Micro Hydro Water Flow Generator Model: water flow generator Installation: selfcontained Output type: twowire regulated DC5V output Product overview This micro hydro water flow generator converts water flow into regulated DC power and provides flow sensing for plumbing and level control applications. It is designed for compact, selfcontained installation and for direct use with lowpower electronics, flow sensors, water level controllers, and pump control systems. Key features and benefits Regulated twowire DC output: Provides a stable DC5V output for sensors and control electronics. Wide operating flow range: Operates across 3.5 to 20 L/min under typical pressure ranges, enabling use in a variety of small flow systems. Variable output with flow: Measured outputs include 5 VDC at about 4 L/min and up to 6 VDC at 15 L/min; starting output is approximately 3 +/0.25 VDC at 3.5 L/min. Robust pressure capability: Specified working pressures include 1.2 MPa and a working range of 0 to 1.0 MPa; test pressure 0.6 MPa. Temperature tolerance: Continuous operating range 0 to 80 C and shortterm maximum ambient temperature up to 100 C for 30 minutes; storage range 25 to 65 C. Compact, selfcontained design: Simplifies installation and integration into existing plumbing or monitoring assemblies. Multifunction compatibility: Suitable as a flow sensor, flow switch, water level controller input, float switch complement, or water flow meter in plumbing and pump systems.

Water level and float switch systems: Use with water level controllers and float switches to power and signal level detection electronics in tanks, pools, or reservoirs. Small micro hydro monitoring and lowpower electronics: Integrate into micro hydro or waterdriven systems to power sensors, data loggers, or remote indicators where a compact regulated output is required. Compatibility and integration Works with common plumbing and flow control hardware such as flow meters, flow switches, water flow sensors, liquid level controllers, and water pumps. Designed for direct integration into systems requiring a regulated 5 VDC supply derived from water flow. Notes Output voltage depends on flow rate; ensure system flow meets the specified ranges for required voltage. Installation should follow local plumbing and electrical practices to ensure correct operation and safety. This micro hydro water flow generator provides a practical, compact solution for converting water flow into regulated DC power while serving as a reliable flow sensing element for plumbing and level control applications.
