1.Introduce
The SAIER Passive Water Flow Sensors employs advanced Wiegand sensor technology, leveraging a dual magnetic pole triggering mechanism to detect water flow. As water passes through the flow meter, the sensor is activated to generate and output electrical signals. The frequency or pulse count of these signals is directly proportional to the water flow rate, enabling highly accurate measurement and recording of actual water consumption.
The key benefit of this design is its “passive” operation—meaning it can function reliably without any external power supply. This simplifies installation and maintenance, eliminating the need for additional wiring or power sources. It also allows for real-time water flow monitoring, providing precise data for end-users and water management systems. This makes it an ideal solution for smart water management, energy-saving bathrooms, and high-reliability metering applications.

4.Why choose a passive water flow sensor?
Passive water flow sensors, such as those utilizing Wiegand technology, offer numerous advantages for water metering and monitoring:
- Self-powered, Zero Energy Consumption: These sensors generate electrical pulses (approximately 10μs) intrinsically from water flow, requiring no batteries or external power sources. This simplifies installation, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures continuous operation without power failures.
- Reliable Performance at All Flow Rates: Signal amplitude is independent of magnetic field change speed, enabling accurate detection even at near-zero flow conditions.
- Easy Integration: The simple signal output can be directly connected to transistors, comparators, A/D converters, and other electronic components, streamlining system integration.
- Support for Remote Monitoring: The generated signals can be transmitted over long distances via signal lines, making them ideal for LAN-based management systems—crucial for smart water networks.
- Safety and Durability: With no mechanical contacts or sparks, these sensors are intrinsically safe, suitable for hazardous environments. Their wide operating temperature and environmental adaptability ensure long-term, stable performance under diverse conditions.
In summary, passive water flow sensors combine efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, making them an optimal choice for modern, smart water management solutions.
