The use of GPS devices, tablets and smartphones with MapItFast and associated AgTerra products
The internal GPS in your device can be used independently from online services to
automatically set location information in the app, which is recorded as latitude and
longitude.
GPS accuracy may be influenced by topology, environment and equipment.
Furthermore, the accuracy of the maps used in MapItFast (and its associated
products: Strider, SprayLogger and TrackItFast) are not guaranteed. Please use care
when using MapItFast.
MapItFast requires online data transfers for some features, such as accessing online
maps and sharing exported files. Accessing these features over data network services
may incur costs from your provider. If you use the app and data services on your
tablet, you are responsible for any fees that your service provider charges. Your
service provider is not the provider of MapItFast.
AgTerra Technologies makes no representations, expressed or implied, as to data

however some components
may look different than those pictured and/or additional items may be included.
Refer to your packing slip for a detailed list of all items included in your shipment.

The VMZ induQ® flow sensor uses magnetic induction and works without any moving
parts. Because this type of flow sensor relies on electrical conductivity for operation,
it is important to install the meter in a manner that avoids electrical interference, air
bubbles in the flow stream (or running dry), and contamination from particles
settling out.
PLEASE READ THE OPERATING MANUAL INCLUDED WITH YOUR SENSOR.
This quick start guide only provides an overview.
To avoid false readings and contamination, mount the flow sensor in the lowest
possible position relative to the tank in a vertical position (flow going UP ↑).
If this is not possible, install in such a way that back washes or bubbles are
minimized. (See diagram).

Check valve is not required when SprayLogger
is used in combination with a switch. Check
valves help prevent false readings from air
bubbles or inadvertent fluid movement.
Check Valve (optional)
Install the backflow preventer/check valve before or after the flow meter. This
will help prevent false flow readings from bubbles and/or backwash.

An inlet section is not absolutely necessary, but to reach the highest accuracy use
straight inlet and outlet sections according to the Internal Diameter (ID). The inlet
section should be at least 10 x ID; the outlet section 5 x ID.
The inlet and outlet sections and the gaskets must have the same or a slightly
larger inside diameter than the measuring tube in order to achieve the specified
accuracy.
The sensor must be fully pressurized for operation.
The external GPS antenna must be installed for operation. Keep the cable away
from electrical fields to avoid interference*.
Once your sensor is installed, determine where your SprayLogger box will be
installed. Keep the following considerations in mind:
oVMZ sensors are sensitive to interference from nearby electrical fields. It is
imperative that the GPS antenna cable and flow sensor cables and
equipment wiring are installed away each other and from other electrical
wires and engine components on the vehicle; otherwise false readings will
result*.
oIf two VMZs are installed next to each other, make sure they are at least 2
inches apart. Otherwise, they may interfere with each other.
oYour SprayLogger is water resistant, but not water proof. It is best to place
the SprayLogger box in a dry location. While regular spray operations and
occasional rain showers are not harmful, submersion or heavy rain are.
oMake sure the external GPS antenna is attached to the SprayLogger box.
The antenna should be positioned at the center width of the vehicle with a
clear, open view of the sky.
Wiring
–
SprayLogger E3 to VMZ Flow Sensor
*To further reduce noise from electrical interferences, split ferrite cores can
easily be clipped on the flow sensor cable, power cable going into the
SprayLogger unit, and or other adjacent power lines.

oIf the SprayLogger unit is kept in a vehicle or container, check to verify that
the Bluetooth range is sufficient to stay connected to your device, and that
the GPS coordinates are accurate.
Connect your flow sensor to your SprayLogger E3 box using the 6-pin yellow
cable. The female end (green) connects to the flow sensor; the 6-pin male end
connects to a flow port on the SprayLogger. The cables may be clipped for
optimum length. If your cabling is too short, longer cables are available from
AgTerra.
1) If your SprayLogger E3 includes optional switch channels, use the 3-C yellow
cable(s) included in your shipment.
See the wiring diagram on the next page for additional information.
Switches Installation
Note, the cables for the flow sensors and switches look alike, as do their
ports on the SprayLogger box. Unless you have a custom configuration, flow
ports are labeled A, B and C on the box and the switch ports are labeled 1 –
15. Flow sensor cables (6-pin) will fit flow sensor ports, and only switch port
cables (3-pin) will fit switch ports. Contact AgTerra if you need additional
cables or extensions.

1) Plug SprayLogger E3 unit into the power supply. Please note that your power
supply may need to be powered with a vehicle power inverter (not included).
2) At least one flow sensor is required for SprayLogger. This sensor is always
connected to Port A on the box.
3) Use the power button to turn on the box (button will show blue light).
a. Important! Make sure that the blue LED light on your box blinks every
few seconds once you start a spray job in the MapItFast app. The
blinking light indicates that your box has a GPS signal. If the light does
not begin blinking within two minutes of powering on the box, try
rebooting the SprayLogger unit by powering it off and back on again.
You will first need to ‘pair’ your device with your SprayLogger.
1) Find Bluetooth settings on your mobile device.
2) Available devices will display in menu (may need to ‘Scan’ for
available devices). Be sure your unit is turned on.
3) When unit is located, your device will ask to confirm pairing of
SprayLogger box.
