Description
Description
The Mod X4 processes pulses from Hall effect flow sensors to report water flow rate and accumulated flow. It suits water flow monitoring and RS485 Modbus flow control jobs that need readings from four sensor inputs and commands for solenoid valve outputs.
If you are searching for an RS485 Modbus flow switch, check how your system will use the readings and output commands. The description does not specify automatic switching thresholds, sensor flow ranges, or valve electrical ratings; check the specifications or manual before choosing it for those requirements.
Choose the Configuration for Your Measurement
- Sensor inputs: Match your application to the four Hall effect flow sensor input channels. Check the manual for sensor electrical compatibility and supported pulse frequencies.
- Power supply: Confirm that your installation provides DC 5-12V.
- Communication: The listed serial communication uses RS485, a default baud rate of 9600 and device address 1. Check the manual against your controller's communication requirements.
- Flow scaling: The default flow meter constant K value is 500. Check the sensor's K value and the documented register scaling before interpreting readings.
- Valve control: The register map provides four solenoid valve output commands. Check the manual for output electrical ratings and valve connection requirements before ordering.

If you modify the baud rate, please modify the parameters as follows.
(The parameters that can be modified are 0-3. If the data input is not a value between 0-1, the baud rate is 9600, but it will be displayed as the modified value is not 0 when reading)

0 2400
1 4800
2 9600
3 19200
Precautions:
- After modifying the address, baud rate, K value, and permanent cumulative flow, restart the device for changes to take effect.
- Close the pipeline before clearing accumulated flow to ensure accurate resetting.
- Temporary accumulated flow clears after power failure; permanent accumulated flow records every 60 seconds with a flow rate change exceeding 1L.
Questions Before Ordering
What flow readings can the Mod X4 provide?
The register map lists real-time water flow in L/min, permanent and temporary accumulated flow in L, and pulse frequency in Hz for each input. Real-time flow register readings are 100 times the actual value.
Does it automatically switch a valve at a set flow threshold?
The stated solenoid-valve output register uses 0x00FF for the on command and other values for off. It does not describe automatic flow threshold switching; check the manual for that requirement.
Which Modbus commands does it support?
The listed command codes are 0x03, 0x06 and 0x10, with CRC checking. It names the protocol as Modbus RUT RS485; check the manual to confirm compatibility with your controller.
