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. The home for open source hardware. I will explain about it during code explanation. Water flow meter which i used in the project is from aliexpress.

The kal d06 series digital pulse counter adds a remote digital display with reset to any mechanical water meter with pulse output. In the case of an electricity meter a pulse output corresponds to a defined amount of energy passing through the meter kwh. Flow sensor is powered with an external 9 volt battery. 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.

Single phase and three phase electrical energy meters gas meters water meters. Use the tcrt5000 ir barrier line track sensor. The pulse output may be a flashing led or a switching relay usually solid state or both. The ethernet connection is used to answer a handful of basic http requests.

A log of all water meter activity is saved on the sd card. It emits an infrared light and detects the reflection. Digital pin 3 of arduino is configured as interrupt pin. In the above circuit i attached the pulse output pin of flow sensor to arduino digital pin 3.

Many meters have pulse outputs examples include. I bought it in 6 dollars. Order online or call toll free 1 800 899 0553.
