Flow sensor Honeywell AWM5102 VN, voltage range 10–15 V DC, model AWM5102 VN

Honeywell AWM5102 VN is a compact voltage-output flow sensor engineered to measure air and gas flow in systems requiring a 10–15 V DC supply. The sensor delivers an output voltage proportional to volumetric flow, enabling straightforward integration with data acquisition modules, control electronics, and monitoring systems in laboratory, HVAC diagnostic, and industrial inspection settings.

Advantages

The sensor’s voltage-output design simplifies interface with analog inputs and PLCs without the need for additional signal conversion. Its compact form factor allows mounting in confined spaces and retrofitting into existing measurement lines. Operating at a 10–15 V DC range ensures compatibility with common industrial and laboratory power supplies. The device provides reliable, repeatable readings suitable for continuous monitoring and system diagnostics.

Suitable for

• Laboratory instruments and experimental rigs that require precise air or gas flow measurement
• HVAC system diagnostics and airflow balancing
• Industrial process monitoring where a voltage-output flow sensor is preferred
• Prototyping and embedded control systems with analog input stages

Key specifications

• Measured medium: air and compatible non-corrosive gases
• Supply voltage range: 10–15 V DC
• Output type: voltage proportional to flow
• Mounting: compact inline/immersion-friendly form factor for confined installations
• Typical application environments: laboratory, HVAC diagnostics, industrial monitoring

How to use

Install the sensor inline with the gas flow path or in the designated probe port following the system’s mechanical and safety guidelines. Connect the supply voltage within the 10–15 V DC range to the sensor’s power terminals and route the voltage output to an analog input on a data logger, PLC, or measurement instrument. Calibrate the measurement system using known flow references or the instrument’s calibration routine to ensure the voltage-to-flow relationship is correct for the installed orientation and tubing. Observe correct polarity and grounding to avoid measurement errors or damage.

Recommendations

Use the sensor in clean, dry air or compatible gases and avoid exposure to corrosive agents or particulate-laden streams that could affect accuracy. For best results, place the sensor where flow is stable and free from excessive turbulence; allow straight inlet and outlet runs as recommended by the installation environment. Periodically verify calibration and inspect sealing and connections for wear or leaks.
