How to use the water flow sensor with arduino. Yfs201 water flow sensor.
The 5v vcc red wire the gnd black wire and the signal pulse usually yellow line. For this particular project we are going to use the yf s201 water flow sensor which uses a hall effect to sense the flow rate of the liquid. The time between the pulses t low is what indicates the power being measured by the meter. The default frequency 3 times per minute every 20 seconds.
You can also set the frequency that the sensor will report the water consumption by updating the send frequency. For the a100c pulse output meter t high is 50ms. The pulse width t high varies depending on the pulse output meter. Control library for reed switch pulse actuated water meters such as the dae water meter model v 100p support includes gallons litres debounce adjustment conversion and spiffs filesystem power off backup support.
Some pulse output meters allow t high to be set. In this tutorial i am going to teach you about how to use arduino flow meter to measure the amount of water passing through the water valve. There are a few parameters that need to be tuned to your water meter. For this project you will need.
Normally manual water valve are common but digital and autonomous are also present in market. Lcd 16x2 connector with internal threading. Digital valves are used in heavy industries like oil and chemicals. One can control the valve manually and digitally in order to limit the flow of water through the pipe.
Flow meter is actually a valve. Figure 1 illustrates a pulse output. The idea of this project is to use an arduino to count every drop of water that goes through the water company meter. Therefore we can calculate the flow of water by counting the number of square waves pulse.
For every round of the wheel the volume of water flowing through is a certain amount as is the number of square waves output. The pulse line of the flow rate sensor is connected to the arduino s digital pin 2. A100c bs single phase meter. The default frequency 3 times per minute every 20 seconds.
There are a few parameters that need to be tuned to your water meter. You can also set the frequency that the sensor will report the water consumption by updating the send frequency. The arduino s digital pin 2 serves as an external interrupt pin interrupt pin 0.
