Page 4: Presentation
Presentation What is the VISUM AIRFLOW sensor The VISUM Airflow sensor is the technology that allows the farmer to remotely monitor the presence or absence of the fertilizer flow, warning possible blockages. When there is an interference in the flow of the metered input, a quick response is sent to the user.
Page 5 Specifications Monitor • Communication via radio frequency at 2.4GHz • GFSK Modulation Display • Omni-directional Antenna, 5dBi, 50 Ohms • RP-SMA Connector • Power voltage: 10Vdc to 30Vdc • Display with 2 characters of 7 segments indicator fertilizer Small grains indicator •...
Page 6: Pairing
Pairing In order for all sensors to communicate with the monitor, they must be configured in the same communication network. Each monitor has a unique ID, which can be located on the back of the sensor. Access the F5 function to pair the sensors. Step 1: Press the button until F5 appears on the monitor...
Page 7 HINT: The sensors might be on deep sleep (hibernate) mode. If so, hold the magnetic pen until you see it’s LED blink green three times and then remove and reapproach the magnetic pen to complete pairing. See page 15 for more details. Step 5: During pairing, the icons on the monitor will flash intermittently in white, while the display shows the row number...
Page 8 ATTENTION: Never pair 2 (two) sensors simultaneously. Wait around 3 (three) seconds to start the configuration of the next sensor How to identify the numbers The sensor has an area to identify the row numbers, this can be made with a permanent marker Marking Example of numbers markings...
Page 9: Operation
Operation Before use The monitor must be installed with the antenna in an upright position: The J.Assy monitor communicates with the flow sensors, indicating flow or blockage of flow When you power on the monitor, it may display “00” indicating that no sensors have communicated with it yet.
Page 10 During use Under normal conditions (sensors communicating and indicating flow) the display should show two dashes “- -” and the LED of the respective model (Fertilizer or Fine Grain) should be green, indicating correct operation. The monitor communicates only with sensors present at the same monitor address.
Page 11: Function Descriptions
The monitor exits the headland state when more than 50% of the sensors indicate the presence of flow again. To optimize the battery life, when not in use, the VISUM AIRFLOW sensors will enter standby mode The sensors return to operation only when they are moved, such as when the implement moves and the monitor is turned on.
Page 12 F1 | Connected Sensors List This function will list all the sensors that have communicated with the monitor, since power up. It’s recommended to run this function at least 5 minutes after powering up the monitor. During the list, a red icon does not indicate a problem with that row.
Page 13 F4 | Check Sensor ID With this function selected, the sensor ID verification is started. The product icons will turn white. Approach the magnet in the pairing region of the desired sensor to check it’s ID. Upon receiving the message with the sensor ID, the monitor LED will turn green and display the following information on the display: letter letter...
Page 14 F6 | Display Monitor ID With the function selected, the fertilizer/ small grain icons will be turned off and with the interval of 1 second the identification information of the monitor will be displayed, in the following order: letter letter letter letter of ID...
Page 15: Sensor Led Indicator
Sensor LED Indicator The magnetic pen can also be used without selecting any function on the monitor to check the battery life of each sensor. When you touch the sensor at the addressing location (lower left corner) the LEDs will blink twice indicating battery level as follows: •...
Page 16: Battery Replacement
Battery Replacement 01 | Slide the sensor 02 | Remove the screws off the backplate behind the sensor 03 | Undock the base cover, 04 | Remove discharged gaining access to the internal batteries chip with the batteries ATTENTION: Note the mounting orientation of the batteries in the circuit.
Page 17: Installation On The Machine
Installation on the machine Tools and materials: You will need: • Isopropyl Alcohol 90% • Soap & water • Clean rags • Voltmeter (or multimeter) • Heat Gun or Torch • Permanent Market In our box: • Sensors • Backplates with screws •...
Page 18 HINT: If there are bent or dented strike plates the backplate might not adhere properly. Straighten them or replace if needed. Check with a metal ruler if needed. HINT: 2 Optionally, you can also use a paint remover wheel with a grinder to help clean the strike plate before using soap and alcohol.
Page 19 Press so that the 3M glue has better adhesion. IMPORTANT: • Make sure the “UP” arrow is pointing up. • Install the backplates in the center to bottom of strike plate. • Remember that the sensor mounts from the top of the backplate and slides down to lock into place, leave clearance.
Page 20 Special instructions Special instructions for installation of the sensors on specific brands of Machines are as follows: John Deere, TerraGator, Fendt: On two center tube strike plates, behind the bed, Two rubber strips. This is essential to maximize the detection of any blockages. Monitor Installation: 1.
Page 21 6. Mount the hanging terminal of the power cable to the KEYED POWER position in the conector by inserting it from the back and pushing it in until it locks in place. 7. Connect the power cable to the cab power plug and connect the monitor in one of the two exit connectors provided.
Page 22 Repeater Installation: 1. Mount the repeater to the back of the machine, it is used to extend the range of the wireless messages. 2. Mount the sensor antenna (indicated with an arrow on the adhesive label) with good visibility to the sensors. 3.
Page 23: Cabin Power
Make sure to enable the repeater mode on the monitor otherwise the repeater will not communicate with the monitor. Here is how: 1. On the monitor, press and hold both buttons at the same time. Hold until display changes to advanced functions. 2.
Page 24: Display Start Up
Display start up Display Verifications Press the button until the screen comes The screen will turn on, check to ensure that all LEDs are working properly. At the end of the check, the display will show the firmware version number.
Page 25: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting 1 | Monitor will not turn on Check to ensure that power cable is intact and properly connected to a 12V-24V power supply (red/blue positive, black/negative). 2 | Monitor is not emitting sound Access the F2 function and adjust the monitor volume. 3 | How do I know if the sensor’s battery is dead? If you approach the magnetic pen of the pairing area and you should see the LEDs blink with the battery feedback.
Page 26 If necessary, the use of running water and neutral soap is recommended for more effective cleaning. Do not use pressurized water, this may damage the sensor. 7 | The monitor is beeping indicating an alarm on one or more sensors during normal application Check that there is no build-up on the sensors and if so, clean according to instructions above...
Page 27: Cleaning And Storage
Cleaning and storage It is recommended at the end of the season to wash the sensors with running water and mild soap DO NOT pressure wash, DO NOT use tools to scrape of build-up, as this may damage the sensor In between season, remove the sensors from the machine and store inside remember to make sure and keep all sensors for that specific machine together and...
