4.5 Flow
sensor
The flow sensor is integrated in the water supply and registers the
amount of incoming water.
It consists of a housing, a turbine (1) with permanent magnets (4) and
a board with reed switch (2).
The water sets the turbine (1) moving. The magnets (4) attached to
the turbine (1) actuate a reed switch (2) twice for each revolution.
The generated impulses are counted by the electronics module and
cannot be measured.
