extension connects. Either plug can be used on the sensor. When using multiple
sensing units, daisy chaining will be required.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure your device software is updated
to the most recent version.

Mount the TM1000 module near the receiver in a position that allows the 2.5­inch data lead to extend from the receiver’s DATA port to the DATA port on the
telemetry module. You can use servo tape to secure the TM1000 module or wrap
it in foam with the receiver. Connect the DATA lead to the TM1000 port marked
