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.
INITIAL INSTALLATION STEPS
AgXcel Fertilizer Application System Overview
(Read Instrucons Completely Before Beginning Installaon)
• Ag Leader
• John Deere Green Star
• Trimble
• Raven
• Top Con
• 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.

AgXcel Precision Ferlizer Applicaon Systems begin at the AccuControl Rate and Secon Control Module.
The image below show this control module. You will need to purchase this module from you Case IH dealer.
You will also need to purchase an unlock code for your Pro 700 display to enable rate control funcons.
The rate controller has two harness connecons. The rst is the connecon to the Case IH wiring harness
that connects to the in-cab display. The second is where the AgXcel system harnesses begin.
This guide will provide instrucons and screen shots of the Pro 700 display.

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
30-pin connector.
Note: If applying 2 products (such as anhydrous ammonia and NutriSphere-N
NH3) with the Pro 700 AccuControl you will need 2 Field-IQ Modules.

Go to Toolbox>Layout
Select Current Layout and then select New.
Name the Layout. Under Run Screen select a screen.
In the white boxes consider adding the following items
to a Run Screen:
 AccuControl Speed
 Master Control
 Liquid Op Mode
 Liquid Control
 Liq App Rate Scan Container
 Liq Flow Rt Scan
 Section Control
 Overlap Ctrl Overlap Control
 Clutch Control
The Run Screen Layout is largely a matter of operator preference. Some of these items may be added to the
Left Hand Area if space is available there, or more than one Run Screen can be set up.
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.
