PTS DIY flow sensor
by bruce » Tue Dec 02, 2008 8:17 am
I'm still planning on offering the DM for around $275 +shipping. Now one problem is shipping outside of the states and how it will meet exporting. I have not looked into this as of yet.
The DM uses a 115vac/15vdc 60hz power supply so if you have anything other than 60hz you are going to have to supply your own power supply. This is the only draw-back.
The price will be for a 3 sensor DM that is ready to hookup, final calibration will be done on the customer's flowbench. We have not done any instructions yet and it might be "seat of your pants" on the first few that leave here. It's really not that hard to setup though. We are trying VERY hard to keep the price as low as possible, this DM could/should sell for around the same as others on the market with all it's features it comes with stock!!

I'm in Canada, I've had very good luck receiving small electronic stuff for the U.S. using USPS, just yesterday I got a DTV converter box. USPS is actually my preferred means of shipping mainly because the postal services in both U.S. and Canada don't charge outrageously high brokerage fees, it's a flat rate of $4 or 5 plus the applicable sales taxes. UPS by comparison charges charges brokerage based on the value of the goods and the rates start at about $40 plus applicable sale taxes and what really burns me is that sales taxes apply to the brokerages fees as well :angry:.

I ship all my parts USPS, only had one item not make it and that was to Italy, they did not like the USA Customs form.

Max, the system needs a "standard" fifteen volt dc plug pack.
The problem is that different countries have different mains voltages, and either 50Hz or 60Hz, and the mains plugs look completely different.
Your best shot is to just buy a 15v dc plug pack capable of 50mA (or more), at a local hobby store in whatever part of the world you live in.
Bruce can supply a plug pack for US users easily enough, but for the rest of us living outside America, it is far simpler for all concerned, if we all just buy our own 15v dc plug packs locally.
