Leak detection

MEI GROUP's flow measurement equipment set is a low-cost water monitoring solution that uses turbine/Hall sensors to measure pulses and calculate instantaneous flow rate and totalized volume with enough accuracy for residential and light industrial applications. The sensor gives pulse signals according to the water flow speed, the internal datalogger device will process, filter noise and convert to L/min, m³/h and total m³ values.

The device integrates an industrial processor, supports 1–2 pulse channels, saves daily logs and monitors power status. In particular, the system is designed according to method Super energy saving, uses Deep Sleep mode to reduce consumption to µA levels, allowing for smooth operation pin Lithium over long periods of time and in combination solar charging for areas without mains electricity.

Data is transmitted 4G LTE about the platform MEI ECO, allows viewing realtime flow rate, 24h graph, daily/monthly total, leak warning, abnormal usage flow or signal loss. The device is suitable for residential, agricultural, well monitoring, DMA endpoints and applications requiring low-cost but highly reliable flow measurement equipment.

Flow measurement equipment set of MEI GROUP is an economical - effective solution for applications that need to monitor water flow at a low cost but still ensure reliability. The device uses a flow sensor turbine / hall sensor (YF-DN15…DN50 or equivalent sensor) to measure pulse according to flow rate, then calculate instantaneous flow rate and totalized volume based on the K-Factor.


1. Sensors & technical characteristics

  • Sensor Type: Hall turbine or Flow Pulse Sensor

  • Signal: pulse (0–1000 Hz)

  • Accuracy: ±2–5% depending on model

  • K-Factor is configurable on the device

  • Instantaneous flow: L/min or m³/h

  • totalized volume: L, m³ with high resolution

Support equipment Pulse filter, anti-vibration, ensuring correct measurement in low pressure conditions or lightly dirty water.


2. Datalogger device measures flow rate flow

  • Industrial MCU STM32/ESP32

  • Input channels: 1–2 pulse channels (NPN/PNP)

  • Automatic calculation:

    • Instant flow

    • Totalized volume by day, month and reporting period

    • Runtime

  • Protection: anti-EMI/RFI interference, long-distance lightning protection


3. Super energy-saving operating method

The device is designed for off-grid station:

Deep Sleep mode

  • MCU sleeps 99% of the time

  • Wake up by:

    • Counter pulse (with flow)

    • Data sending cycle

  • Consumption stream: ≈100–250 µA

Use battery + solar power

  • Lithium battery 3.7V or 6V/12V depending on design

  • 5W–20W solar charger

  • Battery life 6–24 months depending on usage

  • There is a battery sensor and a mode to reduce sending cycles when the battery is low


4. Data transfer & MEI ECO connection

  • 4G LTE Cat-1/Cat-M1 or NB-IoT (depending on deployment location)

  • Protocol: MQTT/MQTTS or HTTP

  • Configure K factor, send cycle remotely via MEI ECO

  • Automatically save log when network is lost → synchronize when network is available

Data posted to MEI ECO:

  • Instant flow

  • totalized volume

  • Usage graph by hour/day

  • Abnormal flow rate warning

  • Battery level – RSSI – device status


5. Alerts & analytics

  • Leak alert (flow does not return to 0 at night)

  • Warning of sudden increase in water flow → suspected pipe burst

  • Warning no water

  • Low battery warning

  • Analysis: consumption chart, comparison between periods, forecasting by AI (depending on package)


6. Application

  • Households - factory water meters

  • Well monitoring station/raw water

  • Irrigation area - drip irrigation

  • Residential area - farm - resort

  • Low-cost DMA endpoint feedwater monitoring
