OVERVIEW
Remote units serve as peripheral devices in a Bin-Sense Live system. Remote units read temperature and
moisture sensing cables and communicate with a Master unit to collect grain temperature and moisture data
for a single bin on a Bin-Sense Live site. The Master unit collects data from all the Remote units on a site then
sends that data to the Bin-Sense website through a cellular data connection.
