Continue until each module is set to
a unique address.
3. In each secondary seed hose to be
monitored, use a die grinder to make
a 1/2-inch hole in top of hose near
seed-distribution tower .

sensors for tower are installed.
6. Connect sensors to modules. On
connector panel, find numbered connector pins. Connect lead from sensor 1 to pins marked 1. Connect lead
from sensor 2 to pins marked 2. Proceed until all senors for tower are
connected to module for that tower.
7. After connecting sensors to module,
