Arduino Pulse Counter Water Meter

The kal d06 series digital pulse counter adds a remote digital display with reset to any mechanical water meter with pulse output.

Arduino pulse counter water meter.

In some cases newer water meters are equipped with a pulse output. However if you have an older power meter without a pulse output then you might be able to use one of the options below to sense your water consumption. Use the tcrt5000 ir barrier line track sensor. The kal d06 series digital pulse counter adds a remote digital display with reset to any mechanical water meter with pulse output.

Flow sensor is powered with an external 9 volt battery. Order online or call toll free 1 800 899 0553. Digital pin 3 of arduino is configured as interrupt pin. Best live chat.

Water flow meter which i used in the project is from aliexpress. A log of all water meter activity is saved on the sd card. In the above circuit i attached the pulse output pin of flow sensor to arduino digital pin 3. The pulse output may be a flashing led or a switching relay usually solid state or both.

Many meters have pulse outputs examples include. Using an sd card and an ethernet connection together has proven challenging both use an spi connection until i used the w5100 chip based ethernet shield with an integrated sd card. Single phase and three phase electrical energy meters gas meters water meters. It emits an infrared light and detects the reflection.

In the case of an electricity meter a pulse output corresponds to a defined amount of energy passing through the meter kwh. I bought it in 6 dollars. Donate to support open hardware.
