Assembly - Bosch Deepfield Connect Originalbetriebsanleitung

The LED will light up in red and then green before going out.
You can then remove the magnet from the casing. The trans-
mitter will be ready 20 minutes after it has been switched
on.
The transmitter cannot be switched off using the magnet. If
required, the transmitter is switched off by Deepfield
Connect over the cellular network.
You will need the app, an Internet connection and the trans-
mitter's serial number to register the device. The serial num-
ber is written on the back of the transmitter along with the
QR code.
 Start the app and select "Field management > Monitoring
stations > +".
 Follow the instructions on the display.
A video tutorial can be found at:

Linking the monitoring station to the field
Follow these steps to link a monitoring station to a field that
you have already created in the app:
 Open the main menu and select "Field management >
Fields".
 Select the relevant field. A configuration window will
open.
All of the monitoring stations that have already been regis-
tered and assigned are listed in the configuration window.
 Select the monitoring station you wish to link to the field.
Alternately, you can register a new monitoring station
using the "+" at the end of the list.

Assembly

Testing the cellular network
There must be cellular reception at the planned location so
that the transmitter can transfer the measured values. You
can test the reception using the (switched on) transmitter.
The status LED displays the signal strength.
The transmitter transmits measured values once per hour re-
gardless of whether measured values are already present for
the soil. The signal strength cannot be tested during this pro-
cess. This status is shown by a continuous blue light on the
status LED when the signal strength is being tested.
 Briefly hold the magnet against the recess in the transmit-
ter casing.

The status LED can then display the following statuses:
LED Meaning
Blue, continuous Measured values are being transferred.
Wait 5 minutes before trying again.
Blue, flashing The signal strength is being tested (max.
5 minutes).
Green Strong signal
Yellow Adequate signal
Red Insufficient signal
If the signal strength is too weak, you must retest the signal
strength in a different location. The new location must be at
least 50 m from the original position.
Inserting the sensor rod into the soil
The sensor rod must be completely inserted into the soil. It
must sit alongside the asparagus plants in the middle of the
bank.
 With the tip pointing downward, press the sensor rod into
the soil by hand.
NOTE
 Risk of damage!
Impacts may damage or destroy the sensor rod. Do
not use a hammer or any other tool to move the sensor
rod into the soil or to pack the soil.
Assembling the transmitter
Positioning specifications for the transmitter (see figure 4,
page 3):
– Above the crest of the bank
– Not covered by agricultural film
– Good position for transmission and reception
– Protected against damage, such as from tools or agricul-
tural machinery
– Socket facing downward
The transmitter has 3 eyes that can be used to attach it to the
transmitter bracket (see figure 3 on page 3).
 Take the protective cap off the transmitter bracket and
push the bracket into the ground.
 Open the clamp, pull the transmitter bracket out and close
the clamp again.
 Use the eye at the top to hang the transmitter on the trans-
mitter bracket and push the Sicherungs cap onto the end
of the bracket.
 Thread a cable tie through the eye at the bottom and
around the transmitter bracket.
NOTE
 Risk of damage!
Impacts on the transmitter bracket could damage the
transmitter irreparably. Remove the transmitter brack-
et extension upwards when pushing the transmitter into
the ground using the tool.
