Aqua Computer flow sensors are easily integrated into your water cooling loop and allow continuous flow monitoring. The mps flow series are technically based on a differential pressure measurement and do not contain any rotating components. Due to the high sensitivity of the integrated pressure sensors, the sensors pose only a minimal flow resistance. In addition, the sensors are extremely compact.The base part also has two M3 threads to be easily attached to the PC case.
The mps flow sensors feature an integrated microcontroller with USB and aquabus interface, a programmable alarm output, an integrated water temperature sensor and an external temperature sensor input. For monitoring and configuration, the aquasuite software can be downloaded free of charge. In addition to the USB interface, the 4-pin aquabus interface can be used to directly connect the flow sensor to an aquaero 5 controller (not included in delivery). The alarm output can be configured to be used as a rpm signal to be connected to a fan connector with fault detection (for example motherboard fan headers) or to be used as a switched output for example to connect a LED. Flow signal, water temperature and external temperature sensor input can be configured to raise an alarm. The external temperature sensor input is compatible with all Aqua Computer temperature sensors.
At the moment, three versions of the mps flow sensor are available that differ in range. Please select the sensor best fitting your system:
mps flow 100: Range approximately 20 - 100 liters per hour / 5 - 26 US liquid gallons per hour (Art. 53130)
mps flow 200: Range approximately 40 - 200 liters per hour / 11 - 53 US liquid gallons per hour (Art. 53131)
mps flow 400: Range approximately 80 - 400 liters per hour / 21 - 106 US liquid gallons per hour (Art. 53132)
Installation note:
For an accurate measurement we recommend to use a straight piece of tubing with a min. length of 5 cm before and after the sensor. The sensor itself should not be equipped with angled fittings.
Compatibility list aquabus interface:
aquaero 6 XT / PRO / LT
aquaero 5 XT / PRO / LT
This sensor can not be used with other devices like the aquastream pumps or poweradjust controllers for example!
Compatibility list external temperatue sensor input:
Temperature sensor inline G1/4 (art. 53066)
Temperature sensor inner/outer thread G1/4 (art. 53067)
Temperature sensor G1/4 (art. 53147)
Temperature sensor plug&cool (art. 53025)
Temperature sensor 70 cm (art. 53026)
Scope of delivery:
One flow sensor
One internal USB cable
One aquabus/rpm signal cable (3 pins)
Technical details:
Dimensions without fittings and without cables: approx. 55 x 34 x 21 mm
Connection threads G 1/4, fittings not included!
Mounting threads: 2x M3, distance 24 mm
Important notice:
If used with tubing with an inner diameter below 8 mm (for example plug & cool), for models mps flow 200 and mps flow 400 an extension (art. no. 63035) must be installed into the inlet port of the sensor to harmonize coolant flow. Without extension, the sensor readings are not valid for these configurations!
Notes on the aquasuite software:
When you activate this product you will receive the current version of the aquasuite software including an upgrade service for at least six (6) months. After the expiration of the upgrade service you may use and reinstall the latest version available during the upgrade period without a time limit.
The update service can optionally be extended or renewed at any time for a fee.
Please note that an internet connection is required for the installation and activation of the aquasuite software.
Further information about the update service and the activation of the aquasuite software can be found here.
