Assembly

Testing the cellular network

There must be cellular reception at the planned location so
that the transmitter can transfer the measured values. You
can test the reception using the ready-to-use transmitter. The
transmitter will be ready 20 minutes after it has been
switched on.
The status LED displays the signal strength.
The transmitter transmits values once per hour regardless of
whether sensors are already connected. The signal strength
cannot be tested during this transmission process. This sta-
tus is shown by a continuous blue light on the status LED when
the signal strength is being tested.
 Briefly hold the magnet against the recess in the transmit-
ter casing to test the cellular network.
The status LED can then display the following statuses:
LED Meaning
Blue, continuous Measured values are being trans-
ferred. Wait 5 minutes before trying
again.
Blue, flashing The signal strength is being tested
(max. 5 minutes).
Green Strong signal
Yellow Adequate signal
Red Insufficient signal
If the signal strength is insufficient, you must choose another
location for the monitoring station.
Placing the temperature and air humidity sensor
A near the plant
Place sensor A in a position which is as representative of the
crop as possible. Please note that environmental conditions
such as sinks, rivers or shade can influence the measured re-
sults considerably. Also inside greenhouses or pre-germina-
tion rooms, there are different location conditions and as far
as possible a typical place should be selected.
In the app, the tab below refers to sensor A.
 If necessary, press the stake provided into the base plate
of sensor A.
 Press sensor A into the earth until the base plate contacts
the earth, or secure sensor A in the immediate vicinity of
the plants.

Assembling the transmitter

Note the permissible operating temperature and humidity
(see "Technical Data" on page 14).
The transmitter has 3 eyelets which can be used to attach it to
a suitable place.
Installing the transmitter in a field
Secure the transmitter in a field to the transmitter bracket
provided –see also figure 6, page 4.
Field Monitoring | (10.1.18)
Positioning specifications for the transmitter:
– Above the plants
– Not covered by agricultural film
– Good position for transmission and reception, e.g. above
the crest of a bank
– Protected against damage, such as from tools or agricul-
tural machinery
– Socket facing downward
 Take the protective cap off the transmitter bracket and
push the bracket into the ground.
 Open the clamp, pull the transmitter bracket out and close
the clamp again.
 Use the eye at the top to hang the transmitter on the trans-
mitter bracket and push the safety cap onto the end of the
bracket.
 Thread a cable tie through the eye at the bottom and
around the transmitter bracket.
NOTE
 Risk of damage!
Impacts on the transmitter bracket could damage the
transmitter irreparably. Remove the transmitter brack-
et extension upwards when pushing the transmitter into
the ground using the tool.
Connecting the temperature and air humidity
sensor A to the transmitter (Basic product
variant)
The connectors used for the connections have keyways and
can therefore only be connected in the correct alignment.
Lay the cables so that they are protected against mechanical
damage, such as from tools or agricultural machinery.
 Insert the connector of the transmitter cable into the
socket on the transmitter and tighten the union nut by
hand in a clockwise direction (see figure 4, page 3).
 Connect the sensor cable with the Superseal connector to
the transmitter cable.
 Seal the unused sensor connector using the cap supplied.
Position and connect the temperature and air
humidity sensor B (only for Premium product
variants) (see figures 1–3, page 2)
Sensor B can be attached to the transmitter bracket using the
openings on the side of the weatherproof casing and the cable
ties supplied.
Sensor B is connected between sensor A and the transmitter.
Lay the cables so that they are protected against mechanical
damage, such as from tools or agricultural machinery.
 Attach the sensor to the transmitter bracket.
 Use the sensor connecting cables and the transmitter
cable to lay the cabling between the sensors and the trans-
mitter.
 Seal the unused connector of sensor A using the cap sup-
plied.
