Addressing the Sensors

After positioning and securing each sensor in its proper location, every sensor on a probe needs to be
assigned a unique address. The sensor address is set by changing the position of the address link on the
ribbon cable board of the sensor. This address is a means of differentiating between each sensor on the
probe, and can be assigned a numerical value between 1 and 16. The sensor address is not necessarily
related to the sensor position on the probe rod.

Figure 3 below shows the address link in position 5 on the sensor.
