Power and Relay Wiring Instructions:
1. Choose one of these two ways to connect power to the cable that is
attached to our box :
- AC powered units -
Black = 120v Power Input
Brown/Black stripe = Neutral
- DC powered units -
Red = 7-40v DC + Power Input
Red/black stripe = DC GND
2. Make sure power switch in the upper left portion of our circuit
board is turned on.
3. Once you have power applied to our unit, Call AgSense at
605-352-8350 to have the configuration sent to the unit so it will
start to read the flow meter.
4. Also, once power is applied to our unit, the configuration has been
sent to the unit, and water is flowing through the pipe, the GPS
light in the upper right corner of our circuit board will be blinking.
Optional: This unit has 2 relays that can be used to via the website to
remotely control other equipment.
-Relay/Wire Connections -
Relay 1 Common = Blue
Relay 1 Normally Open = Orange
Relay 1 Normally Closed = Yellow
Relay 2 Common = Blue/Black stripe
Relay 2 Normally Open = Orange/Black stripe
Relay 2 Normally Closed = Yellow/Black stripe

Power Requirements for these units:
DC Powered Unit 7-40V DC:
At 12v DC: 1.0A MAX
0.1A - 0.5A during normal operation
120vAC Powered Unit:
At 120v AC: 0.25A MAX
0.05A - 0.15A during normal operation
The above numbers are the current required for our unit to operate. Below is the current the relays in
our box can control:
On both AC and DC units, each relay can handle a peak max of 5A, 3A constant (at a max voltage of
120vAC, or 30vDC).
