Introduction
The SmartBob-TS1 is a compact and economical inventory tracking system designed for smaller tanks and silos up to 60 feet tall. It is reliable under difficult conditions and compatible with the SmartBob2 system, allowing integration into a common system for enhanced inventory control.

Design and Features
The SmartBob-TS1 features a lightweight design weighing less than 10 pounds, making it easy to mount on angled or flat roofs. It includes a built-in wireless communication option and is service and maintenance-friendly. The system is capable of measuring solids, powders, liquids, or slurries with minimal contact with stored materials.

Functionality
The SmartBob-TS1 uses a high-resolution microcontrolled optical sensing system to measure material levels. A motor releases a nylon cable with a weighted sensor probe that descends to the material surface. Measurement data is transmitted when the probe touches the material, and a second measurement is taken during retraction to ensure accuracy.

Communication and Accessories
The system supports remote initiation and viewing of measurements through various consoles and software. The C-100 and C-100MB consoles allow control of multiple sensors, while the eBob software provides graphical inventory data representation. Wireless data transmitters eliminate the need for extensive cabling.

Specifications
The SmartBob-TS1 operates within a temperature range of -20°F to +140°F and offers a measurement range of up to 60 feet with an accuracy of ±0.25%. It features RS-485 communication and can be mounted using various flange options.

Additional Accessories
Optional accessories include pipe extensions, gearbox motor heaters, and various sensor probes designed for different material densities and conditions.

Conclusion
The SmartBob-TS1 is a versatile and reliable solution for inventory measurement in smaller vessels, offering ease of use, scalability, and compatibility with existing systems.
