The latest version can always be found at http://www.smartfield.com/ Instructions to the User This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: x Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. x Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. x Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. x Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operations with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. Page Table of Contents Introduction 3 Guidebook Conventions 3 Important Safety Precautions 3 Contents/Tools Needed 4 Installation 4-5 Warranty 5-6 3 Introduction Congratulations, you have just purchased the SmartCrop“ Sensors, one of the most advanced irrigation management tools available. Listen to your crop..... It’s talking to you Your crop is telling you when it is experiencing heat stress and needs water. The SmartCrop“ Sensor is smart technology that uses infrared (IR) temperature sensing technology coupled with patented USDA algorithms and methodology to determine when your crop is experiencing heat stress brought on by lack of water. SmartCrop“ Sensor provides growers a simple “IRRIGATE / DON’T IRRIGATE” signal that can be seen on the web or even on your cell phone. In addition to irrigation signals, the SmartCrop“ Sensors provide temperature and other environmental data via the CropInsight.com web site. SmartCrop“ Sensor The SmartCrop“ Sensor is a long plastic tube that contains the electronics used to measure, collate, and transmit crop canopy data. At the heart of the Sensor is an industrial infrared (IR) temperature-sensing device that measures the actual temperature of the crop canopy. How it works This temperature data is collected and processed by a microprocessor in the SmartCrop“ Sensor. At 15-minute intervals, the microprocessor turns on the radio transmitter and sends the latest set of temperature data directly to the Base Station. The Base Station collects the crop canopy data from each Sensor. Using the crop canopy temperatures from each Sensor, along with other localized environmental measurements, the web server determines if the crop is in stress or not. This decision process is performed every 15 minutes throughout the day. The CropInsight¥ web site keeps track of how much stress is accumulating in the crop and will signal for irrigation when a minimum stress time has been reached. This stress time, along with other crop factors is easily programmed into the web site during setup and these factors can be changed remotely during the growing session. Guidebook Conventions To highlight the most important points – we have used a set of simple icons, which draw attention to key information and settings. Key: The Check Icon indicates a setting that we recommend you use or enable. The Info Icon highlights important facts and information about SmartCrop“ Sensors, to help you make better use of the product. The Hazard Icon highlights areas where potential problems can arise. Important Safety Precautions Only Smartfield¥trained and certified installers are authorized to install and maintain equipment; non- certified installations void equipment warranty. Important: DO NOT begin installation until all utility lines have been located and marked by your local utility company. Digging without knowing the location of utility lines can result in a damaged system, injury or death. This manual contains important information about the installation, operation and safe use of this product. This information should be given to the owner and / or operator of this equipment. Warning: Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions, which are included. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in severe injury or property damage. 4 Contents SmartCrop“ Sensor 2 “AA” Battery 1 Mounting Bracket Assembly Other Materials Needed Six (6”) inside pole One (1) spade Two (2) ¾ X ½ bolts Two (2) ¾ …

Correspondence by Project Project Number: Correspondence Number Memo W9B15030205B-1 1) A new TCB certification contract needs to be filled out. Response: The new TCB certification contract has been filled out. 2) The test report shows that the device was tested at an angle. Please explain why it wasn’t tested in a normal axis such as X, Y or Z. Response: The manual has been revised to show placing the device at a 45 degree angle. 3) The block diagram submitted states a different frequency range. Please submit a new block diagram with the correct frequency range. Response: The block diagram has been revised to show the correct frequency. 4) Some of the values on the schematics submitted do not match what the internal photos show. Please submit new schematics. The schematics are correct. Please see the Bourns document on how certain components are labeled. Examples: R4 is 100 KOhm, CR0603 5%. On page 4 of the Bourns spec, the resistor markings for an E-24 format are: 3 digits, first two digits are significant, third digit is number of zeros. To get a marking code for 100000 Ohms, the value of 10 is followed by 4 zeros, giving a code of 104. So a Bourns CR0603 5% resistor labeled 104 translates to 100000 = 100 KOhms, matching the schematic for R4. R23 is 200 KOhm, CR0603 1%. On page 4 of the Bourns spec in the "EIA-96 Marking for CR0603, 1%" table, you can find 200 in column 6 "R Value". Immediately to the left, in the Code column, is 30. To get a marking code for 200 KOhm, the Code of 30 is followed by the letter D, which means a 10^3 multiplier. So a Bourns CR0603 1% resistor labeled 30D translates to 200x10^3 = 200000 Ohms = 200 KOhms, matching the schematic for R23. R27 is 5.9 KOhm, CR0603 1%. On page 4 of the Bourns spec in the "EIA-96 Marking for CR0603, 1%" table, you can find 590 in column 14 "R Value". Immediately to the left, in the Code column, is 75. To get a marking value of 5900 Ohms, the Code of 75 is followed by the letter B, which means a 10^1 mutiplier. So a Bourns CR0603 1% resistor labeled 75B translates to 590x10^1 = 5900 Ohms, matching the schematic for R27.
