Model TS420

3.4Wiring Connections

The two wires at the base of the TS420 provide a 4-20mA loop-powered output. The red wire is the “loop +” lead and the white wire is the “loop -” lead (Figure 4). A third green/yellow wire is provided for frame ground.

It is recommended that a two wire, shielded cable be used for making power and output signal connections on the TS420.

Connect the green/yellow frame ground wire to the grounding terminal or lug inside the junction box being used with the TS420.

Ensure the junction box frame is connected to frame ground or connected to the cable shield, which is connected to frame ground at the controller.

Connect the red wire to the +24VDC terminal. Connect the white wire to the signal input terminal on the readout/relay display module, FMD Field Mounted Display, S4100E smart sensor, industrial analog to digital converter, computer-based monitor, PLC, DCS, etc.

Since the TS420 is designed to operate continuously, a power switch is not included, in order to prevent accidental system shutdown.

NOTE - Power must remain disconnected until all wiring connections are made.

The absolute maximum distance between the TS420 and the power supply is 8000 feet (2438 meters). Depending on the application, general purpose or intrinsically safe, the cable length will depend on the intrinsically safe barrier chosen and the cable used. See the Appendix, Section 5.1.5, for the intrinsically safe system requirements. In addition, cable length specifications can also be found in the Appendix, Section 5.1.3. In all cases, the cable run should be as short as possible.

MANTS420, TS420 specifications

The GM TS420 and MANTS420 represent a breakthrough in agricultural technology tailored for enhancing both efficiency and productivity in farming operations. As versatile solutions, they are designed to meet the demands of contemporary agricultural practices.

One of the primary features of the GM TS420 is its powerful engine, which ensures robust performance across various terrains. The engine is specifically engineered to provide optimal fuel efficiency while minimizing emissions, aligning with modern environmental standards. This is crucial for farmers focused on maintaining a sustainable operation while reducing operational costs.

The MANTS420, on the other hand, stands out for its advanced precision farming technologies. Equipped with cutting-edge GPS and navigation systems, the MANTS420 allows for precise planting and harvesting. This precision is essential for maximizing yields and minimizing waste, as it enables farmers to apply inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides more effectively and economically.

Both models feature a user-friendly interface, which streamlines operation and reduces the learning curve for new users. The touchscreen displays provide real-time data on machine performance, field conditions, and crop status, allowing farmers to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.

In terms of durability, the GM TS420 and MANTS420 are built with high-quality materials designed to withstand the rigors of agricultural environments. Their sturdy chassis and high-ground clearance enhance maneuverability in challenging landscapes, making them ideal for diverse farming tasks.

Furthermore, the technology in both units includes telemetry and remote monitoring capabilities. This allows farmers to track performance metrics and receive maintenance alerts, minimizing downtimes and optimizing machine longevity.

The implement compatibility of the GM TS420 and MANTS420 is another noteworthy characteristic. Both models can accommodate a wide range of attachments, making them versatile tools for various agricultural tasks, from tilling and plowing to seeding and harvesting.

In conclusion, the GM TS420 and MANTS420 embody the synthesis of advanced engineering and technology in the agricultural sector. Their combination of robust power, precision farming capabilities, ease of use, durability, and versatility make them indispensable assets for modern farmers seeking to enhance productivity while adhering to sustainable practices.
