1.0 INTRODUCTION The BinMaster SmartBob TS1 ia a remote on demand level measurement sensing unit. It is designed to communicate with a personal computer running BinMaster e-Bob or IMS software, or a Bin Master SBC, SBC-A, or RSU control unit. Communication can be either over a hard wired RS-485 network or wireless using an optional built-in wireless modem.
“LINE” conductor connected to the terminal on the left. The terminal on the left wires through the fuse to the transformer. A green ground screw is provided in the SmartBob TS1 for electrically grounding the unit. A good Electrical ground must be connected to the TS1 for safety and to bleed off any static electrical charges that might built up in the TS1.
Therefore, a cable from the computer interface will be terminated at the interface unit and at the last TS1 on the network. The BinMaster RS 232 to 485 inter- face unit will have its internal NTR jumper ON and the last TS1 on the network will have its TERM switch ON.

2.6 SETTING THE ADDRESS SWITCH Each TS1 has an ADDRESS switch located on its circuit board. An address which corresponds to that in the computer controlling software or other controlling device must be set on this switch. The address set by this switch is in binary and the value of each switch lever is printed on the TS1 circuit board above the switch.
2.7 EXTERNAL OVERRIDE This feature can be used to prohibit measurements during a vessel filling cycle. The IMS software will notify the user that a measurement cannot be taken while a filling operation is in progress. Located on the SmartBob circuit board (just below the RS-485 terminals), is the terminal block labeled OVERRIDE.
3.0 TESTING THE REMOTE OPERATION 3.1 TS1 MANUAL CYCLE AND RETRACT SWITCHES The TS1 circuit board contains several push switches which allow certain manual opera- tions of the unit. The function of each push button switch is described below. CYCLE Momentarily pushing this button starts a measurement cycle.

Cable Replacement Instructions Nylon Cable Supply Pulley Idler Pulley Timing Pulley Idler Pulley Remove the Bob and discard the old nylon cable. Tie a knot 18” from the end of the cable. This will keep from paying out all of the cable in the event the unit is lowered into a empty vessel.
Limiting the Nylon Cable Length It is important to limit the length of the cable on the TS1 remote, so that the bob is not lowered into an airlock, screw conveyor or any other area that the Bob might become trapped in.
