Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) 
Measure Level, Volume or Ullage 
4–20 mA HART output option

KING-GAGE® LevelWAV guided wave level transmitter provides continuous measurement suitable over a broad range of temperatures, pressures and density variations in tanks containing liquids and solids. This radar transmitter can be used in process conditions exhibiting visible vapors, foam, surface agitation, high temperature and/or pressure.
KING-GAGE LevelWAV utilizes time domain reflectometry (TDR) technology whereby pulses of microwave energy are propagated down a waveguide (probe) extending into the tank contents. Guided wave radar works exceptionally well in tanks having internal structures while providing measured level accuracy to typically within ± 0.6 inch (± 15mm). Setup is easier, simpler and more repeatable than “through air” non-contacting radar because the probe minimizes energy dispersion so that it can even measure material having a very low dielectric value.
LevelWAV guided wave radar will detect the level of liquids, pastes, or slurries and easily lends itself to ullage (unfilled capacity) measurement. Probe length for each LevelWAV transmitter is factory calibrated based on tank depth to virtually eliminate on-site adjustment and commissioning.
Output from the LevelWAV radar transmitter can be monitored on KING-GAGE indicators and multiple tank displays enabling tank level to be represented as total volume, weight or depth of contents. Options include network connectivity including Ethernet. Each of these display options also provides excitation power (24Vdc) to the transmitter through the signal loop cable.

Guided Wave Radar 
Microwave pulses are guided down the probe and reflected back by contact with the surface of the liquid. In time domain reflectometry (TDR), the time duration of the pulse and reflected response corresponds to distance traveled. KING-GAGE LevelWAV measures level from the tank top, enabling inventory monitoring and process measurements such as level or ullage. Unlike other probe technologies, LevelWAV is not affected by foaming of liquids or where the material tends to build up on surfaces. 
KING-GAGE LevelWAV supports point-to-point communication using HART® to monitor measured levels, device status, output value (mA) and configuration parameters. (Also supports use with a handheld HART communicator for troubleshooting and field testing of the installed unit.)

Meltric DS Series DeContactors ~ Industrial Plugs

Meltric DS20 Switch Rated Plugs from Anderson-Bolds

Meltric Plugs make Safety Easy and safe money and time when changing motors, fans, pumps and lighting. The Switch rated Meltric plug and receptacles are NEC listed as a "Line of Sight" Disconnect!



The versatile DS Series plugs and receptacles offer the highest amperage range. Most models are available in metal or Poly material.

  • 20A to 200A
  • Max 25hp
  • NEMA 3R (4X option)
  • Poly or Metal Casing

Choose DS Series for its...
Switch & horsepower ratings
Higher amperage range (20-200A)
Poly or metal casings (some sizes)

Common Applications
Most industrial applications
High hp motor applications



 Using Meltric DS20 Decontactor plugs and receptacles to connect motors instead of hard-wiring can help to reduce equipment change-out downtime by as much as 50%. When replacement motors are pre-wired with Decontactor inlets or plugs, a mechanic can safely perform the electrical connections simply by unplugging the old motor and plugging in the new one.
  • No waiting for an electrician to perform field wiring
  • No “suiting-up” or extraordinary electrical precautions
  • No need to field test (jog the motor) to ensure proper rotation


Sections 430.102 – 430.109 of the National Electric Code require approved disconnecting means to be located in a readily accessible location within sight of the motor and driven equipment. With their UL & CSA ratings for “Motor Circuit Disconnect Switching” and “Branch Circuit Disconnect Switching”, Decontactor devices are an approved ‘line of sight’ disconnect switch for meeting this requirement.


Lock Out Tag Out made easy with the Switch Rated Meltric deContactors.

DS 20 Series are 20 amp rated industrial Plugs and Receptacles.
