The installation
| Attach provided hose-clamp(s) to the back of the Telemetry. Or use other means to attach the Telemetry, like zip ties. |
| Drive a pole into the ground, making sure it is placed deep enough to stay upright and attach the Telemetry to the pole. |
| Connect the antenna either directly to the back of the Telemetry or use the extension cable to be able to put it in a higher position when the mobile signal is poor or the crop would block the signal. |
| Connect the soil moisture or other sensors to the correct port
(See wiring scheme below).
Take good note of proper order of the individual wires. |
| Close the Telemetry door. |
| Scan the QR code in the CropX app. |
| Fill in all the necessary details in
the form and click Submit |
| The installation has been completed.
In a few minutes you will receive a notification. |
| The solar panel slots in directly at the back of the Telemetry.
When using a solar panel, make sure it is facing south in the Northern hemisphere and faces North in the Souther hemisphere. |
