5.1 Understanding Basic Parts 5.1.1 Operation The Advanced Milking Interface Milk Yield Indicator The Advanced Milking Interface 5450 sensor (AMI) sensor (AMI MYI sensor) operation begins in the milk consists of three functional parts: Conductivity probes, hose before the milk even enters the sensor. The dip in Temperature sensor, and the sensor housing.
