At a glance

What D5 does, in plain words.

What it measures
Liquid flow
How much liquid moves through the pipe.
How it installs
Clamp-on
Sensors fit on the outside of the pipe, so the pipe stays closed.
How it connects
RS485 / 4–20 mA
Wired into control systems over Modbus RS485, or as a 4–20 mA signal.
Pipe sizes
DN50–DN150
DN is the nominal pipe size, roughly the inside diameter in millimetres.

Why D5

D5 in short.

The D5 is a premium monitoring solution for large-scale CDU systems that need maximum flow visibility. Enhanced signal stability and versatile connectivity integrate it into data-centre management platforms, and precise, immediate flow data supports proactive maintenance and the energy efficiency of liquid cooling infrastructure.

How it works

Sound with the flow arrives sooner.

Two sensors on the same side of the pipe take turns sending sound through the water. Sound travelling with the flow arrives slightly sooner than sound travelling against it; the meter turns that time difference into flow, which is why it needs to know your pipe.

Pipe & installation

What the meter needs to know about your pipe.

These are set up on the meter after installation. Pipe size and transducer type are decided when ordering.

What these terms mean
DN
Nominal pipe size, roughly the inside diameter in millimetres (DN50 ≈ 50 mm).
Clamp-on
Sensors strap to the outside of the pipe. No cutting, no shutdown for installation.
PoE
Power over Ethernet: one network cable carries power and data.
LoRaWAN
Long-range, low-power wireless. Readings travel through a gateway to a network server.
Modbus RS485
A wired connection widely used by building and industrial control systems.
4–20 mA
An analogue signal where the current represents the reading.
