GENERALLY
SmartBox®MINI is an electronic remote level gauge for unpressurised tanks, consisting of a
digital display unit with electronic interface for the mechanical FSA-E level gauge, simply
referred to as FSA-E below.
By touching the sensor depending on your settings, the display shows the
contents in the tank in litres, percentage by volume or as filling height in
centimetres for a few seconds.
The measurement data is output in a 16-character, single-row LCD display on the digital
display unit.
The scale of the FSA-E, which is mounted directly on the tank, also shows the level in the
tank continuously in centimetres.
The FSA-E 0 – 160 cm is suitable for all unpressurised tanks to a level of 150 cm, for levels
up to 240 cm, use the FSA-E 0 – 250 cm.
NOTE
TheSmartBox®MINI is rated as Protection Class IP30 and is approved for indoor use
only.
The indicated measurements are not gauged for invoicing.

xNot suitable for outdoor use.
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
The content of the tank is determined by measuring the level on the basis of the float
principle. With an electronic interface, the measurement from the FSA-E is sent via a
connection cable to the SmartBox®MINI digital display unit, where it is converted into the set
output value and shown on the display.
Installation example - standard installation of SmartBox®MINI
The FSA-E with electronic interface is set to
the maximum permitted level and is installed
in an existing G 1 1/2 tank connection
opening.
The FSA-E with electronic interface is
connected to the digital display unit with a
10 m cable or a suitable extension cable up
to a distance of 50 metres (see cable
extension option).
