Tutorial: How to use Water Flow Sensor DC4.5

The G1/2 DN15 water flow sensor is ideal for monitoring water flow in domestic or industrial systems. This device can be used by enthusiasts and professionals who want to measure the amount of water passing through a pipe.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• G1/2 pipe connectors
• Power cable

Steps

1. Attach the sensor to the pipe using the G1/2 connectors.
2. Check the sensor’s operating voltage (4.5V – 24V) and connect the correct power supply.
3. Connect the sensor’s output pins to the Arduino microcontroller.
4. Download the provided source code in the tutorial to your Arduino Uno.
5. Open the Serial Monitor section in the Arduino IDE to view the flow data received from the sensor.

7. Verify that the sensor is functioning correctly by monitoring the output on the Serial Monitor.
8. If necessary, install additional libraries for advanced use of the sensor.

Example code

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  // Leggi il valore dal sensore e invialo via serial
  int flusso = analogRead(A0); 
  Serial.println(flusso);
}

Mini project

Build a water consumption monitoring system that sends alerts when it exceeds a certain threshold.

Common mistakes

• Connect the sensor with an incompatible voltage.
• Incorrectly connect the sensor to the pipe, causing data loss.
• Ignore serial monitor value verification to optimize device settings.
• Use an incompatible measurement unit without converting the received data.

Recommended accessories
