3 Power Up, Commissioning and Monitoring

3.1 Awakening Procedure

The Agriculture Sensor is shipped in closed enclosure with the batteries installed and engaged.

However, the Agriculture Sensor is in a state of DEEP SLEEP where it draws infinitesimal current,

until it is woken up (activated) by the provided magnet

The Agriculture Sensor does not need to get opened for activation. Assuming that the

Agriculture Sensor has been commissioned on the NS, use the magnet to wake up the

Agriculture Sensor as illustrated in Figure 6. A magnet presence is achieved by bringing the

magnet close to the magnet sign on the top of the enclosure (or by attaching the magnet to the

enclosure at the magnet sign). See Figure 5 below. A magnet absence is achieved by taking the

magnet at least 2 cm away from the enclosure.

Figure 5 Magnet Location

Here are the steps as illustrated in Figure Error! Reference source not found.6:

1. Bring the magnet close, then take it away, then bring it back again, all at a normal pace.

2. Keep magnet attached to the enclosure at the magnet sign for at least 3 sec but less than 10

sec.

3. Keep the magnet away for at least 3 sec.

Any magnet almost as strong as Standex-Meder M4, M5, or M13 can be used as well.
