1.3 SENSOR CONNECTIONS AND WIRING

All Farmscan sensor wires have a common colour code system.

WHITE = SIGNAL

5

Some sensors such as wheel sensors and shaft sensors only have two wires (signal and ground).

Other sensors that require +12 volts as well as signal and ground will have 3 wires, such as flow sensors, bin level sensors and radar speed sensors.

Look at the back panel of the RFM MONITOR you will see that PORTS 1 - 5 and the wheel input connections are marked to accept the white signal wire from the relevant sensor.

The black wires (common) from each sensor can be connected together and shared between pins

7 or 9. e.g. In the drawing the wheel sensor is connected to Pin 6 (white) and Pin7 (black)

2200 RFM

If a flow sensor with 3 wires was connected to Port 5, the connection would be as follows:

WHITE WIRE TO PIN 5 (PORT 5 SIGNAL)

BLACK WIRE

RED WIRE

TO PIN 9 (COMMON)

TO PIN 8 (+12 V OUT)

2200 RFM monitor: OPERATION

The standard wheel sensor supplied with the surveillance kit, consists of a sensor and magnet to be fitted onto any undriven ground wheel.

Install the wheel sensor on an undriven front tractor wheel or onto a trailed implement wheel using one of the optional 2 way extension cables or the 2201 extended junction kit.

Alternatively, if the wheel sensor is not practical you can choose from any of the optional speed sensing kits explained in section 3.3.

WHEEL SENSOR INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Bolt the wheel magnet onto the wheel in a position that allows it to sweep directly past the wheel sensor within 15 - 20 mm once every rotation.

The magnet can be mounted anywhere in a radius from centre of the wheel. Near the hub will ensure the best ground clearance.

The sensor must be rigidly bolted to an existing structure, ideally in a protected position.

If mounting the sensor on a steered wheel, make sure the sensor moves with the steering mechanism to maintain equal clearance between the magnet and sensor when turning from lock to lock.

Connect sensor to cable supplied and use cable ties to secure cable away from potential damage.

Allow enough slack for axle movement and steering.

Connect wheel sensor to plug at rear of surveillance monitor.

WHITE WIRE TO WHEEL PIN 6

BLACK WIRE

Snip off unnecessary dust plugs.

TO GROUND PIN 7

NOTES :

Four different magnet mounting ideas.

1) Drill through wheel rim and bolt magnet on.

2) Braze magnet nut onto rim and screw magnet into nut.

3) Cut thread off magnet and araldite magnet to rim.

4) Knock out a wheel stud and make up a piece of flat bar with suitable holes each end.

5) Bolt the magnet to one end and secure the flat bar under the wheel stud adjusted to the required position.

1.6 SPLIT WIDTH LINKING INSTALLATION

The RFM MONITOR is able to accept up to three separate width calibrations for left, centre and right boom operation by making a connection from existing controlling switches to the RFM

MONITOR.

To make the connection work, your existing boom control switch panel must be operating from the same 12 volt DC source as your RFM MONITOR.

Simply run a separate single core wire from signal Ports 1, 2 & 3 (white) of the RFM MONITOR to each of the respective left, centre and right controlling switches on your boom control panel.

Connect the linking wire to the switched terminal that becomes live (+ 12 V) when the boom solenoid is open (operating).

IMPORTANT :

Whichever Ports 1, 2 or 3 are used must be enabled for split width calibration (see Section 3.4).

The solenoid valves must be physically connected to enable ‘SPLIT WIDTH CALIBRATION’. If the solenoid valves become disconnected, then ‘SPLIT WIDTH CALIBRATION’ will not function.

1.7 REMOTE RUN / HOLD INSTALLATION

The RUN / HOLD function may be activated or deactivated by making or breaking an electrical connection from Pin 12 of the RFM MONITOR to any existing 12 - 13.8 V DC electrical device that is switched on or off whenever the machine is engaged (working).

NOTE :

If using split width linking, it is not necessary to connect the remote run / hold function, because the monitor will go on hold when all widths are off.

The wire connected from run / hold Pin 12 must make connection to ground (negative) either when the machine is engaged or when the machine is disengaged.

The switch and monitor must be all on the same 12 Volt source.

Use a multimeter or testlight to find a contact point that is switched to ground when your implement is engaged or disengaged.

2.0 OPERATION

10

The 2200 RFM MONITOR is designed to provide a complete range of machinery monitoring functions in one unit.

The basic monitor provides speed, area and distance readouts with connection of a wheel sensor supplied in the kit.

Up to five additional machinery functions can be monitored by connecting appropriate sensors into the five spare ports of the RFM MONITOR (Ports 1 - 5).

Each Port can be set to accept any one of a variety of different sensor functions.

(See “PORT / SENSOR COMPATIBILITY” CHART - Page 4).

This means you can fit different sensors to various machines and simply change the setting of each

Port to suit the type of sensor installed.

When the RFM MONITOR is supplied standard on a new machine, refer to separate instructions to find which sensor options are installed on the machine and which ports will need to be activated

(enabled).

An inbuilt memory backup system will hold all calibration and accumulated totals in memory for at least 1 month after disconnection from the 12 Volt DC power source.

2.3 POWER ON / OFF KEY

Whenever the monitor is switched on the display screen will firstly confirm which software program is installed. e.g.

SURVEILLANCE

The version number immediately follows this: e.g.

VERSION 3.0y

The version number relates to the functions and features programmed into your unit.

If ever an upgraded program is installed, a new version number e.g. “VERSION 3.0y” will be displayed.

The readout will always display the speed readout after switching on. e.g.

SPEED 0.0 KPH

Based on entering a target application rate and allowable error percentage as a calibration factor, the monitor will give a “RATE HI” or “LO” alarm.

Refer Calibration Section 3.5.

For example if the target rate is set for “50 L / HA” and the allowable error is set for 10% then the alarm will activate outside these limits. e.g.

RATE HI 58 L / HA

OR

RATE LO 42 L / HA

The alarm may be silenced by pressing “RUN / HOLD” which will also hold the area meter.

If the rate error calibration is set to zero % then the rate of application will be displayed, but there will be no alarm when the rate varies.

3.0 CALIBRATION

23

Variable information such as machinery “WIDTH” and “WHEEL” size must be entered into the calibration memory before you can operate the surveillance monitor as a speed / distance / area meter.

If you wish to use any of the various sensor options connected to Ports 1 - 5. You must enable

(activate) each Port for the required function - see Calibration 3.4.

The “CAL” (Calibration) key takes you through a series of set-up questions. Each time you press

“CAL”, the next question will be displayed to the left of the screen. e.g.

Use the ‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ arrow key to change the calibration factor and press “CAL” again to step onto the next question.

When you use the ‘UP’ / ‘DOWN’ keys, notice the numbers change slowly at first then faster if you continue to hold the key.

The reset key can be used to zero any calibration factors on display.

If you wish to step back to a previous “CAL” option, you must press a function key, eg “SPEED”, to escape the “CAL” routine then start again.

The “WIDTH” calibration is simply a measure of the effective implement width in METRES.

Press “CAL” key to display “WIDTH” and use ‘U’P and ‘DOWN’ keys to set correct width. e.g.

SPLIT WIDTH CALIBRATION (OPTIONAL)

In situtations where the width may be split into two or three sections, for instance a sprayer with left, centre and right boom control you can enter separate left, centre and right widths so that area and rate readouts will be corrected whenever the width of operation changes. This will also act to place the monitor in ‘HOLD’ mode whenever all width switches are turned off.

To enable this possibility (see Installation Section 1.6 Split Width Linking) and (Calibration Section

3.4 Port 1, 2 and 3 left, centre, right widths).

! IMPORTANT

Split Width calibration procedure will not work unless Ports 1, 2 and / or 3 are enabled for width detection and the appropriate electrical connections are made between the left centre and right controlling switches to Ports 1, 2 & 3.

SPLIT WIDTH CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

1. Turn left, centre and right boom control switches OFF. Turn master boom control switch on.

(Beware of upside down switches on American boom control units.

2. Press “CAL” key to display “WIDTH”. e.g.

WIDTH L 5.40 M

4. Use ‘UP’ / ‘DOWN’ keys to set correct “LEFT WIDTH”.

6. When all widths are set, turn all switches on together to display the overall width e.g.

WIDTH ALL 12.20 M

7. Turn all width switches or master switch off to display “WIDTH OFF”. e.g.

WIDTH OFF 00.00 M

NOTE: split width calibration will not work if sprayer solenoids disconnected from wiring.

The wheel factor is a measurement of distance travelled between pulses from the wheel input sensor.

There are various types of wheel input sensors available, to suit different applications. Choose an appropriate sensor to minimise potential slippage error caused by driven wheels or to get more pulses for slower working speeds.

Suits free rolling tractor or implement wheel with at least one metre rolling circumference or more.

Provides high accuracy, totally independent ground speed monitoring, ideal for 4WD tractors and front assist tractors with linkage implements and slow working speeds.

Screws inline with existing speedo drive cable, suits most Japanese 4WD vehicles with

M22 x 1.5 Thread.

Picks up metal objects rotating on shaft e.g. Bolt head or teeth of a sprocket, well suited to high rotation speed or to give multiple pulses on a slow moving shaft.

Suits installation on FIXED tailshaft, utilises magnet on 100mm hoseclamp and switching type sensor. (magnet can be transferred to other size hoseclamps).

Suits installation on drive shaft related to ground wheel drive, provides 32mm hose clamp magnet and switching type sensor.

WHEEL CALCULATION PROCEDURE

1.

2.

If the wheel input sensor is subject to changing tyre load, then half fill tank / bin.

Measurement procedure must be performed in the field, not on a tarmac

(recheck measurement when moving from hard to soft conditions). e.g.

TEST WHEEL 0

4. Creep vehicle forward and watch the counter increment on every sensor pulse.

Stop exactly on a pulse, then press reset key to bring test wheel counter back to zero.

5.

6.

Peg ground at bottom centre of any wheel as a starting reference point for measurement.

Drive forward for approximately 25 metres or more and stop exactly on a pulse update. e.g.

TEST WHEEL 14

7.

8.

Now measure the exact distance travelled and divide the pulses counted into the distance covered. e.g. Distance 25.86 metres

÷ 14 pulses = 1.847 M / PULSE

Now press “CAL” key to display “WHEEL” calibration and use

‘UP’ / ‘DOWN’ keys to enter the correct wheel factor.

WHEEL 1.847 M

NOTE: At slow working speeds - under 8 kph additional magnets or another sensing means may be required for optimum response of monitor speed and rate readouts.

Use this formula to check for suitability and if the answer is less than 3 you will require more pulses for a smooth response.

2. If you want an alarm for excessive rate variation you must also set the allowable % error (0% ERROR = NO ALARM). e.g.

ERROR 10%

3.

This means the “HI” or “LO RATE ALARM” will activate if the rate varies outside + / - 10% of the set rate.

To activate the 100 litre low tank alarm, enter the spray tank holding capacity. e.g.

TANK VOL 1500 L

4. The correct flow sensor “PULSE PER LITRE (PPL)” factor must be entered. This is essential for accurate operation. e.g.

FLOW PPL 110.5

All flow sensors output a slightly different number of pulses per litre of liquid throughput. This may vary due to plumbing differences, wear or liquid viscosity.

Each Farmscan flow sensor is factory tested and has a unique PPL factor engraved on the underside of the flow sensor body e.g. PPL 110.5.

The factory PPL factor is true for water and will be accurate to within +/- 2% over the entire operating range of the flow sensor.

More accurate calibration can be achieved using the flow PPL calibration procedure explained on the next page.

FLOW PPL CALCULATION PROCEDURE

If you would like to check or improve the flow sensor accuracy, follow this procedure:

1. Make sure the flow sensor is fully primed with the liquid to be measured.

(A ball valve or solenoid valve shut off system should be installed down stream to stop / start the test).

2. Prepare a container of known quantity to catch the output.

20 LITRES OR MORE FOR 1" FLOWSENSOR

100 LITRES OR MORE FOR 2" FLOWSENSOR display. e.g.

TEST FLOW 0

3.6 REMOTE RUN / HOLD CALIBRATION

If the “RUN / HOLD” facility is being activated remotely, the connection may be either to an existing switch that turns power on to run the machine, e.g. electric over hydraulic control.

Alternatively, power may be off when the machine is operating, e.g. an electric clutch that is normally engaged without power and disengages with power on.

Press the “CAL” key in succession to display the “RUN / HOLD” calibration.

When the remote “RUN / HOLD” calibration is set to “DISABLED”, then only the front panel “RUN

/ HOLD” key is able to be used. e.g.

RUN/HOLD DISABLED

To activate the remote “RUN / HOLD” function for power on to run, use ‘UP’ / ‘DOWN’ keys to set

“RUN / HOLD ACTIVE ON”. e.g.

R / HLD ACTIVE ON

To activate the remote “RUN / HOLD FUNCTION” for power off to run, set “RUN / HOLD ACTIVE

OFF”. e.g.

R / HLD ACTIVE OFF

Whenever the monitor is in “RUN MODE” (active), the front key panel “RUN / HOLD” can still be used to place the monitor in “HOLD” mode.

3.7 CALIBRATION WARNING

The RFM MONITOR has a unique protection system that compares and checks all your calibration settings to warn if any calibration factor becomes corrupted (changes value without your knowledge).

This is not a regular occurrence, but could be caused in a 'noisy' electrical environment e.g. An old petrol truck with wire ignition leads or faulty alternator.

When a corruption is detected, the monitor will beep continuously and the readout will display

“CHECK CAL” warning. e.g.

CHECK CAL

Press the “CAL” key and check all calibration factors.

See the next page for the total reset procedure to be performed if “CHECK CAL” is displayed.
