FARMSCAN Jackal, Manual, Page: 39 / 52

AM-JACKAL-35 / JULY 2020 37
AIR/VOLT/DEPTH/%/TEMP PRESSURE SENSOR
The Jackal can be configured to read & display a pressure sensor, voltage,
percentage, temperature and display as: kPa, psi, bar, Volt, %,
˚ C. Farmscan
recommends sensors that can be powered by 12v but output from 0-5v in a
linear style. Call us if you are unsure. There are 2 ports available for this
function.
Sensors Required:
•
AA-119H or AA-119L (Farmscan Pressure Sensor)
•
Any other style that outputs a voltage. I.e. Position sensor (AA-430)
for displaying depth as a percentage (%)
•
NB: The Jackal must be unlocked for controller for DEPTH function to work.
Available Connections: Refer to Installing Sensors from PAGES 9-11
The example uses Input 9 – Liquid Pressure Sensor
CALIBRATION (MANUAL)
The example below details setting up a LIQUID PRESSURE SENSOR .
From the front screen press
SETUP
Highlight WIZARD & press
SELECT
Highlight GENERIC WIZARD &
press SELECT
Highlight the INPUT number
(6-9) to where the sensor
wire is connected into on the
rear of the Jackal & press
NEXT
Press EDIT to change the
unit. kPa, psi, bar, Volt, %, ˚ C.
i.e. kPa
Highlight the 1 st CAL HIGH
value and EDIT the field to
set the maximum the device
will be able to display. I.e.
600kPa. Current input
voltage of input is displayed
in the top left corner.
Using the manufactures
guide set the maximum
voltage of the sensor.
e.g. 5.000v by pressing EDIT
Repeat the previous 2 steps
to set the minimum range of
the sensor.
Press NEXT when done
