    1/23/2017 Introduction The new SapIP-IRT wireless infrared temperature system is the latest development in infrared leaf temperature sensing technology for applications in irrigation scheduling and plant stress detection. As a temperature sensor, the module has many other applications and can be considered a general purpose temperature sensor.
  • Page 4 Up to 40 SapIP-IRT nodes can be connected wirelessly with a single GSM modem and the nodes can be “daisy-chained” up to four levels deep, which can allow data to be transmitted from distances over a mile away.

    2. Data 2.1 Purpose The purpose of the SapIP-IRT’s data collection is to provide the user with real time data measurements. Typically the sensor will take 2 seconds to read the temp, and then the results are either averaged or saved according to the collection steps.
  • Page 9 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minute intervals. The averaging accumulator is then reset. Settings are defined upon order from Dynamax. These settings are normally set in the factory, but are changeable in the field using the IRT watcher program.
  • Page 10 The Routers collect data from End nodes and transmit to the Coordinators assigned to a network. 3.3 Digimesh Range (SapIP-IRT-DM Network) 900 MHz Range (To be announced in 2016): 6500 feet (2 kilometers). o This new Node will have the advanced Digimesh network built –in and extends the range to 4-5x of the Zigbee.
  • Page 11 Part no is SPIP-IRTANT24. 4.1.4 Range over 500 meters: Dynamax supplies directional antennas, which can extend range 3- 4.1.5 All Ranges are in clear air - line of sight (LOS). With vegetation, the signal should be 1-2 meters above the canopy (3-6 ft).
  • Page 12 8. Enclosure 8.1 Specifications Completely sealed off field enclosure. Sealed to IP67, waterproof, rain proof, and weather tightened. Mounting options include a low-cost 2” EPS conduit hanger Optional gimbal mounted into a threaded socket (1/4” camera). Page 11 Dynamax, Inc.

  • Page 13: Assembly And Mounting Procedures

    The Dynamax Mounting Kit and the Adjustable Mounting Kit are the overall preferred method of installing each SapIP-IRT unit. Each set of equipment and the procedures for its installation are described within its associated sub-section(s) below. For lower canopy crop such as cotton or wheat, a fixed height (3 ft) above ground are recommended.
  • Page 14 Installation The next section illustrates the procedures Dynamax recommends when installing the adjustable mounting kit and how to correctly fasten the SapIP-IRT to the unit. 1.2.2 Assembling the Mounting Kit The first objective is to correctly attach the 4 ft. vertical pipe to the mounting plate. To begin,...
  • Page 15 1.2.3 Mounting the SapIP-IRT The first objective towards correctly fastening the SapIP-IRT to the adjustable mounting kit is to locate a place on the pipe where one wishes to mount the IRT. If not done so already, one will need to drill a hole through the pipe center using a 5/16”...
  • Page 16 If you are using a Coordinator inside the SALH, make sure that the device is on, and has been reset. Both the coordinator and the SALH have coordinator chips which are programmed by Dynamax to a specific Channel and Specific list of PAN ID, and all the IRT have been programmed to respond to the coordinator address.
  • Page 17 2. Hurricane Pole Attached to Fence Post The second method of successfully installing a SapIP-IRT unit in the field is by mounting the sensor on a hurricane pole that is vertical or attached to a fence post. Each set of equipment and the procedure(s) for its installation are described within its associated sub-section below.
  • Page 18 Since the IRT comes with the necessary materials to mount it on a medium these bolts require that it be mounted on a vertical pole a minimum of 1” in diameter (25 mm) (Dynamax suggests a stainless steel 1 – 1/4” hurricane fence top rail pipe as shown in the attached drawings).
  • Page 19 Lastly, the assembly and mounting procedures can begin for the high gain antenna and the IRT. 2.2.1 Mounting the SapIP-IRT The first objective towards correctly fastening the SapIP-IRT to the vertical pole is to locate a place on the pipe where one wishes to mount the IRT.
  • Page 20 #1. The customer will need to use a crescent wrench at the bottom, and pliers to screw the top together so the pieces are tight enough, and the antenna seal is secure from water. Page 19 Dynamax, Inc.
  • Page 21 1/23/2017 3. Chicken Wire Fence Post The alternative method of installing the SapIP-IRT is by mounting the sensor aboard a chicken wire fence post. This section will briefly describe the techniques required to correctly mount the IRT using this method. Each set of equipment and the procedure for its installation are described within its associated section below.
  • Page 22 SapIP – IRT Instruction Manual 1/23/2017 3.2.1 Mounting the SapIP-IRT Slide 5/16” washer onto the 5/16” hex-bolt from the set of IRT materials and place it through 2” EPS conduit hanger. Then insert through the chicken wire fence post horizontally.
  • Page 23 Begin by attaching the charging cables ( note: each has a male connection on the SapIP-IRT): First attach the (-) side of the solar panel to the black lead of the SapIP-IRT solar input (-). Then attach the (+) side of the solar panel to the red lead of the SapIP-IRT input (+).
  • Page 24 When transmitting the radio LED will blink on for 1/2 second. o The lower side LED is the IRT processor and will blink every 10 seconds while taking readings. o The lower LED will also blink with signals to the user while transmitting. Page 23 Dynamax, Inc.

    (Note: 6 x 10 seconds = 1 minute.). If the EEPROM interval is set to zero, only one sample is taken. 3. Timing and Sleep Considerations Sampling takes 2 seconds. Page 25 Dynamax, Inc.
  • Page 27 Note: Delay = serial No. Least Significant Byte x 10 ms. From to 0 to 150 ms. Next, the radio is then woken up from sleep mode and is followed by packet transmission. Ack/nacks are then interpreted and is data re-transmitted if needed. Radio is then put back to sleep. Page 26 Dynamax, Inc.

    If you get water into the 4 inch antenna connecter, we recommend adding some silicone grease to seal it better from water. Dynamax supplies water-tight antennas but they so cost a bit more and are completely water proof. Page 40...

    The charger will then be set according to the last mode it was programmed to. This could be off, fast mode, or trickle mode. o Note: If it’s off, the client will need to contact Dynamax. Next, the LED will flash for 10 milliseconds after every 10 seconds. The purpose of this is to conserve what remains of the battery’s voltage (in an extremely low battery drain state) until the...
