Product catalog summary
Introduction
Kockum Sonics has developed the LEVELMASTER® WIM, a Water Ingress Monitoring system designed to comply with SOLAS XII/12 regulations for bulk carriers. This system is based on the LEVELMASTER® CALM technology, which has been successfully implemented on various vessels for over 30 years.

Specifications and Features
The LEVELMASTER® WIM utilizes electro-pneumatic measurement, eliminating the need for electrical components in cargo holds. It features a single sensing pipe per hold, reducing installation and operational costs. The system is type-approved by major classification societies such as DNV, LRS, ABS, and BV.

Installation and Adaptability
The system is designed for easy installation, often performed by the ship's crew without dry-docking. A new 'valve unit adapter' allows for installation on existing manual sounding pipes, even with cargo present. The sensing lines are made from robust polyamide tubing, with stainless steel as an option.

Continuous Monitoring and Alarms
LEVELMASTER® WIM provides continuous level indication, allowing for accurate monitoring of water ingress. The DU350 WIM alarm panel meets IMO specifications and can be integrated with ship stability software. The system's automatic self-calibration and air purge functions ensure reliability.

Cost Efficiency and Flexibility
With only one sensing line per hold, the system significantly reduces installation costs compared to traditional limit switch systems. The use of polyamide air pipes further enhances cost savings. The system offers flexibility, with options for bilge level alarms and customization based on vessel design.

Kockum Sonics – let us add value to your onboard operation LEVELMASTER® WIM Water Ingress Monitoring SOLAS XII/12 – Water Ingress Monitoring for Bulk Carriers Kockum Sonics has supplied marine level technology, known as LEVELMASTER®, for over 30 years and through our customer led commitment to research and development introduced our solution to the SOLAS XII/12 rule. Our WIM system is based on the LEVELMASTER® CALM a level monitoring system that today is successfully installed on many types of vessels. By utilising accurate electro-pneumatic measurement, no electrical components are located in the holds and one sensing pipe will produce continuous monitoring with compliant alarms. Through this design innovation, installation and operational costs are consequently reduced to a minimum. LEVELMASTER® WIM is type approved by major classification societies: DNV, LRS, ABS and BV. Easy Installation and Do it Yourself Kit LEVELMASTER® WIM has been successfully installed and in many cases the crew has carried out the installation by themselves without the need for dry-docking. Kockum Sonics has supplied measurement unit, alarm panels and installation material complete with all necessary fittings. A new development is a smart ‘valve unit adapter’ that can be mounted on top of the existing manual sounding pipes. The measurements are performed at the botttom of the bulk hold and the manual sounding will not be hindered. Ships crew can install the adapter unit without dry-docking or it can even be done with cargo in the hold! LEVELMASTER® WIM – continuous level indication!
