Impeller Insertion Style Flow Sensors - 220 Series
Impeller Insertion Style Flow Sensors - 220 Series
220 Series sensors are specifically designed for installation in underground vaults that might be subjected to flooding. As the liquid flow turns the impeller, a low impedance 8V DC square wave signal is transmitted with a frequency proportional to the flow rate. This signal can travel up to 2,000 feet between the sensor and the display unit without the need for amplification.
The Data Industrial® Series 200 flow sensors from Badger Meter® feature a six-bladed impeller design with a proprietary non-magnetic sensing mechanism. The forward-swept impeller shape provides higher, more consistent torque and is less prone to be fouled by waterborne debris.
The forward curved shape coupled with the absence of magnetic drag provides improved operation and repeatability at lower flow rates. This is especially true when the impeller is exposed to metallic or rust particles found in steel or iron pipes.
As the liquid flow turns the impeller, a low-impedance square wave signal is transmitted with a frequency proportional to the flow rate. The signal can travel up to 2000 feet between the flow sensor and the display unit without the need for amplification. All sensors except irrigation versions are supplied with 20 feet of Belden type 9320 2-conductor shielded cable.
