Product summary
The USB Data Converter XY-TEK connects an XY-TEK flow sensor/flowmeter to a computer, performing USB↔RS485 conversion and supplying power to the sensor. It is designed for compact industrial integration to enable reliable communication, simplified wiring and straightforward system diagnostics.

Product features

• Accuracy: ±3% — supports precise flow monitoring and process control.
• Compatibility with non‑invasive sensors: Reduces contamination risk for sensitive medical and pharmaceutical applications.
• Bi-directional measurement: Enables accurate volume calculation, air-bubble detection, dosing control and flow-switch functionality.
• Compact embedded design: Integrated circuitry eliminates external wiring and simplifies installation.
• No-blockage flow path: Designed to avoid dead zones and reduce clogging and flow resistance.
• Integration and diagnostics: Multiple output options and 5 status LEDs facilitate system integration and troubleshooting.
• Connectivity: Supports connection of 1 flow sensor/flowmeter and 1 controller.

Applications

• ECMO systems — verification and monitoring of extracorporeal blood flow.
