Water Flow Rate Sensor

A water flow meter supplied with an INCYT Blue Node, tracking both flow rate and flow volume. Alarms can be set on volume accumulated over a period rather than only on instantaneous rate, as well as high and low flow alarms based on the volume of water and rate of flow. Enhancing your ability to turn a scarce resource into a managed one.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
- 1 x Water flow rate sensor
- 1 x INCYT Blue Node
- Sensor-to-Blue-Node connecting cable
- Zip ties for securing the cable run
- Access to your data on the INCYT platform

HOW IT WORKS
- CONNECTIVITY
This sensor reports to the INCYT Cockpit over INCYT's XR Network: a proprietary long-range, low-power network that you run yourself on your own property. The sensor pairs with an INCYT Blue Node, the Blue Node is a battery pack and telemetry device for your sensor which transmits readings through the INCYT XR Network Base Station, to the Cockpit on your phone, tablet or computer. Because the network is yours, you are not dependent on mobile coverage; the sensor only needs to be within range of your Base Station, so it can sit in a paddock, pump site or remote corner of the property even where 4G and 5G do not reach. A single Base Station connects hundreds of devices, so every sensor you add after the first runs on infrastructure you already have. For more information on connectivity, click here.

- MEASUREMENT
The sensor is installed into the pipework and measures the rate at which water is passing.

- YOUR DATA & CUSTOM ALARMS
In the Cockpit you can see flow rate data across different periods, from 24 hours to a week to a year, and set low and high flow alarms. Alarms can be configured against a specific quantity of water over a custom period, for example less than 5ML in a 12 hour period, which then triggers an email, SMS or in-app message once the threshold is met. That accumulation against a period is how you manage an allocation rather than just observe a flow.

- INSTALLATION
The brass seat and pipe adapter fitting are not included and must be ordered separately so they match your existing irrigation infrastructure exactly. Confirm your pipe size and fitting type before ordering.
