 Wireless
Flow Sensor System
This wireless flow sensor system includes the
flow sensor, RF transmitter and RF receiver. Installation no
longer requires expensive trenching, drilling, or digging to
install power or I/O wiring. The self powered flow sensor / transmitter
unit performs flow measurement and scaling. The unit transmits
a total flow value via an RF transmitter.
The total flow value is received approximately every 4 seconds. A
pulse output can then be programmed for different volume units and
pulse widths additionally a frequency output can be generated that
looks similar to our standard wires sensors.
228PV Wireless Flow Sensor
The four-bladed impeller design is rugged, non-fouling and does not
require custom calibration. Coupled with the proprietary patented
digital detection circuit, the sensor measures flow rate from 1fps
to over 20fps regardless of conductivity or turbidity of the liquid.
The flow sensor generates a frequency which is proportional to flow
rate.
 An
integral micro controller computes the impeller frequency using the
appropriate K factor and Offset values which is then translated to
flow rate. By means of integration, the volume total is calculated.
The output signal is a scaled output pulse that can be scaled for
various units and pulse widths. An internal lithium battery provides
power for the flow sensor/transmitter.
Wireless ORION RF Transmitter
The ORION® transmitter operates at approximately 900MHz at a power
level which requires no F.C.C. licensing. The transmitter is powered
using an internal lithium battery and is encapsulated to ensure moisture
resistance.
 Wireless
ORION RF Receiver
The ORION receiver is powered using an external AC or DC power supply.
The wireless receiver receives the scaled total from the transmitter.
Further scaling and unit conversion can be programmed into the receiver.
The optically coupled scaled pulse output emulates a dry contact
closure to ensure interfacing into various types of controller inputs.
• Antenna options include BNC cables,
BNC feed through headers, and BNC right angle adapters.
