Aquaero + Flow sensor intermittent flow data

Wednesday, November 17th 2010, 3:08am

I just set up a friend's Aquaero + flow sensors + fans, the whole shebang, and since I'm building my own in the coming weeks, I want to get this issue sorted. Aquasuite (and Aquaero display) are not showing correct data for the flow metre. Give it a few seconds and it shows up as what I presume is the correct rate, but then it vanishes again. I've set the pulses per litre at 169, which I've read online is the correct rate. Could the problem only be power? Would that even work as the problem?

169 imp/ltr is only correct when you are using the black high flow sensor.

This sensor needs a minium flow of 40 ltr/h. Maybe the flow in the system is too low so the value always jumps?

Another possible problem could be the connection cable if it is faulty.

The sensor in question is the black high flow sensor (link below)

THere are 2 Eheim pumps in the system, so I'm certain the flow is fast enough. I'll check the cable when I get a chance.
