10 INSTALLATION OF COMPONENTS
10.1 CONFIGURATIONS
10.1.1 GeoSystem Monitor - Orchard Sprayer (OS) and Crop Sprayer (CS)
On the front, there are a series of switches that control the section valves of the sprayer,
the main control valve and the switch to increase/decrease the flow rate/pressure.
The flow rate can be adjusted manually or automatically.
The operator sets the dose of liquid to be sprayed (liters per hectare) and the monitor
regulates the flow rate/pressure through the regulating valve according to the speed of
travel and the active sections.
The operator can use the control switch to increase or decrease the amount of liquid
sprayed.

4. Alphanumeric display - 2 rows of 16 characters with backlight.
The system is supplied with a pre-drilled mounting bracket. It is provided with an MED
fastening system (optional) with dedicated accessories.
The system is able to support a maximum load of 2.5 Kg.
Application zone for self-adhesive labels with production codes, model and serial number.

The GeoSystem monitor must be positioned in the cockpit of the farm vehicle, with the
following precautions:
- Make sure that the monitor is not positioned in areas subject to vibrations or
knocks as this could damage the equipment or activate the keys unintentionally;
- Attach the device in a position that is visible and easy to reach by hand.
- The monitor must not obstruct movement or limit driver visibility.
10.4 GPS ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Connect the 8-pin M12 connector of the GPS antenna cable Tecomec Code #A01100002 or

10.5.1 Positioning advice
The speed sensors must be positioned with the following precautions:
- Install the sensor less than 4-5 mm away from the body to be detected;
- Do not install the sensor body too near to other metal objects that may affect the
operation of the detector.

10.6 FOAM MARKER CONNECTION - CROP SPRAYER (CS) VERSION
Figure 12 - Connection with the Foam Marker
The Geosystem cannot directly power the foam marker because its power consumption is too
high. Use an appropriate adaptor (#8394016).
10.7 FLOWMETER INSTALLATION

The flowmeter adapter allows connection to any flowmeter that provides a 12V pulse output
proportional to the flow. The image shows adapter connections.

10.8 HARDWARE INSTALLATION CHECK
Before using the GeoSystem, check the correct installation of each component:
•Check that the connectors are in the right sockets
•Check that the cables are the correct length
•Check that all screws are fully tightened
•Check the polarity and the supply voltage
The GeoSystem must be powered directly from the battery, and must not be connected to
a key-operated socket (a 10 A protection fuse must be installed).
When using valve assemblies with calibrated return, the correct functioning of the
GeoSystem is guaranteed only by the accurate calibration of all the sensors and the
proper calibration of the return flows.
