Description of the YF-S201
YF-S201 is a water flow measurement sensor with high-grade quality sealing property. It works on the Hall effect principle and with a flow rate range of 1~30L/min. The module has three pins: Power, Ground, and the Analog output. YF-S201 consumes very little current and can work with an allowing pressure of ≤1.75MPa.
