Connecting the Tipping Bucket to the
Monitor
Connecting the tipping bucket to the monitor primarily involves
running the cable from the tipping bucket to the monitor and
connecting the cable to the tipping bucket port on the monitor.
Applications involving a customer-supplied tipping bucket also
require an intermediate pigtail cable (ADS p/n 5000-0721) that runs
between the tipping bucket cable and the monitor.
Connect the tipping bucket to the monitor in the following way:
1. Run the cable from the tipping bucket to the monitor location.
When the tipping bucket and monitor are in different locations,
consider the following when running the cable:
 Always obtain permission for the cable route from the
property owner, when applicable.
 Prepare the route and run the cable according to the
property owner’s specifications.
2. Locate the TIPPING BUCKET port on the bottom of the
monitor.
