The connection to the PLC is done according to the diagram above using a cable with a M12 Female 
connector. Stop start pin3 and Digital input for calibration pin5 is not relevant for the ice bank. 

 
 
 
 
 
Sensor configuration 

 
 
 
All HB-product sensors can be configured using a laptop and a “M12-USB” cable. The software can be 
downloaded freely on the HB products web page. The configuration data can be stored in the sensor and will 
be there until erased even without power connection—just like you store data on a memory stick. When you 
change a value/setting there will be put a check mark next to it and that indicates you have changed 
something and need to store the data in the sensor.
