1. Loosen the screws (A) that hold the front panel in place.
2. Lift out the front panel.
3. Be careful not to pull the flat cable (B), as this may damage the connector.
4. Knock out the number of knock-out pieces (C) in the cabinet base needed for input sensors and mains sup-
ply.

3 Installation guide
The FarmOnline+ DataLink must be connected to cables for input sensor, power supply and any Ethernet net-
work.
3.1 Electrical connection
Installation, servicing and troubleshooting of all electrical equipment must be carried out by quali-
fied personnel in compliance with the applicable national and international standard EN 60204-1
and any other EU standards that are applicable in Europe.
The installation of a power supply isolator is required for each motor and power supply to facilitate
voltage-free work on the electrical equipment. The power supply isolator is not included.
3.2 Connection of network
If a Local Area Network (LAN) is available, we recommend connecting the device to this to obtain Internet con-
nection. Otherwise the device will use the built-in 4G modem to communicate via the Internet.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the network connector LAN1, which is located on the CPU module in the cabinet
cover.
Figure2: Cabinet cover with CPU module.
3.3 Connection of input sensors
The FarmOnline+ DataLink can be connected to up to 11 input sensors of the following type:
Input sensor Limit value (gives direct data transmission)
Conveyor run time counter
DOL 114 (humidity) 1 %
DOL 114 (temperature) 0.5 °C
DOL 12 (temperature) 0.5 °C
DOL 19 (CO2) 20 ppm
DOL 53 (NH3) 1 ppm
Feed weigher DOL 99A (5 kg per pulse) 0.1 t
Feed weigher DOL 99A (25 kg per pulse) 0.1 t
Water meter (max. 4 pulses per second) 0.1 m3
It collects data from input sensors once every minute.
Data is sent at least once every 5 minutes. However, a value is sent immediately if the difference to the last
read value is greater than the limit value.
