2.3 Configuring the Wireless Blockage Monitor There are four ways in which the Wireless Blockage Monitor may be configured: 1. Automatic configuration of a standard system set-up (Section 2.3.3) 2. Manual configuration of a standard system set-up (Section 2.3.4) 3. Automatic configuration of a nonstandard system set-up (Section 2.3.5) 4. Manual configuration of a nonstandard system set-up (Section 2.3.6) Section 2.3.1 describes the difference between automatic and manual configuration and Section 2.3.2 describes standard and nonstandard system setups. Refer to the respective section, called out in parenthesis in the above list, for instructions on configuring your air seeder. NOTE: The tractor should be powered on and connected to the air seeder prior to starting any configuration process. Additionally, the ipad must be connected to the Wireless Blockage Monitor wireless network (Section 2.2). 2.3.1 About automatic and manual configuration The Wireless Blockage Monitor may be configured in one of two ways: automatically by running material such as seed through the air seeder for a few seconds, or manual configuration without running material through the air seeder. If the Wireless Blockage Monitor is automatically configured by running material through the air seeder for a few seconds, sound will be produced by the material striking the flow sensors, and this will cause the Wireless Blockage Monitor app to automatically detect them. If you are unable to run seed through the air seeder during the configuration process follow the manual configuration instructions. 2.3.2 About standard and nonstandard system set-ups The Wireless Blockage Monitor may be configured in one of two general system set-ups: standard and nonstandard. Systems in nonstandard set-ups require additional steps during configuration. The Wireless Blockage Monitor is in a nonstandard system set-up if any of the following statements are true: Splitting: Runs contained on the same manifold are connected to two different ECUs. For example, if 18 runs of a 36 run manifold are connected to one ECU and the remaining 18 are connected to a different ECU. Splitting is necessary on manifolds that contain a large number of runs since each ECU can only support 24 runs. Joining: Runs contained on different manifolds are connected to the same ECU. Joining may be necessary with air seeders with manifolds are very close together, or when the total of two manifold s runs is less than 24. Multiple products: More than one product type is being simultaneously run through the air seeder via different air streams. For example, running fertilizer pellets at the same time as seed, but in separate runs. If two product types are being run via different air streams and the Wireless Blockage Monitor is not notified, it may incorrectly display run blockages. NOTE: If two product types are being mixed and run through the same air stream, the statement above does not apply. If none of the above statements are true, the Wireless Blockage Monitor is in a standard system set-up. Page 10 of 28

2.3.3 To automatically configure a standard system set-up 1. Open the Wireless Blockage Monitor app on the ipad. 2. Press the Configure icon on the left side of the app home screen. 3. Press Auto-Configure and ensure that the Numbers of ECUs Found is the same as the number of ECUs installed on the system. a. NOTE: If the number does not correctly match, the ECUs are unable to communicate with the Wireless Blockage Monitor app. Ensure that all ECUs are correctly installed. If you are unable to determine why the ECU cannot be detected, you may follow the instructions in Section 2.4.1 to manually add a manifold or Section 2.4.4 to manually delete a manifold. 4. Allow seed to run through the air seeder for a few seconds while monitoring the Automatic Configuration Installation Summary screen (Figure 2). The sound produced by the material hitting the flow sensors will allow the Wireless Blockage Monitor app to automatically detect them. Figure 2: Automatic Configuration - Installation Summary screen 5. The number of runs (ports) detected by the Wireless Blockage Monitor system will appear. Click Save to continue to the Automatic Configuration Air Seeder Setup screen (Figure 3). a. NOTE: If the number does not correctly match the total number of runs on your air seeder, follow the instructions in Section 2.4.2 to manually add a port or Section 2.4.3 to delete a port. 6. The Automatic Configuration Air Seeder Setup screen (Figure 3) addresses nonstandard system set-ups. Given that your system is in standard set-up, you should not need to change any of the default settings, but should still ensure that the system has been correctly configured. a. Ensure that the number given in the How many manifolds are being monitored? field matches the number of manifolds on the air seeder system. b. Ensure that No is selected for the Is any manifold connected to more than one ECU? field. Page 11 of 28

c. Ensure that 1 is selected for the How many product types are being monitored? field. d. Select the correct ECU serial number from the Which ECU has the work switch attached to it? drop-down menu. i. NOTE: Refer to Section 2.4.6 for more information about the work switch feature and for instructions on how to signify that the work switch is in the reverse position. 7. Press Save to continue to the Configuration Summary screen. 8. Given that the Wireless Blockage Monitor assigns ECUs to manifolds based only on alphabetical order, you must check which ECUs have been assigned to which manifold and will likely need to reassign them. a. From the Configuration Summary screen, press Configure. b. Select an ECU from the Edit Current Configuration Select a Manifold to Edit screen. c. Ensure that the serial number given in the ECU1 Serial field is the serial number installed on that manifold. i. NOTE: The serial number may be found on a label on the ECU, on the same side as the port numbers. ii. If an ECU has been incorrectly assigned to a manifold, press the Manifold Name field and type the name of the correct manifold. Refer to Section 2.7.1 for manifold naming tips. iii. Ensure that all of the runs have been mapped to the correct port. Refer to Figure 6 to determine how the ports are numbered. iv. Press Save. d. Repeat Steps b and c for all manifolds. e. Once you are finished confirming the correct ECU serial numbers are assigned to each manifold, press Save on the Edit Current Configuration Select a Manifold to Edit screen to complete the configuration process.

Press Save to continue to the Configuration Summary screen and press Configure. 7. Press the name of the first manifold on the Edit Current Configuration Select a Manifold to Edit screen. 8. The Wireless Blockage Monitor will assign 8 ports to each manifold by default if the system was manually configured. If a manifold contains more or less than 8 runs, you must remap the runs to the correct ports. a. Use the drop-down menus next to each run that is incorrectly mapped to select the correct port. If you wish to delete a port, select the Select a port option from the drop-down list. i. EXAMPLE: If there are 12 runs on the manifold, Runs 9 through 12 will not be assigned by default and therefore the user must map them to the correct ports using the drop-down menu. 9. Given that the Wireless Blockage Monitor assigns ECUs to manifolds based only on alphabetical order, you must check which ECUs have been assigned to which manifold and will likely need to reassign them. While still in the Edit Current Configuration Select a Manifold to Edit screen, ensure that the serial number given in the ECU1 Serial field is the serial number installed on that manifold. a. NOTE: The serial number may be found on a label on the ECU, on the same side as the port numbers. b. If an ECU has been incorrectly assigned to a manifold, press the Manifold Name field and type the name of the correct manifold. Refer to Section 2.7.1 for manifold naming tips. 10. Once you have ensured that all of the runs for a manifold have been correctly mapped, and the manifold assigned to the correct ECU serial number, press Save. 11. Repeat Steps 8 through 10 through all manifolds. Page 13 of 28

EXAMPLE: If your air seeder has a 16 run per manifold set up, but one manifold displays 17 runs, select Select a port from the drop-down menu immediately to the right of Run 17. Ensure that Runs 1 through 16 are displaying as being connected to the correct ports of the ECU (ports 1 through 16). 2.4.4 To manually delete a manifold 1. Press the Configure icon on the app s home screen. 2. Press Configure on the Configuration Summary screen. 3. Press the trash can icon on the top left of the gray box in the middle of the Edit Current Configuration screen (Figure 5). 4. Press the name(s) of the manifolds you would like to delete. IMPORTANT: If ECUs or flow sensors that were manually entered into the Wireless Blockage Monitor app continuously appear to be blocked on the Wireless Blockage Monitor app, the equipment may have been installed incorrectly. Check the equipment and ensure that it has been installed correctly. If you continue to have problems, contact IAS for assistance. 2.4.5 To change the ECU labeled Master ECU The ECU that is deemed as the Master ECU is typically the one closest to the Wireless Blockage Monitor work switch s installation location. The Master ECU is connected to both the wiring harness and the work switch. To change which ECU is labeled the Master ECU: 1. Press the Configure icon on the app s home screen. 2. Press Configure on the Configuration Summary screen. 3. Using the Master ECU drop-down menu, located on the bottom of the Edit Current Configuration screen (Figure 5), select the name of the ECU that should be labeled as the Master ECU. 4. Press Save. 2.4.6 To reverse the work switch NOTE: This procedure only has to be performed if the air seeder s existing work switch uses the reverse method, as described in the Section 2.4.6.1. 1. Press the Configure icon on the app s home screen. 2. Press Configure on the Configuration Summary screen. 3. On the Edit Current Configuration screen (Figure 5), drag the gray box next to Work Switch Reserved (on the bottom of the screen) to the right so that ON is shown. The change will automatically be saved. Page 21 of 28

2.4.6.1 Understanding the work switch Air seeder work switches use one of two methods to determine when the implement is in the ground (engaged): 1) default method: the work switch is engaged (magnet is close to the work switch) when the air seeder is in the ground. Likewise, the work switch is disengaged (magnet and work switch are apart) when the air seeder is out of the ground. 2) reversed method: the work switch is disengaged when the air seeder is in the ground. Likewise, the work switch is engaged when the air seeder is out of the ground. If the work switch has been installed using the reversed method, you must follow the steps in Section 2.4.6 to reserve the works switch in the Wireless Blockage Monitor app. Page 22 of 28

2.5 Monitoring the ECU status LED A status LED is located on the front of every ECU (Figure 8). The status LED signifies the health of the ECU. Multiple built-in-tests (BITs) are periodically ran against the ECUs. If a BIT fails, the ECU s status LED will change from flashing red to solid red (as described in Table 1). If the Wireless Blockage Monitor is not functioning properly, check the BIT screen of the Wireless Blockage Monitor app (Figure 9) to determine if any ECU issues are causing the problem. Additionally, an alarm will sound if the Wireless Blockage Monitor app is unable to communicate with an ECU installed on the system for longer than five seconds (unless this feature has been disabled. See Section 2.6.4 for more details). ECU status LED Figure 8: ECU status LED location LED Color Flashing red Solid red Off (black) Status ECU is receiving power, no BITs have failed ECU is receiving power, at least one BIT has failed ECU is not receiving power Table 1: ECU LED status Page 23 of 28

Does not necessarily indicate that a repair is needed, but a weak signal may create communication problems between the ECU and Wireless Blockage Monitor app. The audio receivers in the flow sensor(s) are in need of repair The audio processing circuit in the ECU is in need to repair Page 24 of 28

2.6 About the audio alarm Whenever a run or total manifold blockage is detected by the Wireless Blockage Monitor, an audio alarm will sound to alert the operator of the blockage. The audio alarm allows for operators to seed without having to constantly monitor the Blockage screen of the Wireless Blockage Monitor app on the ipad for blockages. 2.6.1 To silence the audio alarm when a blockage is detected Once the audio alarm has sounded to indicate a blockage, you may silence it simply by pressing anywhere on the Blockage screen of the Wireless Blockage Monitor app on the ipad (Figure 10). This will silence the audio alarm until another blockage is detected. Figure 10: To silence an audio alarm, tap anywhere on the Blockage screen All blockages that have been detected recently may be viewed from the History pop-up screen. 2.6.2 To enable or disable the audio alarm If you never want the audio alarm to sound, even when a blockage is detected, follow the instructions below: 1. Press the Blockage icon on the app home screen, if you are not already in the Blockage screen. 2. Press Settings. The Settings pop-up screen will appear over the Blockage screen. 3. Slide the gray box to the right of Enable audio alarms when runs are blocked to the left so that OFF is displayed. This setting will automatically be saved. If you would like to again enable the audio alarm, simply slide the gray box to the right so that ON is displayed. Page 25 of 28

2.6.3 To select how long a run is blocked before the audio alarms sounds If you want to be notified more or less quickly when a blockage is detected by the Wireless Blockage Monitor, follow the instructions below: 1. Press the Blockage icon on the app home screen, if you are not already in the Blockage screen. 2. Press Settings. The Settings pop-up screen will appear over the Blockage screen. 3. Use the When blocked for slider to adjust the amount of time. The current selected time will be displayed to the right of the slider. a. To increase the amount of time the run is blocked before the audio alarm sounds, slide the circle to the right. b. To decrease the amount of time the run is blocked before the audio alarm sounds, slide the circle to the left. The setting will automatically be saved. 2.6.4 To enable or disable the inactive ECU alarm The Wireless Blockage Monitor app will continuously check if all of the ECUs installed on the system are communicating properly. If the Wireless Blockage Monitor app does not receive data from an ECU for more than five seconds, an alarm will sound to alert the operator of a potential problem with the ECU. 2.7 Troubleshooting a blocked run or manifold When a blockage, or blockages, is displayed on the Blockage screen of the Wireless Blockage Monitor app, an audio alarm will sound (unless you have disabled the audio alarm) and the run that has become blocked will be marked as a red circle with the final run number in its center. Figure 6 shows the suggested order for installing the flow sensor hoses to the ECU. To make it easier to identify which run is blocked, IAS recommends marking the port number that run s flow sensor hose is connected to on a location easily visible on the hose using a paint pen or other permanent marking device. Additionally, to make it easier to identify which manifold a blocked run is located, or when a total manifold blockage occurs, change how they are labeled on the Wireless Blockage Monitor app. For instructions on how to rename the manifolds, refer to Section 2.7.1. Page 26 of 28

2.7.1 To rename a manifold 1. Press the Configure icon on the app home screen. 2. Press Configure on the Configuration Summary screen. 3. Press the first manifold name on the list on the Edit Current Configuration screen 4. Press the Manifold Name field (which is currently the ECU s serial number) on the Edit a Manifold screen. An on-screen keyboard will display. 5. Using the on-screen keyboard, type the desired manifold name. IAS recommends using names such as Manifold 1 or 1. Press Save. a. NOTE: To access the numeral keys, press the.?123 button on the on-screen keyboard. b. NOTE: No two manifolds may have the same name at the same time. 6. Repeats Steps 4 through 6 for all of the manifolds installed on the system, naming the manifolds respectively (i.e. name the second manifold on the list 2 or Manifold 2). a. EXAMPLE: If an air seeder contains four manifolds and the operator has renamed the manifolds following the procedure above, the manifolds will display on the Blockage screen of the Wireless Blockage Monitor app with Manifold 1 on the far left of the screen and Manifold 4 on the far right of the screen. When viewing these manifolds in real life while facing the tractor, the numbers will correspond with the Blockage screen, with the manifold labeled 1 being located on the far left of the air seeder, and the manifold labeled 6 being located on the far right of the air seeder. This example is illustrated in Figure 11. Page 27 of 28
