Water flow sensor

Post by roseut18 »

My question is simple , I bought a water flow sensor at lightobject.

I want that if there is no water flowing so it will cut the laser !
Is there someone who could tell me how to connect it, please ?

It is just a switch. When the water flows the contacts close, when no flow the contacts open. I bought a flow sensor some time ago from Light Objects and couldn't get it to work. I don't think the pump I had at the time had enough flow or pressure. I would test to see if it works before you install it in the unit. if you have a good pump be careful not to squeeze the lines in case the tubes break free and spray water everywhere. How to hook them up depends on the unit, but most units have a water sensor input.
