MiniWave Ultrasonic Level Series

Overview >
MiniWave is a compact, loop-powered ultrasonic level transmitter for continuous measurement of liquids. As a price leader, it does
not compromise on good value; and provides effortless and intuitive operation. Easy and flexible mounting combined with high <
chemical compatibility and 12 metres (40ft) measuring range makes the MiniWave suitable in multiple applications in all industries.

Principle of Operation

The MiniWave emits an ultrasonic pulse, which is reflected from the surface of the liquid being measured. The reflected signal is
processed using specially developed software to enhance the correct signal and reject false echoes.

Adaptive sensitivity control allows the unit to dynamically adjust and improve the received echoes for the best possible measurement
outcome.

Function Model Type

The MiniWave is a non-intrusive level transmitter for measuring • MWN1A - MiniWave with 2” NPT thread
level of liquids.
• MWB1A - MiniWave with 2” BSPT thread

Primary Areas of Application Accessories

Liquid Level: • FA2BB-4 - 2” ANSI Flange for BSPT threaded units

• River level • Pump stations
• FA2NB-4 - 2” ANSI Flange for NPT threaded units
• Wet wells • Water towers
• Inlet screens • Dams • Hawklink-MiniUSB - PC connector for GoshawkII
• Tanks • Basin levels
• Sumps • Chemical storage

Features

• 2 wire 4-20mA with HART • Ingress protection class IP67, NEMA 4x

• Maximum range to 12 metres (40ft) • Adaptive sensitivity control
• Non-contact measurement • Volume linearization to tank shapes or 32 point table
• Low cost per measuring point (requires PC connection with GoshawkII)
• Auto compensation for steam and signal losses • Automatic temperature compensation.
