Thank you for purchasing an AgXcel Precision Liquid Ferlizer Applicaon 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
• Raven
• Top Con
• Outback
This integraon into these displays will require each of the OEM’s Liquid Control Module which will need to be
purchased from your local OEM dealer. The rate controller will provide the data required to manage the speed
of the AgXcel electric or hydraulic pumps based on the ow response of the ow meter and the vehicle speed.
The FAS system is also capable of managing secon controls, also referred to as swath control, to minimize
overlap areas with oponal secon control valves.

1. Install the OEM display and Liquid Control Module per OEM instrucons.
2. Open the AgXcel FAS packages. Layout and familiarize yourself with the components.
3. Mount the AgXcel FAS GX system on your equipment.
4. Plumb the tank to the GX lter inlet. All FAS systems are plumbed with dual lters, 50 and 80 mesh, and
the inlet should always be the 50 mesh.
5. Install the manifold system. This is a GX2 chassis base bracket that have oang ball indicators. These will
mount on the toolbar. Check valves should be mounted according to the mounng instrucons provided
and plumbing to each row unit delivery point from the oang ball indicators.
6. Aach the ow meter outlet to secon valve or manifold inlet. If using secon valves, aach secon valve
outlets to the corresponding oang ball indicator inlets.
7. Aach harnesses to the appropriate OEM liquid rate controller.
8. Setup OEM controller to manage the AgXcel FAS according to the aached conguraon details.
9. Fill system with water and conduct inial operaon and tests to ensure all seng and calibraons are
correct.
10. Winterize system with RV anfreeze if freezing temperatures are expected.

The image below shows the output funcons by pin locaons on the AgLeader Liquid Product Control Module.
Use this informaon to verify if the AgLeader system is providing the correct output. If it is not, contact your
AgLeader dealer to check and repair the module. Also review the sengs on the AgLeader display to verify the
system is setup properly.

PWM Signal to Pump: Pins 2 -7 should have 0-12 volts to turn the pump on. Use manual mode  increase the
signal. You should get up to 12 volts aer holding the increase buon.
Flow Meter Tap Test: Pins 3 and 4 (on the 8-pin connector) are Signal and Ground. If no ow is registering on
the display you can tap between these two pins with a short wire or paper clip. This produces a pulse. The
display should indicate a ow when this is done rapidly.

1. Enter manual mode by pushing the “” buon in the upper right corner of the screen. You can idenfy
that you are in manual mode when the  says .
2. If using an implement switch, move implement to lowered posion. If not using an implement switch, a
jumper must be installed (See wiring diagram).
3. On the Switch Box, turn the Master switch on. Turn secon switches on and o to check proper secon
valve operaon. Leave all secon valves on.
4. Use the Up arrow on the right side of the screen to increase ow. Does Flow Rate display a ow rate? Is it
stable and the system is primed? Do increase and decrease buons increase and decrease ow?
5. When you can increase and decrease ow using the arrows, you are ready to move to the next step.
6. Conduct a catch test to verify the owmeter calibraon is correct. It is unusual if the Flow Calibraon num-
ber needs to be changed. The most accurate method to measure the volume of water is to place a mea-
suring cup under every nozzle and add together the amount from each nozzle. This assures that 100% of
the water is collected and that all rows are equal. At a minimum, collect water from 4-6 row. 

1. Push the buon in the lower right corner to return to the main run screen. Verify a speed in MPH is shown.
If not, return to setup and enter a manual ground speed.
2. Return to the Rate Control Detail screen. Push the  buon in the upper corner to enter auto mode. You
can tell you are in auto more when a rate is displayed under .
3. Turn on Master and Secons switches. The system should begin to pump liquid in automac control mode.
Is the ow in GPM stable? Is it applying at the correct rate? (actual rate = target rate?)
4. Change rate using screen buons for rate 1 and rate 2. Does acutal rate change to equal new target rate?
5. Close 1 secon valve. Does ow decrease? Does applied rate sll equal target rate?
6. Change speed and target rate to minimum and maximum values. Deos system perform at these values?
Does the system pressure seem reasonable? (Remember ferlizer will increase pressure over water)

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.
2. Go to Diagnostics, Section Test to investigate this issue.
3. In Section Test, hold down “+” button for a few seconds. A single tap of this button produces a
very small change in signal to the valve, so you must hold it.
4. Increase the ow slowly, checking the “1,2,3” screen to see you ow in GPM. Find the ap-
proximate ow where the EPD kicks out. If this is
below the ow you need you will need to reduce
system pressure by:
• Look for any unintended restrictions or
plugged rows
• Increase orice size
• Reduce ground speed
• Reduce application rate
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 circled to each
other (bypass the module and supply 12 volts di-
rectly to pumps)
2. Do the pumps run? If not, check the 40 amp
fuse in the EPD harness near the tractor battery.
Inspect harnesses and connections.
3. If 2 pump system, plug pumps in by themselves to check both.
Electric pumps only run w/ 12 volts direct from battery
Connect pumps and power harness back to EPD.
1. Go to Rate Control Detail screen to investigate this issue.
2. Turn system on and press the increase button.
3. Remove PWM valve connector and check voltage. You will need 1-12 volts to turn pumps on.
4. If 1-12 volts is not present, check harnesses and review control valve type setup.
5. Go back to the Liquid Product Control Module. Check voltage between pins 2 & 7 on the 8-pin
connector. There should be between 6-12 volts while in section test after holding increase but-
ton in Manual mode.
6. If you cannot get voltage at pins 2 & 7, contact your AgLeader dealer for further assistance.
