Description
YF-S201 Water Flow Measurement Sensor with 1-30Liter/min Flow Rate
This is YF-S201 Water Flow Measurement Sensor with 1-30Liter/min Flow Rate – Black. This sensor sits in line with your water line and contains a pinwheel sensor to measure how much liquid has moved through it. There’s an integrated magnetic hall effect sensor that outputs an electrical pulse with every revolution. The hall effect sensor is sealed from the water pipe and allows the sensor to stay safe and dry.By counting the pulses from the output of the sensor, you can easily calculate water flow. Each pulse is approximately 2.25 millilitres.
Note: this isn’t a precision sensor, and the pulse rate does vary a bit depending on the flow rate, fluid pressure, and sensor orientation. It will need careful calibration if better than 10% precision is required. However, it’s great for basic measurement tasks!

Customer Reviews
The product I received was actually the FL-608 and not the FL-408 as specified in the product information here. It has slightly different stats but so far I am able to read the pulses in my test setup. I have not hooked it up to actual liquid flow yet to calibrate it but I believe it will work well for my situation.
So far it is good.
Works just fine
Got it to work. After testing and calibrating I found that using 6.5 instead of 7.5 as the multiplier gave much more precise readings. Anyone agree?
It works properly.
Works very well and accurate. Added 0.1 cap on input for noise.
Exactly what I was looking for, and worked perfectly. Just as advertised.
Works as Required
Work fine
Love this ... unlike magnetic reed switch sensors this wont stall in a polarized location giving a false impression of flowing. it is also very sensitive to low flows which a reed switch cant do unless there is a threshold flow
