Reconnecting the transmitter to a sensor that is already inserted
You can reconnect your transmitter to the sensor you are currently using. Simply
connect your transmitter to the sensor that is already inserted. When the pump
detects the transmitter, confirm that you want to Reconnect Sensor. It may take a few
seconds to establish a connection when reconnecting a sensor. Reattach the
adhesive tab of the sensor to the transmitter and reapply any required tape. When
you reconnect a sensor, the sensor will go through another warm-up period before
you can calibrate it.
Tester
The tester is used to test the transmitter to make sure it is working. The tester is also
used as a required component to create a waterproof seal when cleaning the
transmitter. Properly connecting the tester to the transmitter ensures that fluids do not
come in contact with the connector pins inside the transmitter. Fluids can cause
connector pins to corrode and affect the performance of the transmitter.
