AgroBee-L GNSS System
The GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is a very low consumption radio module
that is part of the AgroBee-L radio system, and that integrates a GPS-GLONASS receiver
inside it to determine the geographical position of the module in question. It also allows
the activation of latch solenoids and the reading of digital and analog sensors.
The AgroBee-L GNSS module is designed to be installed on top of a post on the last tower of
the pivot, be it circular or linear. Consequently, the module allows us to locate the geographical
position of the pivot on a map and its direction of movement.
The AgroBee-L GNSS model offers the following:
Option 1
• Determination of geographic position
Option 2
• Determination of geographic position
• 2 2-wire or 3-wire latch solenoids
• 1 counter or digital input or rain gauge
• 2 4 -20mA analog sensors

‒ Angle of the reference point 0° with respect to geographic North The AgroBee-L GNSS module has a 4 Ah internal battery and three 5 W solar panels that are delivered along with the module. This module is always active and collects data from the satellites it has in view. This allows it be precise when pinpointing its position, the maximum that the system allows, about +/- 3 metres. - Page 3 The product must be taken to the correspon- ding collection point for the recycling and proper treatment of electrical and electronic contro- ller in accordance with national legislation.
