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.
