Using a combination of both aeration and vibration, the Airbrator helps solve some of
the most diffcult material fow applications. Its special design creates a vibration as the
air fows between the Airbrator pads boot and the bin wall. Appropriate for use in any
type of bin or silo, the Airbrator is extremely economical, quite
easy to install, offers durable construction and is self-cleaning.
Solves Material Flow
Problems in Bins and Silos
The Airbrator is a very effective fow aid for many types of dry
materials such as fyash, cement, four, lime, sands and salt
as well as many other diffcult granular or powder bulk solid ma-
terials and can even be used with abrasive materials. Airbrator
features a stainless steel shaft and can be used in food-grade
applications. As an added beneft, Airbrator pads do not require
a specifc air pressure for operation. It can use high or low pres-
sure blower air from as low as 5 PSIG to as high as 60 PSIG.

Airbrator Solves Flow Problems
The Airbrator air pad is designed to help dry granular and powdered bulk material that tends to hang up
or bridge to consistently fow from silos and bins. Multiple Airbrators can be installed at strategic locations
inside the lower cone of the bin along areas where ma-
terial tends to stick or bridge. By combining both aera-
tion and vibration, the Airbrator can resolve some of the
more diffcult material fow applications that aeration
alone cannot.
The special design creates a vibration as the air fows
between the Airbrators boot and the bin wall. This
provides a very effective fow aid for all types of dry
products. Plus, Airbrator pads do not require a specifc
air pressure for operation. Blower air from as low as 5
PSIG to high pressure air up to 60 PSIG can be used
with the Airbrator.

The BinMaster Point Level Alarm
Panel is designed to alert the
user to vessel level conditions
via a blinking LED light and an
audible alarm, saving time and
eliminating the need to manually
inspect vessel levels. Level
indicators such as a diaphragm
switch, rotary paddle, tilt switch, capacitance probe or vibrating rod
are placed strategically at desired points in each vessel, enabling the
user to be automatically notifed when a bin reaches a full, partially full,
or empty level. The alarm panel can also be connected to an external
horn or common alarm to provide alert status from a variety of locations
throughout a facility.
The alarms are activated as product comes into contact with the level
indicator or falls away from a level indicator. These alarms cause the
LED light to blink and an audible alarm to sound from the panel. When
the user presses the acknowledge button, the LED stops blinking and
turns solid. When the material in the bin drops below the level indicator
as a
vessel is emptied or comes back into contact with the level indicator
as a vessel is flled, the LED on the panel goes out altogether and the
panel automatically resets and is ready to receive the next alarm signal.
Consolidating information at a convenient centralized location, the Point
Level Alarm Panel is available with four to 24 vessel level indicator
stations, making it capable of monitoring high and low status for two to
12 separate vessels from a single panel. If desired, an alarm panel may
be confgured for more than two readings from a single vessel, such as to
add a partially full status to be read from additional level indicators placed
at other points on a vessel.

Level Sensors
Innovative Design
PROCAP capacitance probes use advanced integrated circuit
technology operating at a low frequency to achieve both high
sensitivity and stable calibration. The probe uses a simple
timing technique that compares the discharge time of the
probe capacitance to that of a reference capacitance. The
probes outstanding stability results from several factors.
A single integrated circuit makes the critical timing com-
parison. Temperature variations have an equal effect on the
timing of both the probe and reference capacitance and,
therefore, cancel.
The time interval at which the discharge comparison is repeat-
ed is not involved in the sensing process, making calibration
independent of oscillator frequency and stability.
Both the probe and the reference capacitance discharge are
from a common voltage level. This makes calibration insensitive
to power supply voltage variations.
Equal internal capacitance in both the probe and refer-
ence circuitry make any temperature dependent chang-
es to these component values cancel. In addition, these
internal capacitors have zero temperature coefficients
and are physically located together to assure they are
at equal temperatures.
New calibration stability, along with static discharge
survival, and RF immunity are three of the main reasons
why BinMaster probes outperform the competition.
Interference Free
BinMasters PROCAP capacitance sensors provide high
sensitivity and accurate level detection without using
radio frequency (RF) signals. According to the Federal
Communications Commission, signals in excess of 9 KHz
are classified as RF and are prone to radiate. Competitive
capacitance sensors which emit RF signals may interfere
with nearby electronic plant equipment. Conversely, some
competitive sensors utilizing RF are themselves susceptible
to interference from other RF sources and may not function
properly when a device such as a two-way radio is operated
near them. BinMaster PROCAP capacitance probes are
completely immune to such interference issues.
Principle of operation
BinMasters PROCAP capacitance sensors detect
the presence or absence of material in contact
with the probe by sensing a change in
capacitance caused by the difference
in the dielectric constant of the vessel
material and air. These sensors must
be able to sense very small changes in
capacitance, typically one picofarad.
To sense such a small capacitance
change, competitive manufacturers often
use electronic circuits incorporating fre-
quency shift oscillators and balanced
bridges that must operate at high fre-
quencies in the RF range. Most capaci-
tance sensor manufacturers use frequen-
cies between 100 KHz and 2 MHz.
BinMasters capacitance probes use a unique
discharge time constant detector circuit which
allows sensing capacitance changes less than
one picofarad without the need for radio fre-
quencies. PROCAP capacitance sensors oper-
ate at approximately 6 KHz, well below the
RF level and therefore are not subject to FCC
regulation. Plus, because the PROCAP sensors
operate at such a low frequency, they will not
interfere with nearby electronic plant equipment
and are not susceptible to interference from
other equipment.
Quick-Set Calibration
Calibrating PROCAP sensors is made simple and precise with
the Quick-Set design using two single-turn potentiometers. One
labeled coarse is used to compensate for the capacitance of
the empty vessel. The other potentiometer labeled fine is set to
the desired sensitivity for the vessel material. However, material
does not need to be present when calibrating PROCAP sensors.
Two quick turns and the sensor will maintain precise calibration
and dependable operation even throughout extreme climate
changes.

Pro-Shield Prevents
False Readings
PROCAP sensors feature PRO-Shield to guard
against false readings from buildup on the probe
or bridging between the sidewall and the probe.
The shield is a portion of the probe that emits a
non-sensing signal that forces the active signal
to examine a large area around the probe. The
PRO-Shield allows the PROCAP sensors to be
used in vessels storing a wide variety of dusty,
sticky, or clinging materials.
Time Delay
Minimizes False Signals
The time delay feature minimizes false signals from
sudden material shifts or splashing liquids caused
by process activities. The time delay operates by
delaying a set period of time prior to acknowledging
the signal for a change in the presence or absence
of material. The time delay is simple to adjust and
may be set up to 30 seconds. BinMaster also offers
a dual timer capacitance probe with a flexible time
delay for covered and uncovered conditions.
New Fail-Safe
Protection Eliminates
Process Accidents
PROCAP capacitance sensors feature fail-safe
protection to eliminate process accidents caused
by a power failure. A high/low selectable switch
allows the sensor to be set for fail-safe high or
fail-safe low.
Material Buildup
PROCAP Sensors
Modular Design, Many Applications
Applications
BinMasters PROCAP capacitance sensors
are designed for a wide array of applications.
PROCAP sensors may be used in solid, liquid
and slurry materials. The sensors may be used
for high and low level detection in bins, silos,
tanks, hoppers, chutes and other vessels where
material is stored, processed or discharged.
Detects Wide
Range of Materials
Capacitance sensors are calibrated based
on the dielectric constant of the material
being detected. BinMasters PROCAP sen-
sors may be easily calibrated for detecting
material with a dielectric constant ranging
from 1.5 picofarad and greater. With the
simple to use Quick-Set calibration, a
PROCAP sensor can be set to detect
your material in just a few seconds!
Extended Models
The flexible cable extension probe was
designed for high, mid or low level detec-
tion when it is necessary to top mount the
sensor. This probe is also very effective
in aggregates, coal, or other lump materi-
als that might damage a rigid probe. The
maximum length of the cable is 35 feet.
The cable can be cut to the desired length
in the field.
Sanitary Models
Sanitary versions for the food and pharma-
ceutical industries have no threads and
feature a tri-clamp connection. These units
are 3-A/USDA compliant and are food grade
safe. Units are designed to operate in
clean-in-place (CIP) applications in the
food industry.
Flush Mounted Models
This probe was designed for space constrained
areas or applications where material flow or
bridging may damage standard probes. The
probe mounts flush on a vessel wall, conveyor
housing or chute.
OEM Models
The shielded, bare stainless steel probe was
designed to allow customers to purchase one
standard probe and adjust the length in the field.
The probe can be cut down to 8 or extended to
8. This will reduce cost, decreases lead times,
and allows stocking of one probe.
Remote Electronics
Specially designed for hostile applications
with high temperature or vibration, the probe
and electronics are housed in separate
enclosures. With this unique split configura-
tion, the sensors electronics may be safely
mounted up to 75 from the sensing probe.
Bendable Probe
This probe can be bent to avoid obstruc-
tions in a vessel while still allowing adequate
probe surface area to detect presence or
absence of material. The bendable probe can
be used in most solid materials; one popular
use is in smaller mixers or containers for food
processing applications.
Hazardous Locations
PROCAP IX & IIX capacitance sensors are
specially designed for hazardous location
applications. The sensor housing is explosion
proof for Class I, Groups C & D and Class II,
Groups E, F & G. This model is available with
a standard or flush mount sensing probe.
Auto-Calibration
The PRO AUTO-CAL calibration procedures
take seconds and can be performed through
the units cover with the use of a magnet.
This unit also allows simulation of either
covered or uncovered conditions without
accessing the probe assembly or electronics.

Capacitance 101: Understanding the
Industrys Most Versatile Point Level Control
Capacitance probes function like big capacitors.
A capacitor is an electrical device formed by two
conductors and separated by an insulator. The two
conductors are represented by the active portion
of the probe, and the wall of the metal vessel. The
probe energizes the conductors and measures the
capacitance that exists between them. The amount
of capacitance depends upon the size of the conduc-
tors, the physical space between the conductors,
and the dielectric of the material between them. The
dielectric constant of a material is a unitless number,
derived from the ratio of the amount of capacitance
produced when material is present, compared to the
amount produced when only air is present.
Capacitance is expressed in units called farads.
For our purpose, a farad is much too large. We talk
in terms of picofarads. A picofarad is one-trillionth
of a farad. When material makes contact with the
probe, the capacitance between the two conductors
changes. The unit perceives that change and sends
a relay signal to signify the presence or absence of
material. BinMaster capacitance probes use fail-safe
relays; so if the unit loses power, the relays fall to the
safe condition and send a signal indicating an alarm
condition.
Conductive materials that leave a residue once
they have fallen away require a coated or sleeved
probe. This non-conductive coating keeps the con-
ductive material from grounding the probe to the ves-
sel wall. Any conductive residue that builds up from
the vessel wall to the active portion of an uncoated
probe will short out the two conductors. It would be
like pressing the two conductors right up next to each
other, making it impossible to sense anything be-
tween them.
When you calibrate the probe, you are setting it
above the dielectric constant of the ambient envir-
onment (air), and below the dielectric constant of
your material. The dielectric constant of air is 1. The
BinMaster capacitance probes can sense material with
a capacitance of 1/2 picofarad above air.
A PRO-Shield on the BinMaster probes is de-
signed to overcome problems resulting from sidewall
buildup, or bridging between the sidewall and probe.
A shield is an energized portion of the probe not used
for sensing material. The frst fve inches of the shaft
as it extends out from the enclosure make up the
shield (see diagram).
The probe examines
a large area around itself,
not just the area imme-
diately surrounding it.
This allows the probe to
ignore buildup which can
occur on the probe as-
sembly. This also allows
use a sleeved probe.
BinMaster PROCAP Series capacitance probes
use advanced integrated circuit technology operat-
ing at a low frequency to achieve both high sensitivity
and stable calibration. The probe uses a simple timing
technique that compares the discharge time of the
probe capacitance to that of a reference capacitance.
The probes outstanding stability results from several
factors. (1) A single integrated circuit makes the criti-
cal timing comparison. Temperature variations have
an equal effect on the timing of both the probe and
reference and, therefore, cancel. (2) The time interval
at which the discharge comparison is repeated is not
involved in the sensing process, making calibration
independent of oscillator frequency and stability. (3)
Both the probe and the reference capacitance dis-
charge are from a common voltage level. This makes
calibration insensitive to power supply voltage varia-
tions. (4) Equal internal capacitance in both the probe
and reference circuitry make any temperature depen-
dent changes to these components values cancel. In
addition, these internal capacitors have zero tempera-
ture coeffcients and are physically located together to
assure they are at equal temperatures.
Calibration stability, along with static discharge sur-
vival, and RF immunity are three of the main reasons
why BinMaster probes outperform the competition.
Quick Set Calibration with two single-turn
potentiometers performed without material
present, takes less than 20 seconds to perform.
Operates at a low frequency of 6 KHz, below the RF
range and will not interfere with or be interfered by
other nearby electronic equipment.
Unsurpassed static protection:
1. Static drain.
2. Gas discharge tube does not allow
voltage to rise above a certain level.
3. By-pass capacitance on input
passes false impulses to ground.
4. Current limiting resistance on probe
Standard probe includes 1-1/4 and 3/4 NPT mount.
PRO Shield protects against false readings
because of coating or buildup.
A stronger, more durable probe constructed
of 5/8 diameter 316 S.S.
Standard abrasion resistant Delrin or Tefon insulated
probe sleeve allows the same unit to be used in solids,
powders, slurries, or liquids. One size fts all.
Extremely sensitive probes can sense material
with a capacitance of 1/2 picofarad above air.

Levels Outside of
Preset Standards
Makes the
Workplace Safer
and More Efficient
Dust Detect 1000
The Dust Detect 1000 is a single device dust detector that has been specifcally designed
to continuously monitor the fow of particulate emissions from small stacks or other emission
points being passed through a flter within an air fltration system. It easily installs in
the exhaust ductwork and can be used in conjunction with various types of bag, ceramic,
cartridge or cyclone flters. The probe on the Dust Detect 1000 is designed to recognize
abnormal particulate levels outside user-defned preset parameters and initiates an alarm
when changes in emission exceed these levels.
The Dust Detect 1000 helps to prevent the loss of valuable product
and dramatically improves the safety of the workplace by alerting
personnel to changes in emission levels before they become serious,
which can virtually eliminate emission-related shutdowns. The device
is simple to use, yet feature rich, making the Dust Detect 1000 a highly
accurate and dependable dust monitoring system.
The Dust Detect 1000 measures particulate emission levels using a
logarithmic scale against the set reference point, which is established by
averaging the level of emissions for a given environment. It activates an alarm
which is switch selectable and can be set for either an instantaneous reading or
one-minute averaged level reading. By averaging the emission readings, the Dust
Detect 1000 eliminates false readings commonly found with other dust monitoring
systems that smooth readings. This device also provides a pre-warning alarm which
alerts to potentially hazardous situations.

Dust Detect 1000 Specifications
Dust Detect 1000 utilizes triboelectric technology, whereby the collision and
interaction of particles with the probe rod causes a small electrical charge
transfer to occur. This small electrical charge provides a signal that is monitored
by the electronics in the device. It is designed to prevent false readings, even
if an accumulation of dust forms on the sensor rod. Emissions readings are
averaged, not smoothed, to eliminate false alarms. It can be set to make pre-
warning indicator alerts to potentially hazardous situations or be set to provide
an instantaneous alarm or one-minute averaged readings. BinMaster offers a
4-20 mA output for applications where Dust Detect 1000 will be used with a PLC.

Examples of Industries Needing Particulate Monitoring
The BM-30 LGX is a particulate monitoring device designed for general process and environmental monitor-
ing. This particulate monitoring system consists of a control unit, a particulate sensor and a sensor coaxial
cable. Applications for the BM30-LGX include continuous emissions monitoring,
baghouse flter leak detection and process particulate fow monitoring. It detects
many types of particulate including solid particulates such as dusts, powders,
granulars and pellets. Particulate monitoring helps compa-
nies meet regulatory requirements by detecting leaks before
emissions are visible, and prevents the escape of valuable
powders while providing a cleaner, safer workplace.
Simple, Rugged & Maintenance-Free
The control unit which includes the electronics is housed in a rugged, cast aluminum enclosure. A LCD
displays particulate levels in bar-graph and digital forms. A lockable membrane keypad is provided for setup
and adjustment of parameters. Two (2) relay contact outputs are standard; an isolated 4-20 mA output is
optional. The particulate sensor is very durable and virtually maintenance-free. The sensor is passive with
no active circuits, to ensure high reliability and durability. It does not require special alignment and is not af-
fected by normal vibration. The cable that connects the particulate sensor to the control unit is a high-quality
coaxial cable specifcally designed for the BM-30 LGX system. The maximum cable length is 300 feet/91
meters making it ideal for a wide variety of installations.
Particulate Monitoring &
Baghouse Leak Detection
Induction-Based Technology
The BM-30 LGX employs a highly reliable technology based on induction. A sensor probe is mounted
in an airfow stream such as a pipe, duct or stack. As particulate fows near and over the sensing element,
minute electrical currents are induced in the sensor and transferred to the control unit by a coaxial cable. A
microprocessor flters and processes the signal into a normalized, absolute output that is linear to the mass
concentration of particulate. The BM-30 LGX is CE conformant, CSA certifed (optional) and complies with EN
61010, safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use applications.

enhanCes safety
With bin level indicators installed, there is no need
for climbing ladders or onto bin roofs to routinely
check bin levels. This reduces the risk of accidents
and helps companies avoid insurance claims due to
falls and injuries. Plus, for volatile
or dusty materials, many devices
are offered with explosion-proof
certifcations to prevent accidents.
siMple operation
BinMaster level, fow and dust
detection controls are easy to
install and operate. Designed
with simplicity and convenience
in mind, this array of devices
does not require highly skilled
technical or operational staff or continual
reference to bothersome manuals. Over the long
term, BinMaster equipment is designed for minimal,
easy service.
saves tiMe
BinMaster level indicators require fewer people
to do more work by eliminating frequent
climbing and allowing multiple bins to be
monitored from a central location. With
systems to manage from one up
to 120 bins, there is no time
wasted going to each bin. Many
devices also offer a fail-safe
feature that gives an immediate warn-
ing and instantaneous response in the event
of a failure.
requires less staff
Many facilities are challenged with having less
staff than they need. Not only is the need for staff
to climb bins greatly reduced, BinMasters durable
products require virtually no maintenance. These
long-lasting products will provide years of trouble-
free operation and infrequently need replacement.
By design, the de-energized operation of the
motor in BinMaster rotaries places less stress on
the motor and prolongs motor life.
prevents Bin overflows
Overflling bins ruins materials, wastes time,
makes a mess, and costs money. Installing bin
level controls allows users to automatically monitor
materials and control processes. By managing
material storage and fow, users can prevent bin
overfows, empty conditions, clogged chutes
and jammed conveyors. This helps eliminate
costly spills, material waste and unnecessary
downtime.
iMproves
inventory ManageMent
From simple point level controls to advanced
inventory management systems, BinMaster
can help an operation run more effciently.
Inventory levels will be more accurate.
Information regarding bin status will be
timely, allowing for just-in-time replenishment
and reducing the risk of shutting down
operations if material should run out. Advanced
systems like SmartBob allow users to view multiple
bins at a glance, helping to alleviate stress
on production and purchasing personnel.

and consoles from BinMasters
SmartBob inventory tracking
system, the SmartBob-TS1 is de-
signed to reliably measure powders,
granules, pellets, plastic resins, and dry
bulk solids as well as liquids in smaller bins,
tanks and silos.
SmartBob2 Inventory
Management System
The SmartBob2 remote is the core component
of a proven, reliable level measurement
system for solids, powders, liquids
or slurries using cable-based,
dust-penetrating sensor technol-
ogy. When combined with its
powerful Windows-based eBob
software program installed on
a personal computer or remote
push-button control consoles,
SmartBob2 offers the strongest
and smartest cable-based inventory
measurement system on the market
today with the ability to manage from
one up to 120 bins of heights up to 180 feet.
Single Blade
Vibrating Rods
With a unique single-rod probe design and
a sword-shaped blade that prevents
bridging of material, BinMaster
vibrating rods are superior to
typical tuning fork designs
by allowing material to easily
fow by, preventing buildup
on the blade. BinMasters
standard 7-inch piezoelectric
driven vibration type point level
switch is suitable for both top
and side mount applications, while
rigid extended models can be custom
built up to 13 feet of either galvanized or
stainless steel, dependent on the application.
PROCAP Series
Capacitance Probes
PROCAP capacitance probes offer interference-
free, fail-safe operation and Quick-Set
calibration. Working far below the
RF level of 9 KHz at 6 KHz PROCAP
will not interfere with two-way
radios or other equipment
operating in the radio spectrum.
Optional Class I and II hazard-
ous location ratings, remote
electronics and fush-mount
designs combined with a wide
assortment of probes and exten-
sions make these capacitance probes
appropriate for a variety of challenging
applications in solid, liquid and slurry materials.
3DLevelScanner
Multiple-Point Measurement
BinMasters 3DLevelScanner is a non-contact,
dust-penetrating bin volume measure-
ment system that uses patented,
acoustics-based technology
to measure bin contents at
multiple points to determine
the volume of material in
the bin. Its 3DLevel Manager
software sends detailed log
reports to a personal computer
for easy remote monitoring,
with advanced models featuring
optional surface mapping capabili-
ties. It offers very low maintenance and
is self-cleaning, making it ideal for high-dust
environments.

The Most Powerful, Reliable, and Affordable Level, Dry Flow, and Dust Detection Controls
Tilt Switch High
Level Indication
The BinMaster tilt switch is a versatile, cost-
effective level indicator that can
be used to alert to high levels,
clogged chutes or used as a
load sensor in a wide variety
of applications and materials.
The tilt switch is installed in a
bin, or over an open pile or
conveyor using a wire rope,
chain or other fexible hanger.
When material rises and the
device is tilted at least 15 degrees,
a steel ball inside of the device
activates a microswitch, alerting the
user to a high level or clogged status.
Basic Point Level
Diaphragm Switch
A diaphragm switch provides simple, low-cost,
automatic level indication of free
fowing dry materials such as
grain, feed, seed and other
granular or pelleted materi-
als. It operates by sensing
material pressing against the
diaphragm and activating
a visual or audible alarm to
start or stop a process or alert
to high, medium or low levels
in bins. BinMaster offers models
for hazardous and non-hazardous
environments, internal or external
mounting, and either neoprene or silicone
diaphragm covers.
Reliable Rotary
Level Controls
Rotary level indicators are proven, widely used
devices for point level detection and suitable
for a wide range of powder and bulk
solid materials. BinMaster rotaries
feature a specialized motor design
with de-energized operation,
shutting down the motor when
material is present, prolonging
motor life and saving energy. A
triple-thread, screw-off lid offers
easy access to components and
dual-conduit entries allow for
simple installation. With options like
fail-safe protection alerting to loss
of power and models for hazardous locations,
BinMaster rotaries are best-in-class for the industry.
Airbrator Combines
Aeration & Vibration
Airbrator is a very effective fow aid for many
types of diffcult dry materials such as
fy ash, cement, four, lime, sand
and salt. Using a combination
of both aeration and vibration,
its special self-cleaning design
creates a vibration as the air
fows between the pads boot
and the bin wall. Airbrator is
appropriate for use in any
type of bin or silo including
food grade applications. It is
extremely economical, quite easy
to install, and does not require specifc
air pressure for operation.
Flow/No Flow
Detection for Solids
Appropriate for solids or powders, BinMasters
fow detect system alerts users if the
fow status has changed, power
is lost, or communication is inter-
rupted. This system consists
of a remote sensor probe
mounted in a pneumatic pipe-
line, gravity chute or feeder and
a control console mounted in
an area accessible to users.
The non-intrusive sensor probe
is an industrial grade instrument
that senses fow / no-fow conditions
using Doppler technology (microwave)
to provide highly reliable and sensitive motion
detection.
Dust Detect
Emissions Monitoring
BinMasters single device dust detector is
designed to continuously monitor the
fow of particulate emissions from
small stacks or other emission
points being passed through a
flter within an air fltration
system. It easily installs in the
exhaust ductwork and can
be used in conjunction with
various types of bag, ceramic,
cartridge or cyclone flters. Its
probe is designed to recognize
abnormal particulate levels outside
user-defned preset parameters, initiating
an alarm when changes in emissions exceed
these levels.

aUMenta la SeGUridad
Con los indicadores de nivel instalados en con-
tenedores, no hay necesidad de subir escaleras ni
techos de contenedor para verifcar rutinariamente
los niveles de recipiente o contenedor. Esto reduce
el riesgo de accidentes y ayuda a las empresas a
evitar las reclamaciones de seguro
debido a las cadas y lesiones.
Adems, para los materiales
voltiles o polvorientos, muchos
dispositivos se ofrecen con certi-
fcaciones a prueba de explosin
para prevenir accidentes.
oPeraCion SiMPle
Los niveles de BinMaster,
controles de fujo y deteccin de
polvo son fciles de instalar y
operar. Diseado con la sencil-
lez y la conveniencia en la mente, esta serie
de dispositivos no requiere de personal sumamente
tcnico ni operacional, tampoco requiere referencia
continua a manuales molestos. A largo plazo, el

nos personas para realizar ms trabajo
por medio de eliminar las subidas
frecuentes y permite que mltiples
contenedores sean monitoreados
de una ubicacin central. Con
sistemas para manejar de 1 hasta
120 contenedores, no hay tiempo
malgastado en verifcar cada contene-
dor individual. Muchos dispositivos tambin
ofrecen una caracterstica prueba de fallas
que da una advertencia inmediata y respu-
esta instantnea en caso de un fallo.
reQUiere MenoS PerSonal
Muchas instalaciones tienen el desafo de contar
con menos personal del que necesitan. No slo es
la necesidad de personal para subir contenedores
reducido en gran medida, los productos duraderos
de BinMaster prcticamente no requieren manten-
imiento. Estos productos de larga duracin le pro-
porcionaran aos de funcionamiento sin fallos y con
poca frecuencia necesitaran ser reemplazadas. Por
diseo, el funcionamiento del motor des-energizado
en los motores rotativos BinMaster genera menos
estrs en el motor y prolonga la vida til del motor.
PreViene deSBordaMiento
Saturar o sobrellenar contenedores arruina mate-
rias, es prdida de tiempo, ocasiona desborde, y
cuesta dinero. Instalar controles de nivel de con-
tenedor permite a usuarios vigilar automticamente
el proceso de materias y control. Por medio del
manejo de almacenamiento y fujo de materiales,
los usuarios pueden prevenir capacidades excesi-
vas del contenedor, condiciones vacas, toboganes
obstruidos y transportadores atascados. Esto
ayuda a eliminar derrames costosos, desecho de
material y tiempo de inactividad innecesario.
MeJora el ManteniMiento
de inVentario
De simple punto de controles hasta los sistemas
avanzados de gestin de inventario, BinMaster
puede ayudar al funcionamiento ms efcaz de
una operacin. Los niveles de inventario sern
ms precisos. Informacin sobre el estatus del
contenedor ser oportuna, tomando en cuenta
reposicin justo-a-tiempo y reduce el riesgo de
cerrar operaciones si el material llegara agotar. Los
sistemas avanzados como SmartBob permiten a los
usuarios ver varios contenedores/ recipientes de un
vistazo, ayudando a aliviar el estrs sobre personal
de produccin y compras.

PRODUCT SELECTION CHART
Point Level Indicators Continuous Level Flow & Dust

Convenient LED Readout
Flow Detect 1000
The FDC 1000 Control offers a user-friendly, four LED readout
indicating fow, power, loop fault and alarm status . . . plus separate
time delay adjustments for both fow and no fow conditions. It is
equipped with self-monitoring features including a switch select-
able, fail-safe alert that will indicate an alarm condition if the unit
loses power. The loop fault indicator notifes the user to a loss of
communication between the Remote Sensor Probe and Control
Console, preventing false or incorrect readings. For added con-
venience, all control settings are made from the Control Console,
not the Remote Sensor Probe - with a single-turn potentiometer
allowing for quick and easy sensitivity calibration.
Flow / No Flow Detection
for Solids & Powders
The BinMaster fow detect system consists of two components - the FDS 1000 Remote
Sensor Probe which is mounted in a pneumatic pipeline, gravity chute or feeder - and the
FDC 1000 Control Console which is mounted in an area accessible for users to read the
console during operations. The system promotes continuous and effcient operations by
informing users that solid or powder materials are fowing and alerts them if the fow
status has changed, power has been lost, or if communication between the Remote
Sensor Probe and the Control Console has been interrupted.
Reliable Doppler
Technology
The FDS 1000 Remote Sensor Probe is a high quality, industrial grade
instrument that senses fow / no-fow conditions using Doppler technology
(microwave) to provide highly reliable and sensitive motion detection. It
works by transmitting a low energy signal through a Tefon process seal
into the material fow stream. A portion of the signal is refected back to the
sensor, with the movement of material causing a frequency shift - called
the Doppler shift - which is used by the sensor to detect material fow.

Status
BinMasters diaphragm switch is designed for use with free-
fowing, dry granular or pelleted material being stored in
bins, silos or hoppers. Mounted inside or outside of the
bin, the diaphragm switch also called a pressure switch
can be used for detecting high, intermediate or low levels
of material. The device is connected to a light, horn or
point level alarm panel and activates an alert when
material comes into contact with, or falls away from,
the diaphragm switch.
Simple, Reliable Operation
The diaphragm switch features a simple operating mechanism mak-
ing it highly reliable and requiring minimal maintenance. It operates
by sensing material pressing against a switch as the bin flls. When
material comes into contact with the pressure switch, it activates a
sensitive microswitch which can be wired to a visual alarm, such as
a light or an audible alarm, such as a horn. It can also be wired to
stop or start a process when materials reach a desired level.
Point Level Control for
Free Flowing Material
For Non-Hazardous and
Explosion Proof Applications
Made with pride in BinMasters 75,000 square foot plant in Lincoln, Nebraska,
USA this diaphragm switch features simple, rugged construction at a very
affordable cost. Internal or external mounting options are available, with the
external mounting option requiring a hole be cut in the bin wall. There are
also several options for the diaphragm cover including standard and heavy
duty neoprene, neoprene with nylon mesh or heavy duty silicone. The BM45 model is designed for non-
hazardous installations, while the BM65 is appropriate for explosion proof applications.
Diaphragm Switch
www.binmaster.com
Diaphragm Pressure Sensitive Level Indicators
The BM45 series is a general purpose, economical indicator designed for non-hazardous applications. The BM65 series has the same
operating benefts as the BM45 series, but is designed for use in hazardous atmospheres charged with combustible dust. The BM65
series is listed for Class II, Groups E, F and G. Both models are available for either internal or external
mounting. Internally mounted models are easy to install, while the externally mounted permits
mounting of the entire unit outside the bin, making the operation mechanism easily accessible.
BM45 and BM65 models using the heavy duty neoprene, neoprene with nylon mesh and silicone
diaphragms have a thicker .031 diaphragm and a snap-action switch which is less sensitive than
the standard switch. These units are intended for use with heavier materials and low level installation
within the bin. The silicone diaphragm is designed to remain more resilient and sensitive in extreme
temperature conditions.
Products Used In
Neoprene is a type of synthetic rubber. Neoprene has a variety of properties that make it quite useful, including being
abrasion-resistant, chemical-resistant, waterproof, stretchable and buoyant.
Silicone Rubber offers the best long term resistance to environmental extremes. The chemical, electrical, and mechanical
properties of silicones remain virtually unchanged at temperatures from -160 to 500 F.
Neoprene with Nylon Mesh has outstanding resistance to most chemicals, heat, and oils. Further, it is fame resistant, offers
excellent color stability, weather resilience and extremely high abrasion resistance. Low moisture absorption and good dielectric
qualities are among its other features.

The GWR-1000 is suitable for vessels of most any shape or diameter, including narrow tanks in a variety of industries including food,
grain, seed, feed, cement, asphalt, minerals, quarries, steel, chemicals, and power generation. It measures reliably and accurately and
is immune to dust, humidity, temperature, pressure and bulk density changes as well as noise that might be present during flling or
emptying, even in chunky materials like rock or stone. BinMaster offers standard GWR models for process temperatures from -22F to
195F (-30C to 90C) and the high temperature GWR-HT models for temperature extremes from -22F to 392F (-30C to 200C).
Measures Powders, Bulk Solids & Liquids in Vessels up to 78
GWR-1000
Guided Wave Radar
Reliable, Accurate,
Continuous Level Measurement
BinMasters GWR-1000 guided microwave level transmitter utilizes time domain refectometry (TDR) to
continuously measure the distance, level and volume of powders, granules and solids in bins, tanks and
silos. It is also suitable for use in a variety of liquids. The transmitter is mounted on the top of the vessel
in an unobstructed area through a 1 or 1-1/2 NPT opening. A single, fexible stainless steel cable with
a counter weight custom made to the height of the vessel is suspended from the transmitter to the
bottom of the vessel. The transmitter emits a low power microwave signal guided along the cable. When
the pulse reaches the surface of the medium being measured, the pulse energy is refected up the probe
to circuitry that then calculates the level based on the time difference between the pulse being sent and
the refected pulse received. The sensor can output the analyzed level
as a continuous measurement reading via an analog output.
The GWR radar signal has a large detection area
360 and extending out around the probe. When the
electromagnetic pulse comes in to contact with product
on the probe, the signal is returned and analyzed
to see whether it refects the true level. Because
the true level always has a larger return signal than
the return signal generated from the smaller mass
sticking to the probe, the sensor can easily
identify the true surface of the material.

BinMasters GWR-1000 comes from our factory calibrated, confgured, and ready to use. Installation is quick, simple and
can be done by plant personnel, which helps minimize costs. The cable comes custom-made to the length needed for the
vessel. It installs easily through an existing or new 1 or 1-1/2 NPT opening. BinMaster offers both
powder coated carbon steel and stainless steel mounting plates should one be needed.
The GWR-1000 can be retroft in existing vessels or installed in new vessels and does
not require special confguration to compensate for structural or environmental condi-
tions that might be present in the vessel. Installation can be performed while the vessel
is in service, if needed. Once power is applied, the measurement data is converted to a
4-20 mA with HART for simple connection to an existing control system or display module.
HART communication software is also available. With the help of the SAP-300 plug-in display,
basic parameters of measurement and output can be set. The large LCD screen displays the
measured values in numerical and bar graph form.

SmartSonic and SmartWave are for continuous
non-contact level measuring and monitoring of
tanks, bins, and silos. The SmartSonic features
a variety of ultrasonic transmitters and the
SmartWave features a variety of pulse radar
transmitters, both with broad processor
capabilities that provide remote display and full
communication solutions. This plug-and-play
design allows us to build a solution that matches
your exact needs and is fully scalable for future
expansion.

SmartSonic generates an ultrasonic pulse that is
sent in the direction of the product in a vessel.
The pulse reflects off the product and returns to
the sensor in the form of an echo. SmartWave
generates an electromagnetic pulse that travels
to the surface being monitored and is reflected
off the surface back to the sensor. Both
transmitters can be programmed to simply send
a 4-20 mA analog output signal directly to an
existing control system or send data to a PC
running a calibration/data logging program using
RS-485 communications.

You have bulk-management challenges.
We have bulk management solutions.
Simple as that.

The new SmartSonic Transmitter features
high efficiency, narrow beam design
technology using a wide frequency
bandwidth to enhance operation in difficult
applications. The transmitter performs
particularly well in harsh environments
where vessel temperatures vary. Also,
SmartSonic uses smart signal processing
to eliminate unwanted echoes from tank
walls, standpipes, and other tank structures
that often cause error readings by other
ultrasonic devices. The units transducer
uses a built-in, self-cleaning operation to
eliminate buildup or condensation.
SmartSonic sensor probes are designed to
adapt to the internal tank conditions,
automatically adjusting power and receiver
sensitivity to any distance and reflecting
surface. This technology ensures the
same echo is maintained over the entire
operating range which enhances
measurement accuracy.

Simple, Rugged, Reliable
Point Level Detection
BinMaster rotaries are a proven, long-lasting solution for detecting low, mid and
high levels in bins, tanks and silos. A wide selection of three-vane, two-vane, col-
lapsible, insertable, and bayonet-style paddles are available to address materials
from one pound per cubic foot to 150 pounds per cubic foot. BinMaster offers the
widest selection of accessories to meet the challenges of all types of bulk solids
applications. The standard BMRX and MAXIMA+ genuine fail-safe rotaries are
designed and manufactured in BinMasters ISO 9001:2008 certifed facility in
Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.

BinMaster Rotary Level Indicators
for High & Low Level Detection
The rotary style level indicator is one of the most widely accepted and reliable point level switches used in powders and dry bulk solids.
BinMasters rotary indicators can be built to work in almost any dry bulk material when confgured with a variety of paddles, couplers and
extension options. They are designed to provide trouble-free installation, easy access to all components, and reliability through advanced
circuitry. Both the BMRX and MAXIMA+ fail-safe models provide the most cost-effective and easiest-to-implement solution for level
indication. BinMaster constantly applies new technology and designs new innovations into its rotaries to create a signifcantly advanced
and longer lasting rotary level indicator.
Advanced Design
BinMaster engineers continually build advanced features into the BMRX and MAXIMA+ rotaries to ensure reliable,
long-lasting performance.
De-Energizing Motor: BinMasters specially designed synchronous motor features
de-energized operation which shuts the motor down when material is present rather than remaining
in a stalled condition. This reduces wear and operating temperature, which extends motor life.
Built-In Slip Clutch: The motor has a built-in bi-directional slip-clutch that protects
the gear assembly from damage due to over rotation.
Four-Bearing Drive Shaft: Unlike other rotary level indicators, BinMaster rotaries
are built with a four-bearing drive shaft assembly. This unique design reduces motor
drag during paddle rotation.
Screw-Off Cover: BinMasters enclosure features a twist-off cover with no-bolt access
to the internal components of the rotary, making the unit easy to open for wiring or service.
Applications & Benefts
BinMaster rotaries are designed for controlling dry bulk material storage and fow in bins, hoppers, tanks, chutes and conveyors. Typical
applications include grain, feed, seed, food processing, cement, aggregates, plastics, chemicals, and wood products. These rotaries can
be used in materials with a bulk density as low as 1 lb/ft
3
(30 kg/m
3
) and as high as 150 lb/ft
3
(68 kg/m
3
). By managing material storage and
fow with BinMaster rotaries, you prevent bin overfows and costly spills, empty conditions, clogged chutes, and jammed conveyors. This
eliminates the need to climb bins to check levels, reduces material waste and unnecessary down time.
Principle of Operation
High Level Control During Filling
As a high level control, the paddle rotates continually when material
is not present. When material reaches the paddle, the resistance
causes the motor to rotate an actuator arm over to a limit switch
that is wired to some type of alarm or process equipment.
Low Level Control When Emptying
As a low level control, the paddle is stopped
and the motor is de-energized when
material is present. When material drops
below the paddle, an actuator arm
springs back into place, causing the
motor to re-energize and the paddle
starts rotating. This will send an
alert to an alarm or automatically
start up a process system.

BinMaster Builds a Better Rotary
Rotary level indicators have been around for more than 50 years and are the most frequently used point level device for dry bulk solids.
However, not all rotaries are created equal. BinMaster rotaries are designed with the most advanced features, offer the widest variety of
accessories and confguration options, and are built to Binmasters ISO 9001:2008 certifed processes to be the longest lasting, highest
performance rotary on the market.
BMRX for Simple,
Rugged, Reliable Operation
Advanced Rotary Design
BinMaster has built advanced technology and design features into the BMRX to create a
signifcantly advanced rotary level indicator that exceeds the performance of competitive
rotaries. The BMRX is designed to provide security from system power failure, easy access to
all components, and reliability for a long life. An explosion-proof housing is standard on all
rotaries. The BMRX is cost-effective and the easiest-to-implement solution for reliable
point level control.
Built for Long Life
A rotary level indicator is only as reliable as its motor. BinMaster builds the BMRX with a
specially designed synchronous motor that features de-energized operation. The motor
automatically shuts down when material is present rather than remaining in a stalled
condition. This reduces wear & tear and the operating temperature which extends motor
life. Plus, the motor features a built-in bi-directional slip-clutch that protects the gear assembly
from damage due to over rotation. Also standard is a four-bearing drive shaft assembly that
reduces motor drag during paddle rotation.
BMRX
Advanced Fail-Safe Protection
Alerts to Rotary Status
The MAXIMA+ operates much like the BMRX with the added beneft of providing immediate status
notifcation and corrective response. It the best choice for applications where it is essential that
continuous operation must be confrmed.
Red LED Indicator Light
A light on the top of the unit indicates the rotary
status, providing at a glance monitoring
of the unit. In the event of a motor failure
or if electricity is shut off to the rotary,
an immediate alert is sent. It also
provides a status notifcation when
the paddle stops rotating and is in
a covered condition and alerts
again when the paddle begins
to rotate as the bin is emptied
and the paddle is uncovered.

MAXIMA+ Genuine Fail-Safe Rotary
Innovative Fail-Safe design
The MAXIMA+ is BinMasters state-of-the-art microprocessor-based, fail-safe and fool-proof rotary level indicator. It has all of the benefts of the
BRMX, plus the ability to continuously self diagnose, and in the event of a failure, give an immediate warning and instantaneous corrective response.
This distinguishing feature makes the MAXIMA+ the ideal rotary for operations where it is crucial to confrm the continuous operation of the unit.
Immediate Status Notifcation
Knowing the status of the rotary saves both time and money by preventing overflling and empty
conditions. BinMasters MAXIMA+ rotary offers status notifcation that alerts to paddle rotation, a
covered condition, or fault condition via an LED light. A valuable feature not offered by every rotary
manufacturer, the MAXIMA+ is the best choice for applications where it is essential that the user be
knowledgeable of the unit status.
Visual Monitoring of Motor Status
The microprocessor-based MAXIMA+ rotary is completely fail-safe for mechanical and power
failures. The supervisory circuit monitors shaft rotation and determines if the paddles are not rotat-
ing because of a covered condition, mechanical failure, or a loss of power. The LED light has three
functions. A blinking light represents an uncovered condition and a paddle that is turning. A solid light
indicates a covered paddle or the switches are engaged. An unlit light indicates a failed condition.
Process Control Capability
Today, users demand more from their level controls than just material detectionthey also want genu-
ine fail-safe response. MAXIMA+ is designed for integration into process control systems. Its advanced
circuitry lets the user monitor material levels and automatically control the process system if there is
an unexpected unit failure or power loss. This means the MAXIMA+ provides maximum protection and
cost savings through added fexibility when designing a process control system.

Installation
wIthOUt
EntERIng
thE BIn
BinMaster makes installation of rotaries
easy with a single-blade or double-
blade insertable paddle that collapses
to ft through a standard 1-1/4 or 1-1/2
coupling, so there is no need to enter the
bin to install the rotary paddle. Whether
used with a standard rotary or with one
of BinMasters many steel or aluminum
extensions, the BMRX or MAXIMA+
can be installed easily by squeezing
the paddle and inserting it through the
opening. The paddle automatically
springs opens when it enters the bin.
Then the rotary can be installed by
screwing the rotary into the coupling or
mounting plate. The rotary can also be
easily removed by pulling the folding
paddle back through the opening. This
is ideal for concrete silos that have thick
walls or when a rotary is used to replace
a capacitance probe or vibrating rod.
The double-bladed
collapsible paddle
fits through a 1-1/4
or 1-1/2 opening.

Sealed Rotary Extension
BinMasters special rotary extension design includes a protec-
tive bearing at the bottom of the shaft that forms a seal between
the rotary shaft and the shaft guard. This bearing prevents bin
material from getting packed up into the extension and causing
the rotary to give a false full signal when the paddle stops
turning. A rotary extension can be integrated with either the
BinMaster MAXIMA+ or BMRX rotaries. An extended rotary can
also be used when side mounting or on angled rooftops.
Vertical Rotary Extension
for High Level Detection
Top-of-bin mounting for rotaries is ideal when the rotary is used as a high level alarm. Solid material
will tend to be higher at the flling point and most operators dont want any bin flled to the very top
and need to allow for a specifed amount of headroom in the bin. For top-of-bin applications, Bin-
Master manufactures to the length requested by the customer, offering custom lengths up to 144.
Horizontal Rotary
Extension for Thick Bin Walls
The horizontal rotary extension provides the ability to install a rotary on the side of a bin wall,
such as those in concrete silos, up to 12 thick. This extension design allows for rotaries to be
side-mounted with minimal risk of damage during operations. This optional assembly includes an
extended drive shaft with a protective shaft guard that keeps the shaft centered and BinMasters
no packing seal at the end of the shaft. Standard lengths of 6, 8, 10, or 12 are available for
both the MAXIMA+ or BMRX rotaries.
Sealed bearing prevents packing.

Rotaries for
Challenging Applications
Heat Tubes for High Temp Applications
When the external temperature outside the bin exceeds 140F (60C), an optional heat tube can be added to distance the elec-
tronics of the unit away from a heat source. They can also be used to extend the rotary beyond insulation on the outside of the
bin. Heat tubes can be used for top or side mounted applications with either the BMRX or MAXIMA+. They are available in
8 or 12 lengths in either aluminum or stainless steel.
Stainless Steel Process
Connection for Corrosive Materials
BinMasters optional stainless steel process connection was designed for corrosive
applications and can be used in conjunction with either the BMRX or MAXIMA+ ro-
tary. The 304 SS solid stainless steel ftting is available in both 1-1/4 and 1-1/2 NPT
sizes and comes with a stainless steel seal/bearing carrier. Rotaries equipped with
this connection are confgured so all materials that come into contact with the bin are
stainless steel, making it ideal for applications such as food processing or in caustic
materials.

Simple, Dependable
Operation in Tight Spaces
The Mini-Rotary has few moving parts and is simple to install on the side or top of
a bin. Its simple operation consists of a slow-speed synchronous motor rotating the
paddle which senses the pressure of the material at the level where the Mini-Rotary
is placed, detecting either high or low levels. It is appropriate for a variety of light to
heavy materials allowing for motor torque sensitivity to be easily adjusted.
Rotary technology ignores changing material characteristics that can cause other
point level devices to fail; it simply senses the presence or absence of materials.
A variety of paddles are available, making it suitable for a wide range of powder
or bulk solids. A four-vane polycarbonate paddle is appropriate for light to medium
density materials, while a bayonet style polycarbonate paddle is easily insertable
through a pipe ftting and can be used with higher density materials.
The Mini-Rotary is designed for controlling the level
of dry solids in small bins and hoppers that contain
plastics, food, seed, chemicals, and other powder or
bulk solid materials. It is easily integrated into process
manufacturing, installing into constrained spaces where
other types of equipment will not ft.
The economical and compact Mini-Rotary is designed for controlling material levels in smaller
bins and hoppers that contain plastics, food, seed, chemicals and other dry powder and bulk solid
materials. Its small size, yet rugged design allows for use of a level sensor where other types of
equipment simply will not ft. Its principle of operation is simple a slow speed motor rotates the
paddle when no material is present. Then, when material comes into contact with the paddle, the
paddle stops and an alert such as a light or horn will notify the operator the bin is full. When
the bin is emptied, the paddle again begins to rotate, alerting the operator that a refll is necessary.

And versatile, too
SmartBob2 can handle the demands of vir-
tually any application and vessel type. With numerous
sensor probe styles, the SmartBob2 effectively measures solids,
powders, liquids, or slurries. With a variety of mounting accesso-
ries, SmartBob2 can be used with almost any configuration of
silo, bin, or other bulk storage vessel.
Proven applications
SmartBob2 has measured it all. Whether its chunk coal in a coal-fired

SmartBob2 has been developed by BinMaster, the proven, trusted name in
inventory measurement systems. BinMaster employees put the needs of
our customers at the center of all we do. Were proud of our 40-year
history of service, quality, and integrity.
How SmartBob2 works
When a SmartBob2 positioned on the
top of a vessel is asked to take a
measurement, a heavy-duty motor
releases a strong, stainless steel
aircraft cable from the supply
pulley and a weighted sensor
probe quickly descends to the
surface of the material.
During the descent, the SmartBob2 measures the cable dispensed by
counting pulses with a high resolution micro-controlled optical sens-
ing system. When the sensor probe touches the material surface, pulses
are momentarily stopped and measurement information is transmit-
ted. The absence of pulses also causes the motor to reverse and retract
the sensor probe. A second confirming measurement is taken as the
probe retracts and is compared to the descend measurement.
As the probe is retracted, motor torque is automatically reduced during
the last 12 of the retract cycle resulting in a soft retract seating, which
extends the life of the SmartBob2 and ensures proper cable spooling.

Introduction
SureDrop
BinMasters new SureDrop cable release system eliminates the
sensor probe from sticking due to material buildup or freezing. The
Teflon cap and lower Teflon ball seal the SmartBob2 mechanical
cavity completely eliminating problems created by dust contaminating
the unit when its not taking a measurement. Should the Teflon
cap stick when a measurement cycle is initiated, the sensor probe
will begin to descend and the ball thats crimped to the cable
directly above the cap will drop and strike the cap with the full
weight of the sensor probe to dislodge it. The top Teflon ball
protects the cable and crimp.

Manage critical inventory levels
efficiently with real-time data
on-demand
Improve your efficiency and optimize inventory levels with accessible
real-time data. The powerful eBob information management system
communicates preset or on-demand readings to any authorized
PC loaded with eBob software.

Remote and vendor
managed inventory
Remote Managed Inventory (RMI) provides a more efficient method of
product management between a supplier and customer. The use of a
remote managed inventory system to monitor and control the usage of
raw materials has brought important real-time benefits to a wide range
of industries, especially where bulk materials and liquids are a vital part
of their process. This system allows vendors to keep a constant check on
supplies of raw material at a particular customer site. By studying trends
in usage, they can optimize their manufacturing schedules to meet expect-
ed demand and forward plan their delivery logistics. Vendor Managed
Inventory (or VMI) is the process in which a vendor assumes responsibility
for managing the inventory of a product at a customers site. Timely inven-
tory and usage data is essential to the Vendor Managed Inventory process.

eBob PC-based inventory tracking software was
developed exclusively for use with SmartBob2 sensors.
The eBob software provides the real-time inventory and usage data and
the SmartBob2 sensor is a widely accepted method of reliably measur-
ing bulk materials and liquids.

Discover the power of eBob
The eBob software is a powerful innovation in silo inventory management.
The eBob allows inventory tracking from any local PC loaded with eBob
software. The eBob software gathers data from our SmartBob2 sensors
to monitor inventory levels in up to 100 vessels.
The powerful software provides an unsurpassed graphical
representation of critical inventory data, including:
vessel number and group (view data
for up to 16 vessels at one time)
vessel contents and title
distance to product (headroom)
height of product
vessel percent full
product weight
product volume
date/time of last and next measurement
status of measurement device (descending,
retracted, inactive, plus error messages)
strapping tables for non-linear vessels.
A second detail screen provides an expanded data readout for any
individual vessel.
Automatic measurements
The eBob system can be programmed to take automatic measurements
at preset intervals and allows you to send vital information via email.

Vessel shape correction
When the SmartBob2 sensor measurement exceeds the straight wall
vessel height, a cone volume correction can be set up. The correction
factor models the cone section of a vessel by applying a height and radius
to multiple bands or sections of the cone and subtracting this from the
overall volume. Alternatively, cone volume correction can be done by
entering data into a strapping table.
Automatic alerts
Alarm settings provide automatic notification alerts via email if critical
inventory levels are reached.
Data history and trending
Microsoft Access compatible files store current and historical measure-
ment data. All data can be easily transferred to other software programs
for data analysis or archiving. A basic reporting screen provides compre-
hensive data from the last measurement of each vessel. A string report
is also available to show a history trend of the past 30 measurements
for each vessel.
Access vessel data instantly
with the C-100 Console
The C-100 Console is the most popular way to remotely initiate and
view vessel measurements.
Whether you use SmartBob2 sensors with or without the eBob software ,
the C-100 Console gives you instant measurement readings with the
push of a button. This compact, manually-operated console can control
from 1 to 128 SmartBob2 sensors.
When you are using the eBob software, there are still times you may
want to initiate readings independently from a remote locationsuch
as a truck load out station. You can
make numerous measurements without
affecting the eBob softwares long-
term data memory or trending
information.
Individual bin heights are programmed
into the C-100 Console and measure-
ments are displayed as distance to
product, height of product, and percent full. The display also indicates
the status of the Bob during the measurement cycle. Most recent bin
heights and percent full data is retained in the C-100 Console's
memory, even in instances of power loss.

and percent full data of the most recent measurements are retained in the C-100 Console's memory, even in instances of power loss. A C-100 MB
option allows control of a SmartBob sensor network via a Modbus interface.
Remote Start Unit (RSU)
The RSU provides a variety of enhancements to the SmartBob2 system: an external start input, a 4-20 mA current loop (analog) output, and a remote
display or remote readout of the measurements. These enhancements allow for a simple interface between the SmartBob2 Sensor and Programmable
Logic Controllers (PLC) or Distributed Control Systems (DCS). The PLC \ DCS can initiate a measurement by providing a dry contact closure to the RSU.
The PLC can then retrieve the measurement from the analog 4-20 mA current loop output on the RSU. The remote readout feature allows you to view
the current measurement information at each vessel or in a control room away from the controlling PLC or DCS. The display provides distance to product,
height of product, percentage of product in the storage vessel, and status of the Bob. The most recent measurement and user information is stored in
non-volatile memory (data is retained even in event of power loss).
SmartBob2 MUCM communication module
The MUCM is a communication module capable of translating the SmartBob2 serial protocol to Modbus RTU, Ethernet, DeviceNet
TM
, Modbus Plus
TM
, or
Profibus protocols. The example below shows a Modbus serial master gathering data from three SmartBob2 Sensors. The data from each SmartBob2
sensor is presented as a Modbus Holding Register (4x). Each Bob is assigned a unique Modbus slave address. A special Modbus slave address of 247
is provided to initiate a measurement and to give a summary of all the measurements from the SmartBob2 Remotes in the network.

Wireless data transmitters
BinMasters wireless data transceiver eliminates the need for running long spans of communication cable by providing affordable, two-way wireless
data communication between SmartBob2 sensors mounted high on top of storage vessels and a control source on the ground. BinMasters long-range
wireless data transceiver operates in the license-free portion of the FCC designated industrial frequency band at 900 MHz. Designed to work in high
interference environments, the wireless transceivers combine advanced frequency hopping and digital signal processing technology with outstanding
receiver sensitivity and antenna diversity, resulting in exceptional noise and interference rejection and peace of mind for you. Wireless data networks can
be effective in new SmartBob2 installations, as an alternative to wired connections. They can also be used to expand the capabilities of existing systems.
A Point-to-Point single network wireless solution eliminates running RS-485 communication cable from the control source on the ground
to the first SmartBob2 sensor in a single grouping of vessels.

Multiple Sensors,
One Average Level
More Measurement Data, Better Decision Making
The MultiBob system has applications across many industries and material types. Unless it is a liquid, the material in a
bin is likely to be uneven. Some industries, such as cement, power and food processing tend to deal with challenging
materials like limestone, fy ash or four that can be challenging to measure. Large diameter bins such as 105 wide, or
million-bushel bins often found in the grain and ethanol industries can have high and low spots due to multiple flling and
emptying sites. Even smaller diameter bins, such as those containing pellets, granules, or other free fowing ingredients
might have material higher or lower in the center or on one side of the bin.
The MultiBob system allows two or more SmartBob sensors to
be mounted in a single bin. The measurement data from each
sensor is averaged in the advanced eBob software based upon
user-defned parameters to provide a single level measurement
for the bin. By taking measurements in multiple locations, there is
more detailed data available to users about the material in their
bin. Depending on how many SmartBob sensors are mounted
in the bin, the user can use the data to determine conditions such as cone up or cone down, whether there might be a
high or low spot in the bin, and which flling or emptying points they want to target in multiple-fll, multiple-discharge
point bins.
Any bin where the user wants more measuring points

MultiBob System Applications
Simple to Set Up,
Easy to Configure
Based upon their data needs, users can determine how many SmartBob
sensors to install in the bin. The MultiBob system can be set up for two
SmartBob2 sensors, or up to 32 sensors in a single bin, warehouse or storage facility. The
software allows measurements to be scheduled at predetermined time intervals. Users can
customize the timing of measurements to suit their operations. Plus, if a real-time measurement
is needed, the eBob software can be used to initiate an on-demand measurement and
immediately report the data.
A percent value can be assigned to each sensor to prioritize
the infuence each sensor has on the average level. For
example, the input from each sensor can be divided evenly
so each sensor has an equal infuence on the average
level OR if the end user wants one or two sensors to have
a greater infuence on the average, a higher percentage
of infuence can be assigned. The total percentage for all
sensors must always add up to 100 percent.
Upon opening the eBob software, the user can view all of the
bins in the network and choose how they want to view the
data. The software provides the percentage full and average
level or headroom and what material is contained in the bin.
By clicking on a single bin, the user can view the detail screen
for a particular bin that includes all of the SmartBob sensors
associated with that bin. The MultiBob system reports the
individual measurements for each SmartBob sensor used to
create the average level (or headroom) and percentage full.
SmartBob sensors are highly reli-
able, accurate and affordable
No need to climb tanks to take mea-
surements, saving time and increas-

Users can initiate an on-demand

Multiple sensors detect high and low
spots in the bin
Placing a sensor in the center of the
bin can indicate cone up or cone
down conditions
MultiBob is Smart,
Simple and Safe
Two-Sensor Setup Can Indicate
Cone Up or Down Conditions

Installing two SmartBob sensors in a center fll, center discharge bin is a
simple solution for operations that want to know if the material in the bin is
in a cone up or cone down condition. It is recommended that one sensor is
mounted one-sixth of the distance from the outer perimeter of the bin. This
location is proven to deliver a high level of accuracy by accounting for the
angle of repose in a center fll, center discharge bin containing free fowing
material. The second SmartBob sensor should be mounted near the center
of the bin, but away from the fll stream.
Sensor 1 is mounted one-sixth from the outer perimeter. Sensor 2
is mounted near the center away from the fll stream.
The two sensor confguration is ideal for any facility that
would fnd knowing whether the bin is cone up or cone down
is benefcial to operations. This confguration can be applied
to all types of industries, materials and diameter bins. The
additional data from the SmartBob sensor mounted near the
center of the bin can be used to help notify personnel that a
bin is nearly empty or full.
When measurements are taken, a higher level (or smaller
headroom distance) from the SmartBob sensor near the
center of the bin can indicate a cone up condition. Conversely,
a lower level (or greater headroom distance) from the
SmartBob center near the center of the bin can indicate the
cone is down. When a two-sensor confguration is set up in
this manner, it is recommended that the SmartBob sensor
mounted one-sixth of the distance from the outer perimeter of
the bin is assigned 100 percent of the value, as the location
of this sensor will provide the most accurate volume estimate.
Measurements can be scheduled any time while the bin is
emptying or after a flling cycle is complete.
The higher measurement at the
center indicates a cone up condition.
Operations with large active binssuch as fertil-
izer will beneft from multiple sensors.
Multiple-Sensor Setup Detects High
and Low Spots, plus Cone Up or Down
By installing multiple SmartBob sensors in the bin, it is also possible to
detect if material is accumulating in one or more measurement points
in the bin. In this example, there are four sensors mounted around
the outer perimeter of the bin, each one-sixth the distance from
the outer perimeter with one sensor each on the north, south,
east and west in equal distances from one another. The ffth
SmartBob sensor is mounted near the center of the bin, but
away from the fll stream.
Sensors 1 to 4 are mounted one-sixth for the outer perimeter.
Sensor 5 is mounted near the center, away from the fll stream.
The multi-sensor confguration is also helpful in bins where there are
multiple flling and emptying points. By viewing the level data from
each sensor, decisions can be made regarding the most optimal
location to fll the bin to optimize storage capacity or which emptying
point is best to pull material. This confguration is very well suited
to large diameter bins where material is likely to accumulate due
to flling and emptying sites. Multiple measurements will indicate
where the high and low spots exist. Any operation that wants better
data about the material in their bin will beneft from the multi-sensor
confguration.
When measurements are taken, the eBob software allows the user to view the
percentage full and average distance, or headroom if preferred based on user-
defned values for each sensor. Additionally, the level data for each SmartBob
sensor can be viewed to allow the user to check for high spots in the bin. For
example, a higher level on the west wall of the bin may indicate that material
is accumulating in that area. As with the two-sensor confguration, a higher
measurement (or smaller headroom distance) from the center SmartBob
sensor can indicate a cone up condition, while a lower measurement (or
a greater headroom distance) from the center sensor can indicate the
cone is down. For the most reliable volume estimate, it is recommended
that the four sensors at the outer perimeter each be given a value of
25 percent and the center sensor is valued at zero, using the fifth
measurement for cone up or down indication.
These measurements indicate cone down
and a higher level on the South sensor.

MultiBob is a Better
Bin Management Tool
MultiBob Application Examples
The BinMaster MultiBob System is a tool to better manage
the contents of a bin, tank or silo by providing data from more
than one SmartBob sensor. The display screen for each bin
supplies a wealth of information that can be used for better
decision making and to streamline operations by eliminating
the need to climb and manage bins one at a time. Simply log
in to eBob to view the levels of all bins in the network at a
glance. The bin network can include bins with just one sensor
or bins with multiple sensors.
Wide Diameter Bins
In the grain industry, the MultiBob
system is ideal for large diameter bins
such as 105 or 132 diameter bins. The
eBob software can indicate cone up or
down and if material is accumulating on
one or more sides of the bin.
Million Bushel Bins
Grain bins with capacity of a million bushels
or more are ideal candidates for a MultiBob
system. SmartBob sensors can be installed
in key locations where having measurement
data is most critical, such as for detecting
high and low spots to optimize flling and
emptying points in the bin..
Multiple Bins on Site
Locations with multiple bins of all sizes, such as cement,
chemical, and plastics plants or food processing facilities
and feed mills will fnd a SmartBob system of great value.
By installing a MultiBob system in the large and variable
bins and a single SmartBob sensor on smaller or less
challenging bins, a facility can view the levels of all of its
bins from the eBob software from the comfort of an offce.
Optimize Vessel Management
Flat Storage
Warehouses
The MultiBob system can also
be used in long warehouses to
measure the height of piles in up to
32 different locations and provide
an average pile height. MultiBob
systems can be installed in fat
grain storage warehouses along
trusses or conveyors.
Sensors are mounted from roof
structure, conveyors or trusses
at desired locations.
Each vessel can be set up to take
scheduled measurements at pre-
determined time intervals.
Vessel history and tabular measurement
data are stored in a SQL database.
Customize Data with
Strapping Tables
Entering a custom strapping table is helpful in
a non-linear vessel or in material that tends to
compact.

The advanced eBob software allows the user to add a strapping table to the bin parameters to further personalize the
data for a particular bin. Strapping tables are helpful when the material in the bin tends to compact and the bulk density
of the material is higher at the bottom of the bin than the top. In a non-linear vessel, the addition of a strapping table
will improve the estimated volume of material in the tank.
The strapping table information is entered by the
user into the eBob software. The user simply inserts
the number of pounds, bushels, tons or other units
of measurement based upon a specifc distance or
range of distances. There is no limit to the number of
values that can be entered into the strapping table, so
the data can be as detailed as needed if the material
density is highly variable from the bottom to the top,
or the bin is very tall.

SmartBob AO
SmartBob AO with 4-20 mA Output

SmartBob2 AO
Direct 4-20 mA analog
output
Alternative to using
consoles or software
Simple user interface to
confgure the sensor
Measures bins
automatically in
timed intervals
Two relays confgurable
with four different
options
Initiate measurements
via interval timer or
external start input
Two current source
options for supplying
power to 4-20
current loop
The SmartBob AO features a direct 4-20 mA analog output.
The SmartBob AO is a weight
and cable-based, stand-alone
continuous level sensor
featuring direct analog
output. A simple push-button
user interface built into the
SmartBob AO circuitry is used
to confgure the bin parameters
and assign the functionality of the relays.
As all programming is done within the device, the
SmartBob AO eliminates any need for additional
operator interface displays or software loaded onto
a PC. Once programmed, the parameters for the
bin are saved in the non-volatile memory of the
SmartBob AO.
Continuous Bin Level Monitoring
The SmartBob AO with built-in 4-20 mA output can easily replace any 4-20
device by simply installing the SmartBob on the top of the bin and wiring the
sensor to the existing 4-20 input. When the SmartBob AO takes a measurement,
it automatically transmits an updated analog signal containing the measurement
data. The SmartBob AO can be programmed to initiate a measurement utilizing
an internal timer to take readings at a predetermined time interval or an external
start input can be used to take a measurement immediately, should one be
needed. Two confgurable relay outputs can be used to alert to measurement
status or high, low or error alarms.
Simple Setup & Configuration
The SmartBob AO level sensor requires standard
115 VAC or 230 VAC power. There are two current source
options for supplying power. The recommended option is
to use an isolated 4-20 mA current loop which uses the
PLC to provide power. Alternatively, a non-isolated
4-20 mA current loop can utilize the SmartBob sensor
to provide power for the loop.
Level & Status Data
The SmartBob AO features two relays that are confgu-
rable by the user. There are four different relay options that
can be selected in any combination including measurement
status (measurement in process), high level alarm, low
level alarm or error alarm (Bob did not take a measure-
ment). Other competitive devices only feature a single relay
option, making the SmartBob AO more fexible by provid-
ing additional status data to the user. Other benefts of the
SmartBob AO include the output of a 22 mA error signal if
the SmartBob AO should encounter a stuck top or stuck
bottom condition and a soft start feature that reduces wear
on the motor.
The interval timer is used to program the SmartBob AO
to initiate a measurement in pre-determined time intervals
such as every two, four or eight hours. An external start
input can be used to initiate a measurement on demand.
Additionally, an override input feature can be used to turn
the measurement feature off, disabling the measurement
function. The override feature is useful when flling tanks to
avoid covering the SmartBob probe with material or to stop
measurements when a bin is undergoing maintenance or
cleaning.

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 sensors
design includes a standard air purge ftting that can be plumbed
to add dry air and help keep the sensor cavity dry. The
SmartBob SS is ftted with either a stainless steel,
Tefon-jacketed cable or a durable nylon cable with
stainless fttings that stands up to corrosive materials.
Measures Submersed
Solids Under Water
SmartBob SS
BinMasters 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 refning,
chemical processing, and salt and metal mining.

Solutions for Multiple Tank Operations
If the operation has multiple tanks in multiple locations, BinMaster offers the C-50 analog expansion console to accommodate
multiple analog outputs for one up to 120 tanks. The C-50 analog expansion console interfaces with the C-100 control
console to provide multiple 4-20 mA outputs, enabling monitoring of multiple tanks equipped
with SmartBob SS sensors from a single C-100 console. Another multiple bin monitoring
alternative is eBob software which is loaded on a PC and allows for tank measurements
to be viewed on a computer screen inside an offce. The Windows-compatible software
enables viewing of up to 16 tanks at a time and for color-coding of tanks by material or tank
location. eBob can be set up to send automated email alerts if tanks get below or above a
preset level. eBob software is easy to use and requires no special training or support.
Accurate, Real-Time Measurements
The control console reports the distance to the solid material (headroom), height of the solid material, and percentage the
tank is full of solid material. One control console can monitor one bin or can be networked to report information from up to
128 tanks to one console. Sending all information to a single console eliminates the need to
climb bins to check tank levels or walking from one bin to the next. Each tank is assigned a
number and the tank parameters including the height and diameter for each bin are entered
into the console using a push-button key pad. Measurements are taken by selecting the tank
to be measured, pressing a button, and the measurement is promptly taken and displayed
on the console. The tank height and diameter information as well as the last measurement
taken are retained in the consoles memory, even in the event of a power loss. The console is
contained in an impact resistant enclosure and is installed in a metal electrical box or cabinet.
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 a C-100 control console mounted at ground level or to a personal computer loaded
with eBob software. A standard 4-20 analog output can also be used to send data directly to an
existing control system from the C-100.

Inventory Measurement System
SmartBob-TS1 tank sensor provides years of
maintenance-free service in vessels up to 60 feet.
SmartBob-TS1
Introduction
Designed for smaller vessels
The SmartBob-TS1 sensor is an economical and compact inventory
tracking system that has been designed for use in smaller tanks and
silos. The small yet rugged design allows you to use SmartBob-TS1
in vessels up to 60 feet tall.
Reliable under difficult conditions
The SmartBob-TS1 delivers reliable level data in applications where
other technologies simply wont work. SmartBob-TS1 has become
widely accepted as the standard measuring technology for reliable
measurement of bulk solids. The SmartBob-TS1 measuring principle
combines reliability with simplicity in a wide variety of applications.
Real smart
The SmartBob-TS1 is compatible with its predecessor the
SmartBob2, which can be used in bins up to 180 feet tall. This
allows you to combine the two sensors into one common system.
Weve made the best inventory measurement system even bet-
ter, providing the most cost-effective and easiest-to-implement
solution for maximizing your inventory control.
And versatile, too
SmartBob-TS1 can handle the demands of virtually any
application and vessel type. With numerous sensor probe
styles, the SmartBob-TS1 effectively measures solids, powders,
liquids, or slurries. With a variety of mounting accessories, SmartBob-
TS1 can be used with almost any configuration of silo, bin, or other
bulk storage vessels.
Proven applications
Whether its ground feed in a silo on a farm or fine granular solids in a
plastic processors material storage silo, SmartBob-TS1 has the power
and flexibility to handle it. Airborne dust, filling noise, steam, temperature,
or steep coned bottoms pose no problem to SmartBob-TS1. Its capable
of measuring all your liquids, large granular, powders and dry bulk solids.
High resolution microcontrolled optical sensing system
Heavy duty direct drive reversible motor with electronic torque control
provides maximum pull strength
Optional built-in 900 MHz wireless modem
Dual-sided idler arm eliminates any slack in cable and stops cable from
jumping off pulleys
Braided nylon cable, designed for the toughest applications
Rotational molded polyethylene housing
Fully sealed compartments protect the electronics from dust, debris,
condensation and other contaminants
How SmartBob-TS1 works
When a SmartBob-TS1 positioned on the top of
a vessel is asked to take a measurement, a
rugged motor releases a nylon cable from the
supply pulley and a weighted sensor probe
descends to the surface of the material.
During the descent, the SmartBob-TS1 measures
the cable dispensed by counting pulses with a
high resolution microcontrolled optical sensing
system. When the sensor probe touches the material
surface, pulses are momentarily stopped and measure-
ment information is transmitted. The absence of pulses also
causes the motor to reverse and retract the sensor probe.
A second confirming measurement is taken as the probe
retracts and is compared to the descend measurement.
As the probe is retracted, motor torque is automatically
reduced during the last 12 of the retract cycle resulting
in a soft retract seating which extends the life of the
SmartBob-TS1 and ensures proper cable spooling.
Communication
Accessories
Remotely initiate and view vessel measurements.
Control Console (C-100)
This compact, manually operated console can control
up to 128 SmartBob-TS1 sensors with the push of a
button. Individual bin heights are programmed to the
console and measurements are displayed as distance
to product, height of product, and percent full.
Modbus Control Console (C-100MB)
The BinMaster C-100MB is a compact control console that allows control of
a SmartBob sensor network via a Modbus interface, simplifying bin inven-
tory management for organizations that utilize the Modbus communication
protocol routinely in their operations. The C-100MB console provides an
RTU (remote terminal unit) output to a PLC (programmable logic controller)
or HMI (human machine interface).
Remote Start Unit (RSU)
The RSU provides an external start input, a 4-20 mA
current loop output, and a remote read-out of the
measurement. The RSU allows for a simple interface
between the SmartBob-TS1 sensor and a PLC or
DCS system. The PLC/DCS initiates the measure-
ment by providing a dry contact closure and then can
retrieve the measurement from a 4-20 mA output.
eBob Software
The eBob software allows convenient inventory track-
ing from a PC inside an office. The eBob software
gathers data from up to 100 SmartBob-TS1 sensors.
The powerful software provides an unsurpassed graph-
ical representation of critical inventory data, including:
Wireless Data Transmitter
Eliminates the need for running long spans of communication
cable by providing two-way wireless data communication
between SmartBob-TS1 sensors mounted on top of storage
vessels and the control source on the ground. A wireless
modem can be installed in one SmartBob-TS1 per group
and the remainder of the sensors hardwired. Or, wireless
modems can be installed in all SmartBob-TS1 sensors.

The SmartBob C-100 Console is the easiest way to remotely
initiate and view measurements from multiple
SmartBob2 or SmartBob-TS1 sensors. This
compact, manually-operated console provides
fast measurement readings from one up to 128
SmartBob sensors at a single location with
the push of a button. The SmartBob Console
can be used alone or integrated into a network
using eBob software. It provides basic, local control and
monitoring of a single SmartBob remote or a network of
up to 128 SmartBob remotes at a networked site.
Just one SmartBob C-100 Console can measure up to
128 SmartBob sensors on a single network
whereas previously, one Remote Start
Unit (RSU) was required for each
SmartBob. This 1:128 versus a 1:1
ratio means a SmartBob system re-
quires far less equipment to measure
many more vessels, making it an extremely
cost effective solution. A Modbus compatible version
the C- 100MB provides a communication interface
between the Modbus master and the SmartBob sensors.

Non-Contact
Level Measurement
The BinMaster SmartSonic ultrasonic sensor is used for continuous non-contact
level measurement in tanks, bins, silos and conveyors. It works by transmitting an
ultrasonic pulse of pressurized air to the surface of the material in a vessel. The pulse
refects off the material and returns to the sensor in the form of an echo that is received
by a microphone. The sensor then sends a 4 20 mA analog output signal to record the
measurement directly to an existing control system or display module, and can send
data to a PC running utility and diagnostic software. For those users who routinely
utilize Modbus in their operation, Modbus RTU communications are available.
Eliminates False Echoes
The SmartSonic ultrasonic level sensor features high effciency, narrow beam
design technology using a wide frequency bandwidth to enhance operation in diffcult
applications. The sensor performs particularly well in harsh environments where vessel
temperatures vary. Also, SmartSonic uses smart signal processing to eliminate unwanted
echoes from tank walls, standpipes, and other tank structures that often cause error
readings by other ultrasonic devices. The units transducer uses a built-in, self-cleaning
operation to eliminate buildup or condensation that can impair performance.
Auto-Adjusts for Higher Accuracy
SmartSonic sensors are designed to adapt to the internal tank conditions,
automatically adjusting power and receiver sensitivity to any distance and
refecting surface. This technology ensures the same echo is maintained
over the entire operating range which enhances measurement accuracy.
The net beneft is the SmartSonic ultrasonic sensor has a low incidence of
false echoes, which are common among competitive ultrasonic products.
The SmartSonic beam is very uniform and automatically controlled in
the advanced electronics of the sensor design, allowing the sensor
to perform where some competitive ultrasonic devices have failed.
Works in Liquids or Solids
The SmartSonic ultrasonic level sensor can be used in a wide range of materials
including oil, water, municipal waste, acids, aggregates and solids. There are many
models featuring different operating ranges dependent on the size of the tank in which
the device will be installed. SmartSonic is applied in most all types of liquids, from
simple substances like water to more challenging liquid applications such as oils and
syrups. For solids applications, the 45UC model may be used in smaller vessels with
a solids measuring range of approximately half the distance for that of liquids. Simple
push-button calibration makes SmartSonic easy to program and highly accurate. Built-
in temperature compensation and self-cleaning operation of the sensor face make
SmartSonic highly reliable, while requiring minimal maintenance.

for SmartSonic
Liquids
Due to their even surface, liquids are generally simple to measure
with a SmartSonic ultrasonic sensor. SmartSonic has been proven
to work in simple liquids like water and wastewater as well as more
challenging liquids. SmartSonics advanced design with its narrow
beam and ability to eliminate false echoes allows for success in
challenging applications such as when the sensor must be mounted
close to a wall or there are tank obstructions that must be blocked
out to avoid measuring inaccuracies.
Solids
SmartSonic is suited to a variety of solids applications. The sensor
can be installed in a bin, tank, silo or over a conveyor. SmartSonics

Vibrating Rod
Introduction
Description

BinMasters vibrating rod is a piezoelectric driven
vibration type level switch that detects high, mid
and low levels in bins, silos, and hoppers filled with
powders or dry bulk solid materials.
High performance and reliability

The single rod design with its sharp edged
vibrating blade prevents bridging of material
typically associated with the
tuning fork design. The
sword shaped blade also
lets material easily flow by,
and thus prevents material
buildup.
Material sticking on the vessel wall has no
influence on the function of the vibrating
rod. All vibrating rod sensors are tip
sensitive, allowing them to overlook
sidewall buildup.
No false alarms due to rat-holing
around the active sensor. The
vibrating rod is driven with very
low energy and will not dig a hole
and cause false alarms.
Fine tuning the vibrating system
enables the instrument to reliably
detect extremely light material with
densities down to 1.25 lb./cu. ft.
Not affected by material characteristics

BinMasters vibrating rod principle of operation over-
comes difficulties associated with changes in
dielectric constant, humidity, temperature, and
material density. There are three sensitivity settings
selected by a sensitivity switch on the sensor
board:
Position A: High sensitivity for light and
fluffy materials
Position B: Medium sensitivity
Position C: Low sensitivity for materials that
may form a deposit on the rod
and heavier materials
How it works
BinMasters vibrating level sensors are piezoelec-
tric devices with a single blade shaped vibrating
element. The blade of the sensor vibrates if there
is no material covering the active ele-
ment. When the blade is covered, the
vibration is dampened by material and
an electronic circuit forces a relay to
switch indicating a covered condition.
When the blade is uncovered, the
vibration will restart and the relay will
indicate an uncovered condition.
The blade design is carefully balanced
to provide a very low loss tip sensi-
tive vibrating system and requires a
very small amount of energy to keep the
system vibrating. In application, the vibrat-
ing blade is driven by a piezo crystal excited
by the electronics system. The driving signal
changes the physical shape of the piezo crys-
tal which causes the mechanical vibration of
the blade, much like a piezo type loudspeaker.
The perfectly balanced mechanical system then
resonates at the frequency of the drive signal. A
second piezo crystal is used to detect the vibration
of the blade, in turn signaling to the electronics if
the blade is covered or not.

Detects Solids under a Liquid
The BinMaster vibrating rod for sediment level detection is specially designed to detect solid material that has settled in a tank
containing liquids. It is used to detect when a layer of solid material reaches a specifc level in a tank. The vibrating rod will vibrate in
water and will stop vibrating when the solid material reaches the level
of the probe. When wired to a horn or alarm panel, personnel can be
alerted when the sediment has reached the probe and the sediment
needs to be removed from the tank.
The BinMaster vibrating rod for sediment level detection comes in
two different models. The VR-21 SED is the standard model with a
7.37 insertion length and is recommended for use on the tank wall.
The VR-41 SED model is a rigid extended vibrating rod for top mounting
applications and is custom made with extensions from 13 up to
13 long, dependent on the needs of the application.
Alerts to High Sediment Level
The VR-21 SED and VR-41 SED are commonly used in the water and wastewater
industry where the sensor is used to detect the level of salt, lime, chemicals, silt and
sediment that has settled in tanks at water treatment plants. The VR-21 SED and
VR-41 SED can also be used for other applications in food and beverage manufacturing,
chemical or metal processing, pulp and paper making, and at mining operations.
Applications include measuring sediment in brine tanks or soak tanks, detecting sand
or silt that has settled in tanks at quarries or mines, timely removal of sand and dirt at
pumping stations or measuring manure or compost that has settled in refuse vessels.
Alternative uses include detecting the level of materials such as ash, carbon, lime, silt and
mud once they have settled under water.
Another common use for the VR-21 SED and VR-41 SED is to detect coarse and fne
sediment in tanks at hydroelectric power stations. It is important that the sediment does
not reach the turbines and interfere with their operation and potentially damage them.
Preventing sediment from reaching the level of the turbines extends the service life of the
turbines by allowing the settled debris to be removed automatically before it interferes
with their operation. Removing sediment from the tank only when it reaches a high level
reduces the need for cyclical fushing and triggers an automatic cleaning only when it is
needed, allowing for optimal utilization of the turbine.
Vibrating Rod for Sediment Level Detection
Vibrating Rod SED
Standard and Extended Length Models
The VR-21 SED is BinMasters standard piezoelectric-driven, vibration-type point level switch, which has an insertion length of
7.37. Although more commonly used in side-mounting applications, it is suitable for both top and side mounting applications and is
ideal for a wide variety of industries. The VR-41 SED is intended for top mounting locations and is available in custom lengths from
13 up to 13. A rigid one-inch pipe extension is available in galvanized or stainless steel dependent on the material application.
Unique Single-Blade Design
The VR-21 SED and VR-41 SED feature a unique single-rod probe design
with a sword-shaped blade that allows material to easily fow by the sensor and
settle on the bottom of the tank.

available to alert to tank levels for
up to 24 individual vibrating rods.
Designed for Tight Spaces
Simple, Dependable Operation
Single Rod Design Not Affected
by Material Characteristics
Ideal for small bins,
hoppers, and feeders
The CVR-600 compact vibrating rod is an economical, single rod,
compact point level control that has been designed for use in small
bins and hoppers. The small yet rugged design allows the CVR-600
to be used in pellets, grain or other dry granular solid applications
where other level sensors simply wont ft.
The signal from the electronic circuit of the CVR-600 excites the
single rod of the instrument to vibrate on its resonance frequency of
approximately 460 Hz. When material covers the rod of the probe, the
vibration stops. This is sensed by the electronic circuitry which forces
its output relay to switch. When the blade becomes uncovered, the
vibration will restart and the relay will switch back.
The CVR-600 vibrating rod principle overcomes diffculties associated
with changes in dielectric constant, humidity, temperature, and
material density. The single rod design eliminates the problem of false
signaling due to material wedging and buildup associated with tuning
fork type probes. The CVR-600 is designed for reliable point level
sensing in small bins and hoppers that contain plastics, food, seed,
chemicals, and other pellets or dry granular solid materials.

Accurate Volume Measurement
for Powders & Bulk Solids
The BinMaster 3DLevelScanner uses non-contact, dust-
penetrating technology to provide unsurpassed bin volume
accuracy. Unlike single point devices, it works by measuring
multiple points within the bin. This advanced acoustics-based
technology is proven to perform in powders and bulk solids
contained in tanks, silos, warehouses, and even open bins
and piles. Its unique 3D mapping capabilities provide a visual
representation of bin contents, detecting cone up or down as
well as sidewall buildup.

Non-Contact, Dust Penetrating
Bin Volume Measurement
Using patented acoustics-based technology, the
BinMaster 3DLevelScanner measures bin contents
at multiple points making it one of the most accurate
devices on the market today. Its advanced, low-frequency
technology penetrates dust, allowing it to perform
reliably where other technologies have failed.
The 3DLevelScanner provides a scaled 420 mA output that can represent either the product or headroom volume. A digital HART
communication signal superimposed on the 420 mA cable can enable two-way feld communications, allowing for additional
information beyond the normal process variable to be communicated to the 3DLevel Manager software. Multiple scanners can be
directly connected via a RS-485 network to a PC running the 3DLevel Manager software or to multiple computers on a network using
TCP/IP via a RS-485 network. Alternatively, a Modbus implementation can utilize the RS-485 network to send data. Theoretically, it is
possible for up to 64 scanners to be polled on one RS-485 network.
Works in Dust
The 3DLevelScanner uses a very low frequency acoustical signal to penetrate dust and take measurements which are determined
by how long the signal takes to travel to solid or powder material and return to the device. These very low frequency acoustical
signals are able to penetrate suspended dust, unlike other technologies whose signals become confused when attempting to
take measurements in dusty environments. The acoustical signals, combined with a non-stick material, prevent material from
adhering to the internal workings of the device ensuring long-term reliable performance. The 3DLevelScanner is self cleaning,
offering very low maintenance in even the dustiest environments.

Inside the unit is clean and fully operational. Outer unit is coated with buildup from dust.
Multiple Point Measurement
Ensures High Accuracy
Unlike conventional technologies that measure one point and determine a single distance, the 3DLevelScanner scans and
takes measurements from various points within the bin. These points are used to determine the volume of material in the bin.
Measurement points are not averaged to calculate bin volume. Instead, each point is given a weight or strength of accuracy
rating assigned by an algorithm to determine the true volume of material within the bin.
In many cases, especially with applications prone to irregular
material surfaces, there will be points in the bin that are lower
or higher than the majority of the bin contents. If a simple
average formula was used to determine the average height of
the product, it could be inaccurate. By using an algorithm that
bases the average height from all of the points and the weights
associated with them to determine the average volume and
height/distance, the 3DLevelScanner can provide a much more
accurate estimation of bin volume.
Safe, Non-Contact Technology Reduces Risk
The 3DLevelScanner is a non-contact device, so it is ideal for food processing, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals where contact
with the material being measured must be avoided. It is also suitable for sticky materials whose level needs to be monitored,
but the material could cause problems by adhering to the measurement device. It also avoids situations such as broken
or buried cables, which can cause maintenance problems and result in downtime and periods when no measurements can
be taken.

3D Meets the Demand
for Greater Accuracy
Inventory is money The demand for greater accuracy applies whether the concern is just a few small silos
containing high dollar resins or a million bushel bin full of corn. Each percentage point the bin measurement is inaccurate
can represents thousands of inventory dollars.
Proft versus loss Managing assets and carrying a
large, high value inventory is of great concern to fnance, the
plant manager, or any corporate executive with proft and
loss responsibility. A measurement that differs by several feet
in a bin can create signifcant variances in volume and the
calculated dollar value of the inventory.
Controlling cost of goods In manufacturing and
processing facilities, raw material in bins and other storage
vessels can account for the majority of work-in-process
inventory. Today, it is not unusual for a bin to hold a million
bushels of material.
Unexplained variances Measuring just a single point in the bin can lead to large variances, such as when measuring
the same point in the bin when flling when the cone is up or emptying when the cone is down. Excessive variances can
cause unexplained material losses or result in material shortages, disrupting the production process.

Smarter purchasing and
logistics Purchasing and log-
istics personnel need to ensure
inventory is adequate for production,
while at the same time optimizing
inventory turns. An accurate stock
position helps to optimize inventory
carrying costs, while utilizing storage
capacity to optimize transportation
and logistics.
Bins today can hold more than one million bushels.
Accurate volume allows for optimal
scheduling and logistics.
Detects bridging and sidewall buildup By taking multiple measurements within the bin and then mapping
the topography in the bin, the computerized profle created by the 3DLevelScanner can show bridging as well as
material built up on the sides of the silo. By detecting irregularities in the material surface, excessive buildup can be
accounted for in volume calculations. With single point devices, a measurement may show the bin is almost empty,
even when a significant amount
of material remains in the bin. This
feature also helps alert to the need
for bin cleaning at the optimal time.
Prevent silo collapse There have been instances around the world where excessive buildup on one side of the silo
has caused the silo to collapse. By detecting the buildup of material early, excessive damage to the silo and surrounding
structures can be avoided. Installing a 3DLevelScanner can lead to a reduction of
insurance claims and costly, time-consuming rebuilding of structures.
Theft detection and theft deterrence Whether intended or not, it is not highly
unusual for large amounts of inventory to simply disappear. Continuous inventory
management allows for activity in the bin to be monitored and logged every day and
night, and for unexplained variations to be researched promptly.
Signifcant bridging is evident

and displayed in the 3D image

There are three models of the 3DLevelScanner referred to as S, M and MV, all of which
come with proprietary 3DLevel Manager software. Designed for bins up to 45 wide, the
M and MV models employ a 2-dimensional array
beam former that sends very low frequency,
dust-penetrating acoustical pulses and receives
echoes of the pulses from multiple points within
a 70 beam angle on the surface of the material in
the bin. The MV model offers the added feature of
visualization, generating graphical representations
of bin topography.
The S model is for narrow bins up to 14 diameter and up
to 200 tall. The S model employs the same technology
as the M and MV models, but within a narrower
30 beam angle. The S model takes an average of
the numerous measurements within the narrower 30
coverage window, and calculates the average volume from the measurements
within that window.

In the manufacturing process, materials such as clinker, alumina, frac sand or fy ash may be conveyed into
the silo when they are still relatively hot. The 3DLevelScanner HT is designed to withstand these higher tem-
peratures while maintaining a high level of measurement accuracy, unlike some non-contact devices that are
prone to becoming unreliable in harsh environments. The 3DLevelScanner has been proven to perform in a
wide variety of materials including heavy lump material like clinker, fne granular materials like alumina oxide
or silica sand, or powdered materials such as fy ash.

Works in Dusty and Humid Environments
The 3DLevelScanner HT is designed to measure the level and estimate
the volume in storage silos containing challenging materials such as clinker,
alumina, frac sand and fy ash. This model of the 3DLevelScanner has an
operating temperature range of up to 356F (180C) to accommodate higher
temperatures that may be present when material that has been heated in the
production process is conveyed into storage silos. The 3DLevelScanner HT
is ideal for use in the cement, aluminum, mining and power industries where
there are multiple challenges such as dust or high humidity and very
large silos where the material surface in the bin may be uneven
and diffcult to measure.

Dependent on the diameter and height of the silo and the desired
level of volume accuracy, one or more 3DLevelScanners is mounted
on the top of the silo in strategic locations determined by using advanced
proprietary software. Each dust-penetrating, non-contact sensor sends
pulses in a 70 beam angle, taking multiple measurements from the mate-
rial surface and continually mapping the material surface to detect changes
in level, account for uneven surface topography, and calculate a highly
accurate volume estimate of the contents of the silo.
The 3DLevelManager software reports the lowest and highest points
detected and the average level based upon a weighted average of all of
the measurements detected in the bin. For the MV and the MVL models,
a colorful graphical representation will indicate where high and low spots
exist in the silo.

of
Big Bin Accuracy from BinMaster
Multiple Scanners for More Measurement Points
The BinMaster MVL is a multiple-scanner system that uses non-contact, dust-penetrating technology
that was specifcally designed to provide improved volume accuracy for large bins. Until the intro-
duction of the BinMaster MVL system, operations with very wide, large bins, tanks and silos were
relying primarily on traditional process instruments, and even manual measurements. However,
as the topography of material can vary greatly in large silos or silos with multiple-fll or discharge
sites, the level measurement and resulting volume estimate for the silo could be highly inaccurate
based upon where that one measurement was taken in the silo.
The BinMaster MVL was designed for those operations that demand more accuracy. Properly
applied, the MVL system can provide accuracy volume of .5% to 3%. By using multiple scanners
to measure and map the complete product surface, the BinMaster MVL can signifcantly increase
inventory accuracy for the very large, wide silos increasingly used in industry today. The Bin-
Master MVL helps operations improve fnancial management, better manage storage capacity,
and optimize their purchasing cycles and delivery logistics.
Although a single 3DLevelScanner provides far su-
perior measurement data to a single-point device,
it is limited to the material that the scanner can detect
within a 70 beam angle. Therefore, if the bin is wider than
45, the accuracy of a single 3DLevelScanner will dimin-
ish because it cant see the entire material surface.
The BinMaster MVL system synchronizes the data
from one or more additional scanners to cover more
material surface, which makes the volume estimate
more accurate. The controller is programmed to
combine the data from the scanners and map the
measurement points that are depicted in a visual
representation of the material surface.
MVL Makes
the Workplace Safer
Big bins are not only wide, but also can be extremely
tall with sloping roofs and a single ladder from the
sidewall to the peak. A storage dome roof is diffcult
to access and dangerous to navigate. Climbing bins
or domes to check levels is undesirable and a
serious safety risk, but can be virtually eliminated
with an MVL system. For volatile environments, the
BinMaster MVL system is hazardous location ap-
proved and FM Listed for Classes I & II, Division 1,
Groups C, D, E, F & G.
The BinMaster MVL elimi-
nates the need to climb
ladders to check levels.
Adding an additional scanner
in a wide bin provides more
coverage of the material surface,
ensuring greater accuracy!
A single scanner measures in a
70 beam angle that does not
cover the entire surface area.
Most big bins have a single
ladder from the sidewall to
the peak for bin access.
Improve Financial & Inventory Management
Unique Visualization Feature
The fnancial implications of materials management are signifcant in
todays economy. Inventory is money and the pressure is on opera-
tions to increase inventory turns, purchase effciently and replenish
optimally. A few percentage points of inventory can represent tens
of thousands of dollars, which in todays economy can mean the dif-
ference between proft and loss. The BinMaster MVL system allows
fnancial, plant and purchasing management to base their decisions
on very accurate inventory data. The reports generated from the MVL
multi-scanner system can be used to better enhance proftability and
understand inventory shrink in an operation.
The controller in the MVL system combines the data from multiple
scanners and sends it to the 3D Vision software that creates a
single visual representation of the contents of the bin showing the
topography of the material. This enables users to note cone up and
cone down confgurations, or identify where there may be sidewall
buildup or bridging that can lead to maintenance problems. For
multiple-fll or multiple-discharge vessels, the visualization can
help defne the next fll and empty points.
Better Data for
Better Decision Making
The BinMaster MVL system integrates the data from
multiple 3DLevelScanners to accurately estimate the volume
of material in the bin. As it uses data from multiple measure-
ment points, it is much more accurate than any single point
measurement device. The MVL system comes equipped
with 3D Vision software that supplies 24/7 real-time access
to bin data including:
Vessel name, ID and material
Volume as a percentage, in bushels, or cubic
feet or meters
Maximum, minimum and average levels or
distances to product
Weight in US tons, pounds or metric tons
Real-time 3D images and historic 3D image movies
Historical logs of bin measurements
For operations that have multiple 3DLevelScanner sys-
tems whether they are MVL, MV, M or S-type scanners
BinMaster also offers 3D Multi-Vision software that allows
the user to view multiple bins at an operation by opening a
single window.
MVL System Applications
This MVL system can measure virtually any bulk
solid material, and is designed to provide accurate
volume measurements critical for inventory control
in many types of industrial applications such as:
Grain silos including 105s or million bushel bins
Large covered grain storage facilities
Ethanol facilities with large bins of corn or DDGS
Bins or bunkers of coal, fyash or limestone
at power plants
Large clinker, cement or limestone silos at cement
manufacturing plants
Wide soybean silos used in biodiesel production
Animal feed stored in large silos, bunkers or
warehouses
Bins storing fertilizer or sand
Mining operations with silos or stockpiles of
limestone or ores
Large domes of bulk raw sugar
Ports with large storage silos and domes
Covered domes or bins storing salt
BinMaster will provide an assessment of your bin
and the application and determine if an MVL system
is appropriate to meet your inventory accuracy needs.
Improving inventory accuracy can optimize
logistics of deliveries and shipments.
The visualization feature depicts the variable topography
of bin contents.
Components of an MVL System
The core components of an MVL multi-scanner system
include two or four model MVL 3DLevelScanners, a con-
troller that aggregates the data from the two scanners, and
the 3D Vision software that is loaded on one or more PCs.
In an MVL-2 installation, two scanners are mounted on
the top of the vessel in locations optimized to most effec-
tively cover the entire surface area of the material being
measured. Generally, one scanner is mounted near the
center and one eight to ten feet from the outer perimeter.
The 3DLevelScanners are connected via a daisy chain
using an RS-485 protocol. The scanners take multiple
measurements of the material surface using dust-pene-
trating, acoustic-based technology. A controller combines
the data from the two scanners and generates a single
merged visual representation of the topography of the
material and displays the image on a PC loaded with the
3D Vision software. It can also send a synchronized
420 mA output to a PLC or DCS.

3D MultiVision is a Windows-based inventory management
software for users of the 3DLevelScanner who want to view
multiple bins easily and conveniently. MultiVision software
is compatible with all versions of the 3DLevelScanner S,
M, MV, and MVL enabling users to view all of their bins
on a single screen. MultiVision software can be accessed
via a Local Area Network and multiple user accounts can
be assigned to control the level of access to bin data.
3D MultiVision
Multiple Bins. Multiple Users. Multiple Locations.
One Simple Software.
With MultiVision software, there is no need to open a new window for each bin, unlike the standard software
that allows only one bin to be viewed at a time. Users can easily view all their bins at a glance and eas-
ily focus on those bins needing attention. As data is available 24/7 and in real-time, MultiVision can help
users optimize operations and make better decisions based on timely, accurate data. Users can zero in on
bins whose levels are low and may need replenishment, or are reaching capacity and need to stop flling to
reduce the risk of overflling.
By simply clicking on a single bin in the multi-bin view, a user can view the detailed information for that bin
and view the 3D profle, for those bins with an MV or MVL installed. MultiVision software offers users the
fexibility to customize the way they look at their bin data to make them most effcient at their job. With
real-time and historical data at their fngertips, operations can improve productivity, maximize purchasing
and logistics, and reduce inventory and operating costs.
Multiple Users & Departments
People from different departments can view the data for the bins simultaneously . . . no waiting! The
plant manager needs a quick overview of critical bins . . . the logistics department wants to schedule
the next delivery . . . maintenance needs a 3D image to detect sidewall buildup . . . purchasing needs
to place the next order . . . accounting needs a
month-end inventory. Everyone can get to
the data they need, now!
Custom Views
for Each User
Each user can confgure MultiVision how they
want to view the data. Is it headroom, mass,
volume, pounds or bushels that is most impor-
tant? Some users may want to sort bins by
material or only look at bins containing certain
materials. Or, perhaps a user wants to only
view bins that currently have high or low level
alerts. MultiVision allows each user to custom-
ize their screen appearance by which bins
they want to view, select the characteristics
displayed for each bin, and the order in which
the bins appear.

Local Area Network Access
MultiVision accommodates multiple users on a local area
network (LAN). The administrator simply grants permission
to selected users of the data and assigns them a user ID and
password. The administrator can control user access to the
type of data they are permitted to view. If the company has
a virtual private network (VPN) connected via the Internet,
the user may also access the data remotely when away
from the offce.
One Master Data Base
MultiVision software consolidates all of the bin data history on
one server and in a single database. This ensures that all users
are pulling reports from one source, ensuring everyone is exporting
data and generating reports from the same historical database.
Export Customized Reports
Users can set up MultiVision so that it exports and sends custo-
mized reports at scheduled time intervals. For example, a
production manager may want to receive
a report at the beginning of
the shift to ensure adequate
material is on hand.
Alternatively, users can
search a range of log
fles by date and time
to capture the exact
information they seek.
