Enclosure

Wavie is a tower 184 mm tall and 88 mm square. The full CAD is in the design files.

Construction

A black soft-touch sleeve slides over a printed frame. With the sleeve off, everything is reachable.

The frame holds three tiers:

Tier Contents
Top The photometer and the pump
Middle The rotary valve, its motor and the home switch
Base The main board, then the RGB board, diffuser and base plate

Each tier's main assembly is a separate module held by screws, so one can be removed without disturbing the others.

Connections

Everything electrical connects at the back:

  • 24 V power
  • CAN bus, for expansion
  • An input for each probe

The tubes for reagents, sample and waste leave at the side.

Placement

Wavie is small enough to stand in a sump cabinet or on a shelf near the tank. The six reagent bottles sit beside Wavie in a tray; the tray design is not final.
