ASSEMBLY
1. Cut a piece of the hose at the diffuser side with the
length of the sensor-coupler assembly, so that the total
length will be the same as the original hose.
2. Place the sensor with the
internal antenna facing “up”
or “skyward”. The internal
antenna is located to the left
of the square patch with “P”
and “L” between the “J” and
“A” of the word J. Assy. See
illustration.
TIP:
•Do not bend the couplers to install
in your system. That can increase
cloggingor releaseduring use.

Recommendations
TIP:
•Do not point or align the sensor antenna
toward a metal barrier, that could degrade the
communication efficiency from the sensor to
the monitor.
ATTENTION:
•Do not install the sensor upside down.

Installation | Monitor
1. Disassemble the Monitor bracket by removing the two side
nuts.
2. Cleantheinstallationsurfacewithaclothandalcohol.
3. Removethefilm fromthedouble-sided tape and fasten the
brackettothesurfaceby pressingthewholeareaof thetape.
4. Wait for 15 minutes and then mount the Monitor on the
bracketwiththetwosidenuts.
5. If you install the bracket on a glass surface, putthe anti-UV
tape on the opposite side of the glass in order to protectthe
double-sidedtapefromthesun.
6. Press the button to turn on the Monitor and hold it for5
secondsto turnitoff.
Alternatively, the tape may be removed to mount the bracket
withscrewsorattachedtoa barwithclampsorRAMMountkit
(notincluded).
ATTENTION:
TheMonitorshould be installed with the antenna
in a vertical line and avoid putting theantenna in
the horizontal position.
The Monitor should be installed with the best
possible line of sight to the sensors in order to
avoidcommunicationproblems.
Avoid installing the monitor close to the cab
ROPS column. Keep a minimum distance of
12 in.between monitorand column.

ATTACH THE ANTENNA
•You will find the antenna inside your
Monitors box.
•Attach it to the back of the Monitor by
threading on the connection. Do not
“over-tighten”.
•Position the antenna so that it is in
a vertical orientation.
ATTENTION:
•Do not disconnect any other cables attachedto
the tractor battery. It may affect the

All sensors must be configured with the network ID in
order to communicate with the Monitor. The network ID
can be found on the back of the Monitor or can be extract
ed thru operation software. The sensor configuration can
be done with a Visum Monitor. Check how it can be done
in this manual.
The following steps must be done:
2. Wake up the sensor by shaking it.
3. Place the magnet on the address indicator
(make circular movement to easily turn on the
internal switch).
4. Wait for the confirmation beep or message.
5. Fillthe address indicator with the number of
the implement and row.
Network ID
1. Find the address indicator onthe rubber cover.
ATTENTION:
Never configure two sensors at the same time,
even with two different devices, because the
connectionsmaycrosseachother.
TIP:
1.
In order to change the address ofanysensor,
just follow the steps again, before doing the
sensor “addressing procedure”.
2.When installing the sensors on your machine
initially, we recommend you “address” the
sensors to the monitor on your workbench
first before installing the sensors on the
toolbar row units.

VISUM | 11
TIP:
4. Line up all your sensors on the workbench
and write the row number on each first.
Then add all the couplers and hose clamps.
5. Then you can either power up the monitor at
the workbench with a 12V battery to
complete the “Addressing” procedure, or
carry the sensors to your tractor cab where
you have installed the Monitor to complete
the “Addressing” procedure.
6. After that install the sensors on the
toolbar/row unit at the air diffuser/airrelease.
We recommend you install with the row
numbers running from the left to theright
(standing behind the toolbar facingthe tractor
cab) beginning with 1 to 99,ormanyrowsyou
havetomonitor.
7. Do not mount the monitor in the cab using a
large high-powered magnet mounting kit or
place a magnet near the monitor as it can
cause the monitor to fail.
This is the areawhere you“ADDRESS” the sensor with the
magnet that is included with the sensor.

•The Visum Monitor communicates
with the flow sensors, indicating the
presence or absence / blockage
offlow.
•When you turn on the monitor the
monitor should display a “00“on
display and both LEDs should be
OFF, indicating thatno sensor has
communicatedwith the monitor. That
will happen every time that you turn
on your monitor.
•Under normal conditions (sensors
communicating and indicating flow),
the display should show two dashes
and the LEDs of respected function
(fertilizeror seed) will show green,
indicatingthat everything is Ok.
•The Monitor communicates only with
sensors assigned to its ID, which is
on a label on the back oftheMonitor.
•In case of flow failure (absence or
blockage), the Monitor will beep and
the display will show the row number.
The LED related to the product flow
(seed or fertilizer) will
turn red.
Operation

VISUM | 13
•If the sensor loses communication
for more than 5 minutes themonitor
will indicate missing sensor. In that
case the monitor will beep and the
display will show the row number.
Also, the LED related to the
product flow (seed or fertilizer) will
blinkblue.
•In case ofMANEUVER2,a light will be whirling onthe
display and the LED related to the flow product (seed
or fertilizer) will turn green.
•The monitor willenter MANEUVER state if 75% of the
rows (or more than 8 sensors, if the implement has
morethan12rows)indicatingno flowatthesametime
•The Monitor will exit maneuver state when more than
50%of the sensors indicate the presence offlow.
•Toextend the life ofthe internal batteries, flow sensors
are “sleeping” when they are not used. They wake up
only when they detect motion, like when the
implement moves, and the Monitor is on.
*The VERSION is shown every time that you turn your Monitor
ON.
2MANEUVER state is typically when you are maneuvering on the
headlands making turns or similar maneuvering situations when
the fertilizer is not expected to be flowing. It can be detected as
MANEUVER state if you turn off one section.
TIP:
Each timethatthe monitoristurned on,checkif
all the sensors are present after 2 minutes of
use.Usefunction F1 to do this.
ATTENTION:
If the monitor enters the MANEUVER state
during field operation check if there is a problem
with the whole section.

F1 | Reading sensor status
When entering the screen, it shows which
sensors are present and the rows with
their respective state.
The monitor should present on the screen
the ordered listof rows and their connected
sensors starting with the lowest number
and the time between the increment of the
row information should be shown in 2 seconds. All states
shown must be the sensors BEFORE switching state.
When increasing the row number, the monitorshould show
the corresponding state of the fertilizer or seed row on the
respective LEDs. If the monitor does not have a seed or
fertilizer sensoron the row, the LEDs should be off, otherwise
itshould follow the following logic:

F5 | Address sensors
Entering the function allows you to add a new sensor to
your sensor list.
Using , the row number is increased, the user must
select the row number to be added, the monitor will
present the row number that will be addressed with the
LEDs off. The monitor should also have a rapid increment
if is pressed for more than 1 second, until it is
released, with an increase of 5 positions persecond.
When selecting the row number to be addressed, the
user must press to confirm the selection.
During addressing, theLEDs should flash in white, while
the DISPLAY displays the row number to be addressed
statically.
