4. Setup jeung Instalasi
4.1 Pancegahan Kasalametan
- Ensure the water supply is turned off before installation to prevent leaks.
- Pariksa yén vol operasitage (DC 3-24V) matches your power source to avoid damage.
- Do not exceed the maximum water pressure of 1.75 Mpa.
- Handle wiring carefully to prevent short circuits.
4.2 Pamasangan mékanis
- Pilih Lokasi: Choose a section of the water pipe where the sensor can be easily integrated. Ensure there is sufficient space for the sensor and its connections.
- Nyiapkeun Pipa: Turn off the main water supply. Cut the pipe at the desired installation point.
- Orient Sensor: Observe the arrow on the bottom of the sensor (refer to Figure 3). This arrow indicates the direction of water flow. Install the sensor so that the arrow aligns with the intended flow direction in your pipe system.
- Connect to Pipe: Use appropriate G1/2" fittings (not included) to connect the sensor into the water line. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks. Thread sealant tape (PTFE tape) is recommended for a secure, watertight seal.
- Mulangkeun suplai cai: Slowly turn on the water supply and check for any leaks around the sensor connections.
4.3 Sambungan Listrik
The sensor comes with a 1.2m cable with three wires. Connect these wires to your control system (e.g., microcontroller, PLC) as follows:
- Kawat beureum: Connect to VCC (+) (DC 3-24V power supply).
- Kawat Hideung: Connect to GND (-) (Ground).
- Kawat konéng: Connect to Signal Output (Pulse signal).
Ensure all electrical connections are secure and insulated to prevent electrical hazards.
5. Parentah Operasi
Once installed and connected, the sensor will output a square wave pulse signal on the yellow wire. The frequency of this pulse is directly proportional to the water flow rate.
5.1 Flow Rate Calculation
The relationship between the output pulse frequency (F) and the water flow rate (Q) is given by the formula:
F = 7.5 * Q
dimana:
- F = Frequency in Hertz (Hz), measured from the yellow signal wire.
- Q = Flow rate in Liters per Minute (L/Min).
To calculate the flow rate (Q) from the measured frequency (F), use the rearranged formula:
Q = F / 7.5
Pikeun example, if your control system measures a pulse frequency of 75 Hz, the flow rate would be 75 / 7.5 = 10 L/Min.
5.2 Integration with Microcontrollers
The pulse signal can be read by microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi) using an interrupt pin or by polling a digital input. The microcontroller can then calculate the flow rate and display it, log it, or use it for control purposes.
6. Pangropéa
The DIGITEN water flow sensor is designed for low maintenance. However, periodic checks can ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Inspeksi bocor: Regularly check all pipe connections for any signs of water leakage. Tighten fittings if necessary.
- Cek Uing: If flow readings become erratic or stop, inspect the sensor for any debris or blockages that might impede the internal rotor. If necessary, disconnect the sensor (after turning off water supply) and carefully clean it.
- Sambungan listrik: Periodically inspect the wiring for any signs of wear, corrosion, or loose connections.
- Kaayaan Lingkungan: Ensure the sensor operates within its specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent damage.
