Thank you for purchasing an AgXcel Precision Liquid Fertilizer Application System (FAS) for your liquid place- ment requirements. The AgXcel FAS system can be integrated into the following OEM controllers: • Ag Leader • John Deere Green Star • Trimble •...
Page 4
Therefore, if you were applying two liquid fertilizers on your planter, you will need three rate controllers, one for seed and two for liquid fertilizer. The harness coming out of the AG Leader rate controller is a 12 pin amp connector that will be connected to the AgXcel 16 pin amp connector extending from the AgXcel GX system.

TROUBLESHOOTING (Read Instructions Completely before Beginning Installation) Pumps run for a few seconds then turn off This symptom is due to the pumps drawing more current than the 40 amp limit of the EPD. 1. Unplug the EPD connector going to the battery for 2-3 seconds. Removing power from the EPD resets it.
Page 19
TROUBLESHOOTING (Read Instructions Completely before Beginning Installation) Section Valve(s) will not move 1. Go to Rate Control Detail to investigate this issue. 2. Turn section valve switches on the switch box on and off. Do you have a problem with one or all of the valves?.

TROUBLESHOOTING (Read Instructions Completely before Beginning Installation) EDP Status Lights Control Signal LED’s Status LED The status LED on the PWM is a good indica- tor to determine if there’s a problem with the To Pumps system. It is especially helpful if you are calling PWM Signal in for tech support.

TROUBLESHOOTING (Read Instructions Completely before Beginning Installation) Electric pumps will not turn on Connect pumps directly to battery 1. Find the EPD (electric pump driver) shown at right. Connect the two connectors (highlighted green, shown on the right) to each other. This will bypass the module and supply 12 volts directly to pumps. 2.
Page 22
TROUBLESHOOTING (Read Instructions Completely before Beginning Installation) Application Rate Fluctuates This symptom is due to the pumps drawing more current than the 40 amp limit of the EPD. First, you need to determine if the fluctuation is caused by the controller sending fluctuating signals to the valve.

AGXCEL MAGNETIC FLOWMETER OPTION (Read Instructions Completely before Beginning Installation) AGXCEL MAG FLOWMETER The AgXcel Mag Flowmeter is a magnetic flowmeter, also technically known as an electromagnetic flowmeter. A magnetic field is applied to the metering tube, which results in a potential difference proportional to the flow velocity perpendicular to the flux lines.
Page 25
AGXCEL TURBINE FLOWMETER OPTION (Read Instructions Completely before Beginning Installation) AGXCEL TURBINE FLOWMETER AgXcel flowmeter kits consist of the flowmeter, sensor, mounting bracket and hose barb fittings. The FM750 GFN turbine flowmeter requires a minimum of 24” of hose, with a gentle curve, should be used after the flow- meter outlet before any fittings are inserted.

LOCATING THE FLOWMETER CALIBRATION NUMBERS (Read Instructions Completely before Beginning Installation) Mag Flowmeter If you have a magnetic flowmeter there will be a sticker located on one of the sides. Find the pulses per gallon and use the chart below to determine your flowmeter calibration number. If you have a turbine flowmeter (black cylinder shape) there will be a tag tied to the flowmeter like the image shown on the right.

GX2 ACCESSORY - SECTION VALVES (Read Instructions Completely before Beginning Installation) SECTION VALVES - HOW THEY WORK Section valves can be assembled into groups with a common inlet to control flow to each section. Common assemblies use up to 5-6 valves, however, more can be used where practical Many alternate fittings can be used to accommodate different hose sizes and configurations.
GX2 ACCESSORY - RECIRCULATION KIT (Read Instructions Completely before Beginning Installation) Recirculation Regulation valve APPLICATIONS 1. Recirculation flow is required for product agitation. 2. IF a low flow rate is required, that would require pump to run less than 10-20% of maximum capacity. This kit will allow the pump to turn faster, while only applying a low rate of product.
Page 29
GX2 ACCESSORY - PRESSURE SENSOR AND GAUGE (Read Instructions Completely before Beginning Installation) MOUNT ON SECTION VALVES The AgXcel GX10 OEM integration harness is capable of implementing a pressure transducer into the system so that system pressure may be displayed on the console in the cab of the tractor. Now even though the in-cab pressure is for informational purposes only, it can be very useful for managing the system.

The information outlined in this manual is general and not specific to all 5059 series pumps. Be certain the pump materials are compatible with the fluid being pumped.
Pressure Switch Operation The pressure switch reacts to outlet pressure and inter- rupts power at the preset shut-off pressure indicated on Improper adjustment of the pressure switch may cause the pump label. When outlet pressure drops below a severe overload or premature failure. Failures due to predetermined limit (typically 15-20 psi [1-1.4 bar] less improper adjustment of the pressure switch will not be than the shut-off pressure), the switch will close and the...
