New Generation Hub User Manual Version 1.
1. General description Phytech hub is part of an advanced AG IoT platform for optimized Irrigation management. Firstly, the device receives Phytech Plant sensor measurements. Then, the hub organizes the data and then sends it to a Phytech datalogger. Finally, the data is sent to the Phytech cloud for analysis and processing. The outcome is a simple color scheme that aids the grower to decide online when and how much to irrigate. 2. Installation and operation 2.1 Hub Installation 2.1.
2.2 Sensor installation 2.2.1 Up to 40 sensors can connect to a single Hub. The maximum distance between the sensors and the Hub is 80 m. 2.2.2 Sensor must be installed after the hub was successfully installed and while in sensor acquiring mode. 2.2.3 Install the sensor: ● Dendrometer (Figure C1) ‐ Push the calibration spacer device to set the right distance between the dendrometer piston tip and the tree trunk. Once the tip has been pushed the sensor LED will stark blinking, searching for a hub.
will immediately start blinking when opening the fruit sensor. Wait for the blinking to stop and the LED to become steady, an indication that the sensor has connected to the hub and the installation is successful. 3. Received data The data received from the sensors reaches the server where it is analyzed. The analyzed data provides users plant status and irrigation recommendations via web and mobile apps (Figure D). D 4. Product features 4.1 Hub ● 40 sensors per hub. ● Easy installation. 4.
