It uses LoRa modulation on
868 Mhz frequencies and
requires xSense to function.
The range of xNode LoRa can vary between 500 to over 2000 m,
depending on the conditions in which it is installed and the type of xSense
used.
Maximum range is when xNode LoRa and xSense are in ‹sight› and there
are no obstacles between them.

It works on a cellular network
and can be used individually
and independently.
Each xNode Cellular contains a cellular module (2G, 3G, 4G) to send the data
collected by the sensors to the xFarm platform.

In the case of xNode installation with
xCam, simply attach it to the same pole
using the vertical bracket, choosing the
framing that best suits the crop.
After the rst switch-on of xNode, the
xCam will take a photo to determine the
correct framing.

xNode + xLeaf
Sensors and eld installation
In case of xNode installation with xLeafs it
will be necessary to x it to the pole with
the bracket and clamps provided.
The sensor must be cleaned periodically using a cloth moistened with just
water.
If the sensor is used in extremely sunny areas with unusually high radiation
loads, the application of McNett UV protection is recommended.
To apply McNett UV Technology:
• Clean the sensor with water and a clean, soft cloth.
• Spray a soft cloth with UV Tech spray.
• Wipe both sides of the sensor surface with a damp cloth to apply
protection
xLeaf (foliar wetting sensor)
Cleaning and Maintenance
Install sensor and wire at a minimum of 1 metre from the ground with the tip
pointing North and the raised part upwards.

xNode + xLeaf Assembly and installation guide: eld conguration
Before xing xNode it will be necessary to place it in the xFarm App.
There are 2 ways to do this:
Or scan the QR code from your smartphone
Search for XFARM in the App Store or Google Play Store
METHOD 1 - QR Code
Scan the QR code on the back of the
device.
METHOD 2 - Serial Number
Enter the serial number found on the
back of the device manually in the
app.
Download the xFarm app to create your account and connect the
sensors

Fix the xNode at a height of no less
than 1.5 metres, above the crops and
with the photovoltaic panel facing
south.
Complete the installation by switching
on the xNode:
press the button on the side of the
device so that it remains pressed.
The LED light will remain on until it is
connected to the network, then it will
switch itself off.
If the connection fails, repeat the
operation by switching the xNode off
and on again after a few seconds.
Press once and
wait 2-3 seconds
for the LED to
start ashing.

xNode LoRa
Per collegare i sensori a xSense
Usa la modulazione LoRa
su frequenze 868 Mhz e
necessita di xSense per poter
funzionare.
La portata di xNode LoRa può variare tra i 500 a oltre 2000 m, a seconda
delle condizioni in cui viene installato e dal tipo di xSense che si impiega.
La portata massima si ha quando xNode LoRa e xSense sono a “vista” e non
ci sono ostacoli tra di loro.

Funziona su rete cellulare e può
essere usato singolarmente e in
modo indipendente.
Ogni xNode Cellular contiene un modulo cellulare (2G, 3G, 4G) per poter
inviare i dati raccolti dai sensori alla piattaforma xFarm
