any surface moisture. Compressed air is useful for removing
moisture from the inside of the connectors or ports (pin and

4. Verify that the interfacial seal is present inside the monitor port
connector with the pins. The bright orange, rubber seal should
sit at the bottom of the connector with the pins protruding
through the seal.
5. (applies only when using ADS-supplied tipping buckets)
Connect the tipping bucket cable to the TIPPING BUCKET
port on the monitor. Tighten the connector in a clockwise
direction until it clicks, and verify that it is seated correctly.
6. (applies only when using customer-supplied tipping buckets)
Prepare and connect the customer-supplied tipping bucket to
the monitor in the following way:
− Connect the wires from the cable of the customer-supplied
tipping bucket to the wires on the pigtail cable (ADS p/n
5000-0721). Polarity is not an issue.
− Thoroughly wrap the completed connection with rubber
tape. Extend the tape up the cables beyond the connection
to ensure a good moisture seal and to reinforce the
connection.
− Connect the pigtail connector to the TIPPING BUCKET
port on the monitor. Tighten the connector in a clockwise
direction until it clicks, and verify that it is seated
correctly.
