HF-CNTL-PBS-02 

Note: review Section 2.1.2: “Installation Guidelines” prior to installing the 

controller. 
1.  Attach the Cobalt HF Antenna to the Cobalt HF Controller as per the 

instructions in Section 2.2: “Connecting the Antenna.” 

2.  Select a suitable location for the Cobalt HF Controller/Antenna. If 

necessary, fabricate mounting brackets from durable plastic. 

3.  Fasten combined controller and antenna to your mounting fixture using two 

M5 (#10) diameter screws (not included). Pass screws through antenna’s 

mounting holes and secure them with appropriate washers and nuts. 

Tighten screws to 1.7 Nm or 15 lbs per inch ± 10%. 

4.  Connect the three wires from your power supply to pins 1-3 on the 5-pin, 

female, M12 connector (P/N: CBL-1487 included).  

5.  Attach the 

CBL-1487

 connector to the 5-pin, male, M12 connector on the 

Cobalt Controller.  

6.  Attach a Profibus-compatible data cable (

P/N: CBL-1438-XX not included) 

to the 5-pin, male M12 interface connector on the Cobalt. Connect the other 

end of this cable to your Profibus network. 

7.  Turn your power supply ON. The green 

PWR (power) LED

 on the Cobalt will 

illuminate. After the boot process is complete, The two “Profibus

” LEDs 

on 

the controller may appear green or off  depending on the status of the 

connection with your Profibus network. 

 

OPTIONAL STEPS FOR ADDITIONAL CONFIGURATION 

Steps 9 through 11 below are considered optional and only need to be 

completed by users that wish to modify their Cobalt controller’s internal 

configuration. 

8.  To modify the controller’s internal configuration, connect an 8-pin, RS232-

compatible, serial interface cable to the 8-pin, male M12 interface connector 

on the Cobalt. Connect the other end of this cable to a COM port on your 

host computer.   

9.  On the host computer, set COM port parameters to the following values:
