SmartBob Sensor for Submersed Solids

Product catalog summary
Overview: The SmartBob SS sensor by BinMaster is designed to measure solid materials submerged under liquids without the need for manual tank climbing. It is particularly useful in applications such as water treatment, wastewater facilities, food processing, petroleum refining, chemical processing, and mining.
Specifications: The sensor uses a weighted probe that descends through liquid to contact solid material, then retracts to send measurements to a control console or PC with eBob software. It features a 4-20 mA analog output for integration with existing control systems and RS-485 communications for data logging. The sensor is equipped with a stainless steel or Teflon-jacketed cable and includes an air purge fitting to keep the sensor cavity dry.
Applications: The SmartBob SS is ideal for measuring settled solids such as salt, sediment, sand, or metals under water. It replaces traditional sight tubes and is suitable for multiple tank operations, with the ability to monitor up to 120 tanks using the C-50 analog expansion console and C-100 control console.
System Integration: The system allows for real-time measurements, reporting the distance to solid material, height, and percentage of tank fullness. It supports networked monitoring of up to 128 tanks from a single console, with data retention even during power loss. The eBob software provides a user-friendly interface for viewing and managing tank data, with features like color-coding and automated email alerts.
Installation and Operation: The SmartBob SS sensor is mounted on the top of the bin and functions like an automated tape measure. It is housed in an impact-resistant enclosure and can be installed in a metal electrical box or cabinet. The system is designed for ease of use, requiring no special training.

SmartBob Sensor for Submersed Solids-1

Measures Submersed Solids Under Water BinMaster's SmartBob inventory measurement system offers a SmartBob2 SS sensor option, which is a proven solution when the requirement is to measure the level of solid material below a liquid surface, such as in brine interface applications. It can be used in tanks where solid material settles at the bottom of a tank, such as for measuring the level of settled salt, sediment, sand or metals under water. The SmartBob SS is an excellent alternative to relying on sight tubes and can be used in any application where solid material needs to be measured under liquid. Examples include water treatment, wastewater facilities, food processing, petroleum refining, chemical processing, and salt and metal mining. Accurate Measurements without Climbing Tanks The SmartBob SS sensor eliminates the need to climb tanks to get measurements. The weighted probe drops through the liquid and when it comes into contact with solid settled material, it retracts and sends a measurement to a SmartBob control console or a PC loaded with eBob software. It also features a 4-20 mA analog output from a console that can record the measurement directly to an existing control System or send data to a PC running a data logging program using RS-485 communications. The SmartBob SS sensor's design includes a standard air purge fitting that can be plumbed to add dry air and help keep the sensor cavity dry. The SmartBob SS is fitted with either a stainless steel, Teflon-jacketed cable or a durable nylon cable with stainless fittings that stands up to corrosive materials. martBob S www.binmaster.com

SmartBob Sensor for Submersed Solids-2

SmartBob SS for Submerged Solids The SmartBob2 SS for measuring submersed solids is an affordable measurement system that provides the level of solid materials that have settled on the bottom of a tank of liquids. The SmartBob SS sensor mounts on the top of the bin and works like an automated tape measure. The SmartBob sensor operates by dropping a cable with a weighted stainless steel probe that penetrates the liquid and descends to the solid material surface in the tank. When the probe comes into contact with the solid material, it automatically retracts and sends a measurement to a either...
