BATTERY
- A built-in rechargable NiMH battery supplies power for 48 hours continuous operation when fully
charged.
- Display brightness is adjustable to conserve power.
- The MantaRay will switch off automatically when the battery is fully discharged.
- Full charge requires approximately 6 to 9 hours charging.
- Sleep mode extends battery life for long term data logging (30 days for 5 minute logging).
CHARGING BATTERY
A 16V AC-DC power module is supplied for battery charging and continuous use. Full charge requires
6-9 hours when fully drained. Solid battery icon and/or full charge adapter icon indicates when battery is
fully charged.

MAIN DISP LAY
The main display shows the units selected from the
Units/Mode menu,
Flow or Velocity rate being measured, TOTALIZER and RELAY states. The
MantaRay will start-up with this display.
MESSAGE ICON
Press from the main display to view temperature measurement, status of the
data logger battery and error/warning messages provided by the instrument. The
Message Icon will appear on the main display if error messages are being
generated by the instrument. Press to return to the main display.
STATUS
Press from the MAIN display to view instrument status.
Velocity Will be displayed in ft/sec or m/sec.
Level Is displayed in the selected units.
Displays the current totalizer reading.
Tot
Signal Cutoff Adjust the setting in percent to suppress flow readings
at zero flow when fluid swirling or pipe vibration may
cause the instrument to continue reading. Example:
Signal Cutoff at 5% will force the display
and outputs to zero when signal strength drops below
5%.
Signal Strength Displays percentage of signal being received by the
ultrasonic sensor.
EC Displays level measurement Echo Confidence
Relays 1 2 Energized relays will display with reversed font eg:
