Series 228PV Wireless Flow Sensor

The four-bladed impeller design is rugged, non-fouling and does not require custom calibration . Coupled with the proprietary
patented digital detection circuit, the sensor measures flow rate from 1 foot per second (fps) to more than 20 fps, regardless
of conductivity or turbidity of the liquid . The flow sensor generates a frequency which is proportional to flow rate . An integral
micro controller measures the impeller frequency and uses the appropriate K factor and Offset values to compute the flow
rate . By means of integration, the volume total is calculated . The output signal to the RF transmitter is a scaled output pulse .
An internal lithium battery provides power for the flow sensor and is encapsulated to ensure moisture resistance .
Wireless ORION RF Transmitter
The ORION transmitter operates in the 902...928 MHz frequency band at a power level that requires no FCC licensing . The
transmitter is powered using an internal lithium battery and is encapsulated for moisture resistance . It is factory programmed
and requires no configuration .

Wireless ORION RF Receiver

The ORION receiver is powered using an external alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) power supply . The wireless
receiver receives the scaled total from the transmitter . Further scaling and unit conversion can be programmed into the
receiver . The optically coupled scaled pulse output emulates a dry contact closure to ensure interfacing into various types of
controller inputs .
