Not sure how it's designed, there are a lot of PCB to PCB plugs out there nowadays, if you make each sensor a plug in module and put the opposite plug on the base, so they could simply be plugged in to the fixed base, if you want the entire base to be removable, may I suggest an RJ45 jack on the timer and base and just use a short network cable to interface them, or even a DB9 serial cable, or even cleaner a 10 conductor ribbon cable where you could alternate signal/ground...
A picture or two might give me more ideas, I did freelance electronics design as job for many years so my mind if full of solutions...
