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-metre 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.
<
Automatic sensitivity control allows the unit to dynamically adjust and improve the received echoes for the best
possible measurement outcome.

Mounting

• Sensor should be mounted 1/3 the diameter of the 2” NPT (MWN1A)

vessel from the vessel wall or
2“ BSPT (MWB1A)
• Unit should never be closer than 250mm (10") to the
liquid surface
• Do not mount over or near objects which can interfere
with the unit measurement min. 250mm (10”)
• Do not mount in the centre of a curved roof to avoid
the potential of parabolic echoes
• Ensure appropriate UV protection.

Powering The Unit

When power is applied, the unit will start up automatically. The LCD will scroll through its boot diagnostics and
display the serial numbers, software version and model types for the amplifier and transducer.

The selected Display Mode will be visible with a measurement.

The top right hand corner diagnostic indicates either the operating mode or the current output.

The unit will re-scan for the level whenever it is powered up.
