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. A single TS1 with a wireless modem can be hardwired to a cluster of other TS1
units to activate simple and economical installation configurations.
In operation, the TS1 lowers a weighted bob to the surface of material, measuring the
distance and reporting the result. A micro controller counts pulses from an optical
encoder to determine this distance. Slack in the cable when the bob touches the mate-
rial causes the unit to reverse and retract the bob. The retract distance is also measured
for diagnostic purposes.
Figures 4a through 4c illustrate a few possible system configurations for both hard wired
and wireless installations. Many other configurations to fit specific needs are possible.
2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 LOCATION AND MOUNTING
The TS1 remote unit comes with one of several mounting options. The appropriate
mounting option should be specified at the time of ordering. When mounting the TS1 to
the top of the vessel, it is important that the unit is perpendicular so that in operation the
cable does not rub on anything. The location of the TS1 on the vessel roof should be
such that it will give a some what average level of the material. For the case of a round
vessel, center filled with dry material, the mounting position which will give a mathemati-
cal average of the material level is 1/3 of the vessel radius from the outer edge. This is
true mathematically for any angle of repose.

2.2 POWER WIRING
All wiring should be installed according to local and/or national codes. Refer to Figure 2
for the connection of the power wiring. The AC input power connects to the 2 pole termi-
nal block. The neutral wire should be connected to the terminal on the right and the
“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 groundingthe 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. It is recommended that both the
power and the RS-485 communication cable be ran in metal conduit.
FIGURE 2
2.3 RS-485 NETWORK WIRING
RS-485 network cable consists of a twisted pair of wires with an outer shield such as
Belden 9463 or similar. The cable is run from TS1 to TS1 with each unit connected in a
daisy chain fashion with no branch or stub runs. Polarity of the twisted pair must be
maintained throughout the entire network. The terminals for the RS-485 connection on
the TS1 circuit board are labeled with polarity marks to help prevent cross wiring. A ter-
minal connection is also provided for the outer shield of the cable.

NOTE: Where moisture may be a problem, use conduit sealing compound to prevent
moisture from entering the TS1 through electrical conduits.
FIGURE 3
2.4 RS-485 NETWORK BIASING AND TERMINATION
A proper installation of an RS-485 network will only have a resistive termination at each
end of the cable run. 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. All others should be OFF. The RS-232 to 485 interface provides
network bias and all TS1 units hardwired to it should have their BIAS jumpers OFF.
For a TS1 with a wireless modem which is driving a network of other TS1 or SmartBob
SBRXII units, the TS1 with the wireless modem should have its BIAS jumpers ON and its
TERM switch ON. All other TS1 units must have their BIAS jumpers OFF and except for
the very last unit on the network must have their TERM switches (in TS1) or NTR
switches (in SBRXII) OFF. The very last unit will have its TERM switch (NTR in SBRXII)
ON and its BIAS jumpers OFF.
Note: The TERM switch in the TS1 units performs the same function as the NTR switch
in the RS 232 to 485 interfaces, RSU or SBC consoles, or SBRXII Remote units.

NOTE: There can be only one TS1 unit having a wireless modem connected to each wired RS-485 net-
work. Do not connect multiple TS1 units with wireless modems to the same RS-485 network.
FIGURE 4c -- WIRELESS FROM COMPUTER TO ALL TS1’s WITH RADIO MODULES
2.5 WIRELESS MODEM
The optional wireless modem allows units to communicate without having interconnect-
ing wires. A system may consist of all TS1 units having wireless modems or just one
TS1 unit with a wireless modem and other TS1 units without wireless modems hard
wired to it with RS-485 cable. In such a case where one TS1 with a wireless modem
drives a hardwired RS-485 network, the TS1 with the wireless modem must have both of
its BIAS jumpers placed in the ON position and its TERM switch in the ON position. All
other units on the network should have their BIAS jumpers in the OFF position. The last
unit on the RS-485 network should have its TERM switch ON and all other units, except
the one with the wireless modem, should have their TERM switch OFF.

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. The Binary value of
each lever in the up ON position are added together to give the address number.
Consult the following chart to assist in determining the switch settings for any desired
address number.
Note: The RSU control unit only operates using address 1. It is intended to function with
a single TS1 unit on an independent RS-485 cable. The address of that TS1 must be set
to 1.

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. A connection must exist across these termi-
nals for normal operation of the remote unit, see Figure 6. A contact on an external relay
can be used to disable the remote unit during a fill cycle to prevent burying the Bob. The
use of this feature is optional, if not used, leave the factory installed jumper in the termi-
nal block.
FIGURE 6
2.8 PROTO JUMPER SETTING
The TS1 is capable of operating in two different modes as selected by the PROTO
jumper located on the TS1 circuit board. The desired mode is dependent upon what type
of controlling device the TS1 is operating with and is normally set at the factory in accor-
dance with a particular customer order. PROTO A operates in a polling mode and
PROTO B in a non-polling mode. The PROTO setting and corresponding controlling
devices are listed below.

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. The bob will
descend and retract as in normal operation.
RET HI When this switch is pushed, the motor retracts the bob under HI torque.
This switch may be used to help free a buried bob. Do not push this switch
when the bob is seated at the top or the cable may pull down in its supply
spool and become stuck.
RET LO Use this switch to retract a free bob. As long as the switch is pushed the
motor runs under low torque and allows the bob to be retracted and seated
at the top without stressing the cable.
FWD This switch allows the motor to run forward and let out line to lower a bob It
only runs while the switch is held in.
3.2 LED INDICATORS
BUSY This LED indicates when data traffic is present on the RS-485 network.
RPLY This LED indicates when that particular TS1 sends data out on the RS-485
network.
RX If a wireless modem is installed, this LED indicates when data is received
over the wireless. Lighting of this LED should be immediately followed by
the lighting of the BUSY LED.
TX This LED indicates when data is transmitted over the air from the wireless
modem. This LED should light when ever any unit on the RS-485 network
sends data.
STATUS This LED turns on when the unit switches to low torque retract mode. This
LED should light at the end of each retract cycle and on power up of the
TS1.
NOTE: On power up, the TS1 performs a low torque retract operation to insure that the
bob is fully retracted following a power off period.

1.) Remove the Bob and discard the old nylon cable.
2.) 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.
3.) Thread the same end of the cable through the hole on the front of the supply pul-
ley flange and tie a knot to secure the cable to the supply pulley.
4.) Located on the PC board is a button labled “RET-LO”. Pressing and holding the
button will wind the cable onto the supply pulley.
5.) Thread the nylon cable through and around the idler pullies and the timing pulley
as shown in the above illustration.

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. The TS1 is shipped with 30’ of cable unless otherwise specified. Disregard
these instructions if the unit was ordered with the exact amount of cable necessary for
your vessel.
1.) Remove the cable from the supply pulley by pressing the “CYCLE” button in the
center of the PC board. Keeping the cable taunt, pull on the cable as the cable spools off
the pulley. When the line is all payed out, the motor will reverse and try to rewind the
cable. Hold the cable tight so it cannot rewind. The motor should now be shut off.
2.) From the throat of the TS1, measure the height of your vessel or the maximum
distance you want the bob to travel. Cut the cable at this distance.
3.) Attach the cable to the bob as shown in the bob assembly instructions.
4.) Test the knot by pulling on the cable and bob.
5.) Rewind the cable onto the supply pulley or lower the cable and bob into the vessel.
To rewind onto the supply pulley: Pull the cable taunt. Load the supply pulley by pressing
(and hold) the “RET-LO” button located on the circuit board. Pressing this button will start
the supply pulley turning in a clockwise direction, with the cable winding over the top.
6.) Continue installation of the unit on your vessel.
