The Ultrasonic Water sensor is developed by Sensorfact and comprises a couple of main parts.
- The main housing protects the vulnerable hardware components
- 2 black transducers. 1 UP and 1 DOWN
- 1 Power cable
- Possibly: 2 Red cabled Temperature probes
The main housing is responsible for protecting the hardware components inside. It comprises a power supply, a flow meter with a display, and a pulse counter. The power supply connects with the power cable and provides power to all the components to operate. The flow meter is connected directly to the transducers and acts as the calculating unit. It receives the ultrasonic signal and uses the location's configuration to calculate the amount of water consumption.
The flow meter comes with a display to present the data and allow users to navigate through the settings. The flow meter sends a pulse to our Pulse Counter, which then transmits the data to a nearby bridge for transfer to our software environment. Once the data is in the software, it appears on the dashboard and can be viewed.
If you use Temperature probes, they can be connected to the flow meter. The meter uses the difference between the two probes, along with water consumption, to calculate the calorific value or thermal energy, which is then displayed in our software.
