3.3.6 CHANGE SONDE ADDRESS


Each sonde you connect to the 6500 Monitor has its own unique SDI-12 address. This address is
used by the sonde to identify itself to the 6500 Monitor. When multiple sondes are connected, it
is necessary that each sonde have its own unique address.

To change the SDI-12 address of a sonde, select the “Change sonde address” option in the Main
menu.


When selected, the SDI-12 addresses of any sondes connected will be shown.
