  • Page 1 AgroBee-L Manual AgroBee-L Dendrometer System Very low consumption radio modules and integral components of the AgroBee-L system that offer measures of changes in the diameter of plant stems or the diameter of the fruits. The AgroBee-L Dendrometer model offers the following:...
  • Page 2: Technical Characteristics

    Solar: 5V / 1,05W → 3,3V supercapacitors Energy consumption: Average consumption: Dendrometer 0,90 mW Outputs Inputs Maximum distance betweeen sensor and Number AgroBee-L: 50m 5 Vcc (Sensor power supply) Type Number Maximum current: 50 mA Type For potential-free contacts Number Type Analog (16 bits)
  • Page 3 AgroBee-L System Operation The AgroBee-L radio modules are used for the activation of valves and other irrigation elements, as well as the reading of sensors and meters. It is very low consumption and follows the LoRa radio modulation, which operates in the 868MHz, 433 MHz and 915 MHz, free bands, obtaining radio coverage of up to 2500 m between two points (depending on the orography).
  • Page 4: Installation

    (10) is halved. To use AgroBee-L modules, it is necessary to assign their outputs to the sectors or generals of the controller in question, and their inputs to the digital, analog, or counters sensors.
  • Page 5 INSTALLATION MÓDULOS The AgroBee-L modules have the antenna integrated into the Module module, so they are installed on top of a post. For good radio communication, it is very important to place the modules in areas free of vegetation, walls, and metal structures.
  • Page 6 INSTALLING DENDROMETER SENSORS Depending on the selected model, the AgroBee-L Dendrometer module is delivered along with one or two dendrometer sensors plus the mounting kit for each of them. The mounting kit is similar for all sensors of this type. As an example, and considering the DC2...
  • Page 7: Adjustments And Maintenance

    Wrap the cable with the pins around the trunk and fasten it with the other end adjusting by the screw that is in the fastener provided. Make sure that the steel cable is resting properly on the trunk, and slide the plastic pins along the cable so that they do not rub against the bark.
  • Page 8: Inputs And Outputs

    Inputs and Outputs DIGITAL INPUTS (DIGITAL SENSOR) There is 1 digital input in an AgroBee-L Dendrometer module, which can function either as a digital input or a counter/rain gauge input. When the input is connected to a counter, the minimum time between pulses must be 0.1 seconds and an anti-bounce filter may be enabled in order to avoid accumulating undesired pulses.
  • Page 9 Settings For any AgroBee-L module to enter the correct operating mode, you must have an Agrónic con- troller (Agrónic 2500, Agrónic 4500, Agrónic 5500 and Agrónic Bit Con) with the AgroBee-L option installed, which includes the internal coordinator and an antenna with 10 metres of cable. This...
  • Page 10 CONTROLLER QUERY OF AN AGROBEE-L MODULE General query menu of the module, where the following parameters are displayed: • Module and serial number: ‒ Module: It refers to the module number (1 to 20) according to the established communication parameters. There can only be one same module number for each Agrónic.
  • Page 11 CONSULT COMMUNICATIONS CONSULT COMMUNICATIONS AgroBee-L 868 M01 (ns. 236) V1.00 Status: Correct Status: Correct (40”) Timing: 60” Level: 80% / 82% Channel: 01 TX Mode: 05 Vbat: 04.0 V Vsol: 05.8 V Network code: 00001 1111111111111111 User’s manual | AgroBee-L ·...
  • Page 12 The following parameters are in the Communication Parameters menu of the Module Reader, which allow you to establish the communication of a certain AgroBee-L module with a controller: • Module Module number in the network. It is used to distinguish all modules that may be associated with an Agrónic.
  • Page 13 For an AgroBee-L module to establish communication with a certain Agrónic, you must set, through the reader, the parameters that have just been described, according to those established in the Agrónic in question.
  • Page 14 INPUT-OUTPUT PARAMETERS OF AN AGROBEE-L MODULE In the Input-Output Parameters menu of the Module Reader, you can set the parameters of the AgroBee-L module’s different inputs and outputs, available through the following sub-menu: • Digital Inputs Configuration of digital sensors or counters.
  • Page 15 You have already seen how to consult the different parameters of an AgroBee-L module through the Module Reader. In the Agronic to which the AgroBee-L module is associated, it also shows the battery information and radio link performance of said module.
  • Page 16 Updating the AgroBee-L module software Whenever there is a new software version for an AgroBee-L module, the user can update it. To do this, you must perform the following steps: Mini USB Normal • Have a computer with an Internet connection and a Record USB to miniUSB cable.
