- 3. Mount the two solar panels side-by-side on the bin facing the direction of maximum sunlight (face south in the northern hemisphere, face north in the southern hemisphere).
- 4. Place the Master unit battery on the roof of the bin close enough to the master unit that the battery cable will reach the Master unit power cable.
- 5. Connect the Master unit sensor link cable to all the sensing cables and to any other Bin-Sense accessories (e.g. Fan Controllers). You’ll need to use a terminal box or splitter to connect more than one device to the sensor link cable.

nothing is detected on the sensor cable interface, the LED will flash one red flash followed by a long pause, and
then six red flashes for the radio channel.
EXAMPLE:
If you have one eight-sensor temperature cable, and one eight-sensor moisture cable connected to a Master
unit that is set to radio channel 22, you would expect the following flashing pattern:
• One red flash (for total temperature & moisture cables) followed by two green flashes (for number of
cables).
• Two red flashes (for the total number of sensors) followed by one orange flash (for 10) and six green
flashes (for a total value of 16).
• Three red flashes (for the number of moisture sensors) followed by eight green flashes (for eight).
• Six red flashes (for the radio channel) followed by two orange flashes (for 20) and 2 green flashes (for a
total value of 22).
