Flow sensor is powered with an external 9 volt battery.

Arduino pulse counter water meter.

The pulse output may be a flashing led or a switching relay usually solid state or both. In some cases newer water meters are equipped with a pulse output. The kal d06 series digital pulse counter adds a remote digital display with reset to any mechanical water meter with pulse output. The ethernet connection is used to answer a handful of basic http requests.

Single phase and three phase electrical energy meters gas meters water meters. A log of all water meter activity is saved on the sd card. Order online or call toll free 1 800 899 0553. Use the tcrt5000 ir barrier line track sensor.

It emits an infrared light and detects the reflection. I will explain about it during code explanation. The kal d06 series digital pulse counter adds a remote digital display with reset to any mechanical water meter with pulse output. I bought it in 6 dollars.

In the above circuit i attached the pulse output pin of flow sensor to arduino digital pin 3. In the case of an electricity meter a pulse output corresponds to a defined amount of energy passing through the meter kwh. Many meters have pulse outputs examples include.
