AMN-EXP-DCLR-3 |
¶
Overview
The AMN-EXP-DCLR-3 expansion connects to the neatMon node to provide DC relay control for direct wiring to 12v DC Latching Irrigation Solenoids.
¶ Getting Started
¶ Installation
The DCLR station connects to the neatMon Automated Monitoring node via the GPIO, GND, 12v+, and 5v+ ports.
Route Solenoid wires into enclosure and connect to Black/Red Relay wires (top of Diagram- Left to right: Relay 1, Relay 2, Relay 3)
| 5v+ | GPIO 1 | GPIO 2 | GPIO 3 | GPIO 4 | Analog 1 | Analog 2 | Counter 1 | Ground | RS485 B | RS485 A | 12v+ |
GPIO1 is the default for SDA (Data- White Wire)
GPIO2 is the default for SCL (Clock- Green Wire)
Black wire must be connected to GND
Red wire must be connected to 5v+ Yellow Wire Must be connected to 12v+
¶ Configuration
¶ Get Prompt
First, you will need to open a serial terminal to the AMN and arrive at the NeatMon Main Menu. Be sure to disconnect any solar panel or external charger before connecting with USB.
If you are unsure how to do this check the Opening Serial Terminal guide.
NOTE: Sleep mode > 1: Light Sleep must be selected for DCLR3 to function. Firmware 2.51 and newer automatically set the node to Light Sleep DCLR3 is added. For instructions on manually setting Sleep and Power modes, visit the Utility Menu Reference page.
NOTE: Network Sync Rate of 5-10 minutes is recommended for this sensor. To view directions on setting network sync rate, visit the Network Menu Reference page.

>7Select Save to accept the default configuration. Check that the configuration set here matches your wiring (review suggested wiring in the diagrams above). You will then be returned to the Sensor Config page.
NOTE: Most DC Latching Solenoids work with 25ms Excitation time. Some solenoids may differ (such as the Netafim Aquative which requires 75ms). Please refer to solenoid spec sheets to determine the proper setting.

Press 'C' to stop booting and configure........¶ Deployment
When deployed, the cable from the sensor should not be kinked or pinched, a gentle sweep is recommended.
It is recommended to add a loose service loop between the AMN and the DCLR3 in the event that the cable is incidentally pulled on.
