Place all components of xSense Pro on a at
surface and start assembling.
The rst thing to do is to insert the rod into
the bracket as shown.
Lean the anemometer blades against
their seat and, using the supplied
Allen screw I), fasten it to the axle,
ensuring that it turns freely without
friction.
Insert the bird deterrent needles into
the respective holes on the
circumference of the cone, if
necessary use a small hammer
Fasten the rod to the bracket using
fastening kit C) and a screwdriver

Assembly and installation guide: required tools
At this point we are ready to go into the eld and install the xSense Pro.
To do this, we need:
- Metal pole of approximately 3 metres with a diameter
of 30 - 44 mm (40 mm recommended)
- Auger 10-15 cm in diameter and at least 50 cm long
- Rubber gavel
- Spanner 11
- Compass, to orient the xSense sensor
assembly correctly (e.g. mobile phone app)
- Spirit level (mobile app can be used)
- Screwdriver

Assembly and installation guide: eld installation
It is advisable to install xSense in an area that is representative of the
farm from a morphological and environmental point of view.
- Install xSense as far as possible from buildings, artefacts, hedges,
trees, watercourses or other topographical elements that may
inuence/disturb the correct collection of data.
- Install xSense away from obstacles that exceed its height; having
taller obstacles nearby could distort anemometric and rainfall data.
- xSense must be installed out of the way of agricultural vehicles in
order to avoid possible damage.
- xSense should be installed between 1.5 and 3.0 metres above the
ground (preferably grass).
- xSense should be installed in a place where there is good cellular
network coverage.
Choice of Installation Site.
After identifying the right place, we drill the hole with the drill in order to
rmly x the metal pole.
It is important that the pole is positioned perfectly level in order to not receive
incorrect data

After having positioned the pole
perfectly level, we move on to xing
the xSense Pro.
We then use the supplied xing kit.
To attach it to the pole, the collector
cone must rst be removed.
To do this, the base cone of the
station must be turned anti-clockwise.
Note: When new, the cone ts tightly
to the base and may require additional
pressure.
As with the pole, it is important that the
xSense Pro is also xed perfectly level, and
the level inside the sensor can be used to
do this.

When fastening also make sure that
the xSense has the photovoltaic panel
facing south and the pole facing
north.
Finally, secure the anemometer wire
to the pole using the clamps
provided.

North
After attaching xSense to the pole, we
can close it by placing the collector
cone in the appropriate slot and turning
it clockwise to lock it.

Assembly and installation guide: accessories
In the case of xSense installation with
xCam, the latter will arrive already
connected to the Gateway, so simply x it
to the same pole using the vertical bracket
and choose the framing that best suits the
crop.
After switching on the xSense for the rst
time the xCam will take a picture to
determine the correct framing.
xCam
When selecting the xSense Pro sensor + accessories in the xFarm app, during in-
stallation, if the xCam is factory connected to the Gateway it will be automatically
recognised so it will not be present in the list combined with the xSense Mini.
