Sensus water meter sensor mount for TL-W5MC1

Sensor mount for the SENSUS (620) water meter. Designed for TL-W5MC1 (small flat yellow/orange inductive sensor) If you're looking for an <b>Arduino based MQTT utility meter</b> which works with this impulse signaling, you migt want to have a look at this: https://github.com/Orbis92/Arduino-Impulse-Meter Note: 5V suppy didn't deliver stable signal, the turn-off signal is not very "quick" ( looks like an capacitor discharge curve) and this results in an unstable behavior since its taking to long in the undefined region of the Arduino's input. I'm using 12V with and LED, 3V-Z-Diode and an additional 4k load, to get a steeper turn of signal. You could trigger on the falling edge with a long debounce to prevent this unstable behavior during the slow turn off signal.. <s>I tested the TL-W5MC1 and the sensor seems to work even with 5V (instead of 12-24V) from an Arduino with about 3m/10ft of cable, but it might be unstable or not sensitive enough under some circumstances...</s> Check out my Elster (BK-G4) gas meter sensor, it might fit yours too: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5373258
