Choose the correct inlet and outlet coupler
for the hose and diffuser diameters.
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 antena 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 below.
TIP:
• Do not bend the couplers to install
in your system. That can increase
clogging or release during use.
TIP:
• Do not install the sensor

ATTENTION:
• Do not disconnect any others cables attached
to the battery of the tractor. It may affect the
functionality of other electronics in the tractor.
• The red connector must be protected with self-fusing tape.
• Preferably, the power cable should be connected directly
to the battery terminals.
ATTACH THE ANTENNA
• You will nd 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.

Network ID
All sensors must be congured with the network ID in
order to communicate with the Monitor. The network ID
can be found in the back of the Monitor or can be extract
by software operation. The sensor conguration can be
done with a Visum Monitor. Check how it can be done on
this manual.
The following steps must be done:
1. Find the address indicator on the rubber cover
(square with “P” and “L” and numbers).
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 conrmation beep or message.
5. Fill the address indicator with the number of
the implement and row.
ATTENTION:
• Never congure two sensors at the same
time, even with two different devices, because
the connections may cross each other.
TIP:
1. In order to change the address of any
sensor, just follow the steps again.
2. Before doing the sensor “addressing
procedure”, watch videos on Youtube by
J.Assy (video Visum Monitor).
3. When installing the sensors on your machine
initially, we recommend you “address” the
sensors to the monitor on your
workbench rst 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 rst.
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 then install the sensors on the
toolbar/row unit at the air diffuser/air
release. We recommend you install with
the row numbers running from the left
to the right (standing behind the toolbar facing
the tractor cab) beginning with 1 to 12, 1 to
16 or however many rows you have to monitor.
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 area where you “ADDRESS” the sensor with the
magnet that is included with the sensor.

Operation
• The Visum Monitor communicates
with the ow sensors, indicating the
presence or absence / blockage
of ow.
• When you turn on the monitor the
monitor should display a “00“on
display and both LED should be
OFF, indicating that no sensor has
communicated with the monitor. That
will happen every time that you turn
on your monitor.
• Under normal conditions (sensors
communicating and indicate ow),
the display show two dashes and
the LED of respect function (fertilizer
or seed) will light up green, indicating
that everything is Ok.
• The Monitor communicates only with
sensors assigned to its ID, which is
on a label on the back of the Monitor.
• In case of ow failure (absence or
blockage), the Monitor will beep and
the display will show the row number.
Also, the LED related to the ow
product (seed or fertilizer) will
turn red.

VISUM | 13
• If the sensor loses the
communication
for more than 5 minutes the monitor
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 ow
product (seed or fertilizer) will blink
blue. If the Monitor is power cycled
this sensor will no longer be listed.
• In case of MANEUVER2state a light will be whirling on
the display and the LED related to the ow product
(seed or fertilizer) will turn green.
• The monitor enter in MANEUVER state if 75% of the
rows (or more than 8 sensors, if the implement have
more than 12 rows) indicate no ow at the same time
• The Monitor gets out of maneuver state when more
than 50% of the sensors indicate the presence of ow.
• To extend the life of the internal batteries, ow sensors
are “sleeping” when they are not used. They wake up
only when they detect motion, like when the
ATTENTION:
If the monitor enters the MANEUVER state
during eld operation check if there is a problem
in a whole section.
TIP:
Each time that the monitor is turned on, check
if all the sensors are present after 2 minutes of
use. Use function F1 to do this.
2 MANEUVER state is typically when you are maneuvering on the
headlands making turns or similar maneuvering situations when
the fertilizer is not expected to be owing. It can be detect as
MANEUVER state if you turn off one section.

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