  • Page 5: Connection To Adi Pump

    A direct-link connection between a SXHM sensor and ADi pump requires Agrowtek’s cross-over adapter. IMPORTANT! ONLY use cross-over adapters provided by Agrowtek. Do not use other cross-over adapters or cross-over cables unless they are constructed exactly as diagramed on the cross-over diagram. Incorrect cross-over adapters or cables can cause damage to the equipment.
