Important Information
The AgXcel Synergist® system is designed for low volume distribuon of NutriSphere-N NH3 at a rate of 32
oz/acre. Higher rates are possible.
Note on ounces per acre
On the Pro 700 console display, the ow meter will be calibrated to measure this product in ounces, not
gallons. The display is programmed to show measurements in gallons, so be aware the numbers shown for
this product will actually be in ounces.
Ounces per acre means a very small amount of liquid is being distributed. At 6 mph on 30” spacing, 32 oz/
acre means that each row is doing just under 1 oz/min. On a 12 row implement the total amount being dis-
tributed is less than 12 oz/min. AgXcel’s Synergist system has been engineered to distribute this ow evenly
and accurately.
AgXcel’s Low Flow Magnetic Flow Meter
AgXcel’s Synergist system uses an electromagnec ow meter that is designed to accurately measure ow
on to 10 oz/min. With no moving parts this owmeter proves to be reliable, accurate, durable, and long
lasng.
Dual Micro tube Solution
AgXcel’s Synergist system uses our Dual Micro tube Soluon. Micro tubing eliminates the need for an
orice. By using a micro tube with an opening 4 to 5 mes larger than an orice, the risks of plugging are
greatly reduced.
By using a Dual Micro tube Soluon (two micro tubes), the system will be able to handle a variety of rates
and speeds. As well as handling a wide range of temperature changes that would aect the viscosity of the
product.
Floating Ball Manifold
Each row will be evenly distributed through a visual ow indicator with one or two oang balls. While pro-
viding a good indicaon of the ow to each row, they do not indicate the exact ow. AgXcel recommends
doing a catch test on each row to verify it’s distribuon.
Field Kit
The Synergist system has an oponal eld kit available (see pg.17 for details) containing key replacement
parts for your system to reduce equipment downme.
Product and Rinse Tank
The Synergist comes with a 55 or 110 gallon product tank and 3 gallon rinse tank. The rinse tank can be
lled with RV an-freeze to allow the system to be ushed when not in use for a period of me, thus pro-
tecng the system from freezing aer rinsing.
AgXcel’s Micro Control Valves
Implements that are 60’ or wider can be split into 2 secons to allow secon control. Standard single
secon setups are equipped with AgXcel’s Micro Control Valve on each oang ball manifold. This allows
the system pump to connuously run when applicaon stops at the end of the eld to allow for a quicker
return to the target rate when applicaon resumes. A two secon system will have the same Micro Control
Valves but can be congured for two secons.

Thank you for purchasing an AgXcel Precision Liquid Ferlizer Applicaon System (FAS) for your liquid
placement requirements. The AgXcel FAS system can be integrated into the following OEM controllers:
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 pump(s) 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.

• Outback
This guide contains informaon and sengs for AgXcel’s Synergist system for NutriSphere-N NH3. Changes
to components or conguraon sengs can be made to improve operaon of the system.
Below are some basic installaon steps.
• Have your control module and display in the cab connected and set up by your display dealer. To apply
anhydrous ammonia and NutriSphere-N NH3 you will need 2 rate control modules. One for the anhy-
drous ammonia and one for NutriSphere-N NH3, when using an Agxcel Integraon kit. However, when
using with the AgXcel AutoX Compact Plus, you only need 1 rate controller to control the NH3.
• Open and layout AgXcel’s Synergist and any components and familiarize yourself with system. See the
overview example for installaon ideas.
• Mount the AgXcel Synergist system on your equipment.
• Install and mount any oang ball manifolds, plumbing, and check valves to each row delivery unit.
• Aach any integraon harnesses.
• Apply sengs that you nd in this guide to your controller.
• Fill system with water and conduct ow and operaon tests.
• Winterize the system with RV an-freeze if freezing temperatures are expected.

Common Troubleshooting:
PWM Signal to Pump: Pins E1 to E2 should have 0-12 volts to energize the EPD
module to run the pump. Use manual mode to increase signal. Should get up to 12
volts after holding increase button.
Flowmeter Tap Test: Pins C2 and C3 are Flow Ground and Signal. If no flow is
registering on the display, you can tap between these two pins with a short wire. This
produces a pulse. The display should indicate a flow when this is done rapidly. (Note:
To help register flow for the tap test, change the flowmeter calibration to 10, so it will
show a flow with fewer taps. Be sure to reset the flow cal to the proper number after
the test.)
See the drawing of harness 201-215464Y3 on page 18 for all pin locations on the

Valve Calibration
Work Condition > Valve Cal > Advanced Valve Calibration
The electric pump systems typically run well with the following default settings. Try the following default
values as a starting point and make adjustments as needed for your system.
See the pictures on the following pages for other values.
If the system appears to adjust too slowly to rate or speed changes, increase the Integral Gain in increments
of 0.1. If necessary, go in increments of 0.05. If the Integral Gain is too high, the system will be unstable and
will go back and forth below and above the Target Rate.
Additional Tips for Getting Started
1. Set the Flow Error Timeout at 30—45 seconds until you get the system adjusted and operating
correctly. The default is 5 seconds. This may result in the application being shut down before you have a
chance to see how it is operating. After the system is operating correctly, this can be set lower to give you a
quicker warning if something is wrong. (Work Condition > Valve Cal > Advanced Calibration > Scroll down to
2nd page and Flow Error Timeout)
2. Set the Fault Speed to Slow or Off until you get the system adjusted and operating correctly. The
default is Normal. (Work Condition > Operate > Fault Speed) After the system is operating correctly, this can
be set back to Normal. You can run this at Slow if the system gives too many Fault Warnings at Normal.

Setup and Troubleshooting the Pro 700 AccuControl Liquid PWM System
(aka Intellivew IV Intellirate)
Note to SureFire people: The Default speed setting that works on our test stand does not work when the tractor is not
moving when the Pro 700 is plugged into a tractor that has Radar, Wheel, or GPS speed capability. This makes testing
the system in a Run mode impossible without driving the tractor. Use the method below, instead. On our test stand, set
the Default Speed to 0 (Toolbox > AccuCtrl > Default Speed > 0) before doing this.
To test the Pro 700 AccuControl on initial startup and in a troubleshooting situation, use the Liquid Cal mode.
(Work Condition > Liquid Cal)
1. Set up the Toolbox > AccuControl configuration page so all AccuControl items are set.
2. Set up the Work Condition > Valve Cal > Advanced Calibration screen to match the settings shown in the manual for
Tower (3/3/2016 manual or later) or PumpRight systems. The Valve Calibration procedure is likely to give results
that will not work. It may be fairly good except for an Upper Integrator Limit that is too low, or it may have totally
unworkable numbers in Dead Zone and other fields.
3. Set the Flow Error Timeout (on page 2 of the Valve Calibration setup) to 45
sec. This will let the system run for a while before it shuts down if it is not
detecting flow.
4. Go to Work Condition > Liquid Cal
5. If the Prime button does not show up here:
Home > Toolbox > AccuControl > Imp Config > Setup > Scroll down >
Liquid Prime > Enabled. (Pressing the Prime button will run the pump
for 10 seconds. To keep the pump running, press and hold the Prime button.)
6. To run the system from here with a simulated speed and target rate:
Liquid Op Mode > On Master Control > Apply > Next
7. Enter a Simulated Speed and Target Rate (these can be changed while
running in this mode to test other speeds or rates). Press Next.
8. Press Start to start the pump. System should run at Simulated Speed and
Target Rate. Measured Output should
count up as product is pumped. To see
actual flow in gpm, you need to set up
a Layout for the Left Area with Liq Flw
Rt Scn. This is very useful when
diagnosing pump or system issues. It
needs to be in the Left Area so you
can see it while running in this mode.
(Remember, when testing with water,
the pressure will be much less than it
will be with a fertilizer product. If the
pressure is too low, all the rows may not flow because there may not be
enough pressure to open all the check valves. Increase the rate until all rows
are flowing.)
9. If the pump does not run here, perform the other troubleshooting tests for hydraulic or electric pumps. You can start
the system here and use a voltmeter to verify that there is PWM voltage at the EPD or hydraulic valve. (If it is not
reading flow, it will quickly ramp up to maximum pump speed and shut off, giving a “Motor Stalled” error message.
To make this happen more slowly, set the Integral Gain to 0.1 to allow time for diagnostic observation.)
10. If the pump runs and liquid is flowing but no flow is showing in the Liq Flw Rt Scn box, check for 12 v at the
flowmeter connection (pins B & C) and do a tap test (pins A & C) to see if flow will register on the display (see note in
#9 about setting Integral Gain).
11. If the pump runs, but is surging, lower the Integral Gain. If it is pumping, but getting to rate very slowly, raise this.
12. If the system has section valves, they should open when this test is started. If they don’t open, check the
AccuControl Configuration setup (Toolbox > AccuControl > Section Control > Setup {should have green checkmarks,
Control Polarity is Active On}). Check Section Sw Box Setup > Config Mode > Auto (should say Run Screen in upper
right corner). Set up a Run Screen layout with Clutch Control 2X2 to have section switches on the display. Be sure
Boundary Control and Overlap Control are ON (Toolbox > Overlap). If they still don’t open, check for constant
voltage (pins A&B) and signal voltage (pins B&C) at valve.
Set up the Work Condition > Valve Cal > Advanced Calibration screen to match the settings shown in the manual
for GX2. e Valve Calibration procedure is likely to give results that will not work. It may be fairly good except for
an Upper Integrator Limit that is too low, or it may have totally unworkable numbers in Dead Zone and other elds.

If a section valve won’t open:
1. Plug another section connector that will open a valve
into that valve.
2. Plug the section connector of the valve that won’t
open into a valve that is known to be working.
3. Check voltage at the end of each harness going back
to the Field-IQ module to determine if there is a bad
harness.
4. See wiring schematic for pin-outs of each harness.

If the PWM voltage does not register here, check the voltage at
each harness connection back to the Field-IQ module.
PWM voltage will be between Pins 3 & 4 on the 16-pin
connectors and between pins E1 and E2 on the 30-pin block on
the back of the Field-IQ module.
This method can be used to partially simulate Manual operation. By starting with the Rate at 0.00 and slowly
increasing the Rate you can see how the pump operates as the Rate increases. This can help in diagnosing
where the trouble might be.
PWM Voltage—should increase as target rate
is raised. Voltage should end up around 13
volts.

Pump Priming and Bleeder Valve
AgXcel’s Micro Control Valve
AgXcel’s micro control valves are designed to eliminate the need for
large seconal valves. The small compact design makes them ideal for
controlling ow through the manifolds.
Implements that are 60  and wider may be set up with 2 control valves,
therefore half of the applicator can be shut o. These systems are setup
similar to a single secon setup. However, Secon 1 of the boom harness
will connect to one valve and Secon 2 will connect to the other valve.
Please note, implements that are less than 60 feet wide need to be
setup as one secon on order to prevent range dropping below ow
meter capabilies at lower speeds.
A bleeder valve is included on every AgXcel system.
Every row has a check valve. These valves do not let
air escape from the system unless it is pressurized.
12 volt electric pump are not good air compressors,
so pumps can struggle to prime due to air trapped
on the outlet side of the pump.
The bleeder valve is a small 1/4” valve that, when
opened, lets air escape from the pump outlet at
zero pressure. Open this valve unl liquid comes
out and then close the valve.
Bleeder Valve
AgXcel’s micro control valve (MCV) includes an
indicator light. The red light shows voltage/power
being supplied to the valve. It will turn Green
when receiving a signal to open/close.

AgXcel’s Mag Flow Meter
0.08 - 1.6 GPM
AgXcel’s Magnec Flow Meters are superior to turbine ow
meters in two ways. Magnec ow meters have no moving
parts. This eliminates any wear items or any potenal for
contaminants to jam a spinning turbine.
In addion, magnec ow meters detect ow by electrically
measuring the velocity of the liquid which make them inde-
pendent of viscosity or density of the liquid measured. While
extremely accurate when using the indicated calibraon
number, AgXcel strongly recommends performing a catch
test to verify the system is properly installed and congured.
The ow meter included with your Synergist system is rated
down to 10 oz/min, but will accurately measure ow down
to 8 oz/min. Anything below 8 oz and the ow meter may
not give a connuous pulse output.
Cauon: Before welding on the implement, disconnect the
ow meter or damage to the ow meter electronics may
occur.
Do not power wash the ow meter. High pressure spray directed at the back edge of the face plate or at the
wire connector may allow water into the ow meter electronics.
Pressure Sensor
The GX40 Synergist comes equipped with a 100 psi pres-
sure sensor to work with your controller. The sensor for
the rate controller is a 3-wire type sensor. The Sensor has
a 1/4” MPT ng.
Your display will show the system pressure on the in cab
screen. The pressure reading is only for informaonal
purposes and is not used in the ow control process.
Flow control uses the owmeter feedback only.
The pressure sensor is very helpful to opmize system
performance and troubleshoot any issues.
The pressure transducer is factory calibrated and will
display a very accurate pressure reading on your display.
No manual gauge is required. However, the Synergist will
have a visual gauge for quick reference when standing
near the system and not in cab to see controller display.
When aaching connector to pressure sensor, make sure
pins are aligned so they are not bent.

Pump Priming and Air Bleed Valve An air bleed valve is included with each pump to aid in system priming. It is shipped in the pump accessories bag and must be installed during system installation.
Why use an air bleed valve: Your system is equipped with a 4 lb. check valve on each metering tube. These valves do not let air escape from the system unless it is pressurized. 12 volt liquid pumps are not good air compressors. Therefore, the pump can struggle to prime due to air trapped on the outlet side of the pump. The air bleed valve is a small 1/4” valve that when opened lets air escape from the pump outlet at zero pressure. Open until liquid comes out and then close the valve. How to install the air bleed valve: Remove the 1/4” plug from the quick connect fitting on the center cross on the Tower (see picture). Next, insert the 1/4” tubing in the quick connect fitting. Run the 1/4” tubing to an easily accessible spot on your equipment. Next, cut the tubing and push the 1/4” valve onto the tubing. Finally, run the tubing to a low location where any product that escapes will run on the ground. Be sure the air bleed valve tube does not become plugged with dirt or it will not allow air to bleed.

EPD LED Signals
AgXcel has 2 styles for EPD’s. One of the models
has three lights and the other model has ve lights.
Ensure that you are looking at the correct diagram to
conrm the signals you are receiving.
The PWM’s take 12 volts for
power and will send that
voltage to the pumps to kick
on and o. If the pumps are
not turning on, then your
PWM might not be geng
12 volts or your pumps might
have gone bad.

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 baery for 2-3 seconds. Removing power from the EPD resets it.
2. Go to Diagnoscs, Secon Test to invesgate this issue.
3. In Secon Test, hold down “+” buon for a few seconds. A single tap of this buon 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 approximate ow
where the EPD kicks out. If this is below the ow you need you will need to reduce system pressure by:
• Looking for any unintended restricons or plugged rows
• Increase orice size
• Reduce ground speed
• Reduce applicaon rate
Electric pumps will not turn on
Connect pumps directly to baery
1. Find the EPD (electric pump driver) shown at right.
Connect the two connectors (highlighted green,
shown on the right) to each other. This will bypass
the module and supply 12 volts directly to pumps.
2. Do the pumps run? If not, check the 40 amp fuse
on the EPD harness that is connected to the trac-
tor baery. Inspect harnesses and connecons.
Make sure wire colors match up. (white/white,
black/black)
3. If using a dual pump system, test each pump by
plugging one pump at a me directly to the bat-
tery.

Inspect connections for burned out connectors.
Inspect all connecons for bent or burned out leads. Constantly running the system at a
high pressure or geng more than the required voltage (12v) can result in burned out
connecons causing the system to not work properly.

IMPLEMENT SWITCH KIT:
1. Run/Hold oponal connecons (If not using be sure to use
provided loop to close circuit)
• For use with a N.O. (normally open) whisker switch,
remove the dummy plug and connect to your run/hold
switch wires. A smaller gauge wire (18 AWG minimum)
may be used for this low current circuit.
• For use with a hall-eect sensor, remove the dummy plug
and aach the plug from your sensor.
Illustraon shown has a 3pin connector.
HOw IT wORKS
The Run/Hold circuit on the Auto-X simply requires a
switch to open and close to turn the fertilizer flow on or off.
Place the whisker switch on a 3 point arm or wheel frame
that changes angle as the implement is raised and lowered.
When the whisker arm is bent up (against the tool bar),
the switch is open. the Auto-X will be in
HOLD, not applying fertilizer.
When the whisker arm is straight (not touching the toolbar),
the switch will be closed. The Auto-X will be in RUN, applying fertilizer.
Whisker Run/Hold Switch
* The Whisker switch will work with many other controllers. However,
the polarity might be reversed from the positions described above.
