Hardware version 1.1
The housing is no longer manufactured using the 3D printing process, but by turning and milling a plastic cylinder. For this reason the housing material also changes from "MJF-PA12" to "PE-HD".
The device is now equipped with a bulls-eye level on the top of the housing. This simplifies the correct vertical alignment of the device during installation.
Chapter Specifications
Specification of the housing material adapted to hardware version 1.1
Specification of the dimensions and weight adapted to hardware version 1.1
Specification of the accuracy added
Specification of the measurement method corrected from "80GHz Radar" to "60GHz Radar"
Specification of the data type for the measurement value "water level" added
Chapter Overview
Illustrations of the device added
Chapter General product information
Explanation adapted to account for the fact that the measurement value "water level" is now also calculated and provided directly via the BLE Radar . The required values for "mounting height" and "trimming" can be written in the BLE Radar by a compatible data logger.
Explanation adapted to account for the fact the the measurement data is cyclically generated if no data logger is paired with the BLE Radar (pairing). In case of a pairing however, the data logger must actively start the measurement.
