4.4 Mounting at a conveyor belt
When installing the moisture sensor on a conveyor belt, an optional sled or ship may need to be incorpo-
rated into the conveyor belt system. (See Figure 8) A sled would be used in a situation where the material
flow is more even and the sensor would slide over the material. A ship would be used in a situation where
the material flow is more uneven and the ship can create a level / even area of material for the sensor.

4.5 TBUS Connector
Installation:
The transmitter housing can be combined with a 5-pole TBUS connector / rail connector as illustrated in
Figure 9. The RS-485 interface and the supply voltage can be conveniently wired through the TBUS con-
nector snapped onto the DIN rail. The TBUS connection is set up automatically in the mounting grid of the
devices involved. Consequently elaborate preliminary project planning or follow-up work on the TBUS con-
nection on site is not critical.
Technical data:
5-pole connector in the mounting grid 0.15” (3.81 mm)
8 A maximum contact load
High contact quality thanks to gold plating
Installation on DIN rails NS 35/7.5 or NS 35/15
IMPORTANT NOTE: The device may only be snapped into place on or disconnected from the TBUS con-
nector with the power off!
