How It Works
The YF-S402 uses a Hall Effect sensor to detect the rotation of an internal rotor as water flows through it. Each complete rotation generates a digital pulse, allowing you to calculate flow rate by counting pulses over time.
Formula: Flow Rate (L/min) = Pulse Frequency (Hz) / Calibration Factor (typically 5.5 Hz per L/min)
Installation Guide
- Prepare Connection - Ensure 1/4" thread compatibility
- Install Sensor - Use thread sealant tape for leak-proof connection
- Connect Output - Attach signal wires to microcontroller input pin
- Power Supply - Typical 5V operation (check datasheet)
- Calibration - Configure pulse-to-flow-rate conversion in your code
