Greenspec AFP Nano line repeater
Art. nr. 200301
The Greenspec greenhouse automaon system works with an opcal
bre cable that transmit the informaon through the greenhouse.
New is the AFP Nano unit, in three variaons:
 AFP Nano line repeater
 AFP Nano line transmier plus connector for the Thies WSC11
meteo staon: the AFP Nano meteo
 AFP Nano line transmier plus inbuilt temperature and relave
humidity sensor: the AFP Nano Measurement box
These small praccal units will help you in your greenhouse data
transmission. You connect them into the opcal line and you connect
to a power supply.
The AFP Nano line repeater is an alternave to the AFP Lite. On the
next page a comparison.
The line repeater funcon is needed to keep the signal stable over a
longer distance. Up to 120 m in a greenhouse your signal is stable. But
at a longe distance place a Line repeater.
Installaon is very easy:
 Open the box.
 Fix the opcal cable on both sides of the Nano unit.
 Make a connecon to either 14-24V DC or 12-24 V AC, see the
orange circle. The polarity is not important.
 Once you have powered the system and the opcal line is
running, you see a signal on the unit. It should be a green LED,
then you know it works. Close the box.

Connecon to the opcal bre line
For the connecon of the opcal ber you have to lead the opcal bre to the unit. Then the right length has
to be cut with the special cung tool, it is important that the cut is straight. The connecon is double wire,
always the line coming out from the blue side of the last AFP has to go into the black one of the AFP Nano
and vice versa for the blue one.
Acvate the AFP Nano in the soware:
The AFP Nano versions will be recognised on the soware as a AFP. When you put the AFP Nano in the line,
for the dierent ones a dierent procedure is started.
The AFP Nano line reinforcer has no funcons to acvate, so you only see that it is recognised, with that you
are ok)
(see the manual chapter Seng up the computer system\automac discovery wizard and acvang the AFP
in the soware)

An alternave for the AFP line repeater is the AFP Lite
The AFP Lite against the AFP Nano line transmiter:
 If you only have to reinforce the signal, use an AFP Nano line transmier.
 If you have some funcons to regulate, as well as some inputs to read in,
use the AFP Lite.
 (If you need to read measurement data for temperature and humidity:
consider the AFP Nano measurement box)
