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).
