Connecting the sensor rod to the transmitter
The sensor rod is connected to the transmitter via a 12-pole
plug connection. The plug connection is prevented from twist-
ing by a keyway and can therefore only be connected in the
correct position.
Lay the cable so that it is protected against mechanical dam-
age, such as from tools or agricultural machinery.
 Insert the plug connection into the socket and tighten the
union nut by hand in a clockwise direction.

Operation in the field solely requires the preparations speci-
fied under "Commissioning" and "Assembly".
The monitoring station will then work automatically and with-
out requiring maintenance.
The battery charge is monitored by Deepfield Connect via the
radio link. You will be notified when the battery needs replac-
ing.
