1. Getting Started

1.1. About Recon SpreadSense®

Recon SpreadSense is the industry’s first blockage monitor for floaters. Utilizing the same

acoustic technology developed for other Recon monitoring systems, Recon SpreadSense

provides reliable real-time blockage detection. Acoustic sensors installed on the back of each

deflector listen to the material flow and send sound pulses through auditory tubes, similar to a

stethoscope. The data is collected by the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which displays the

information on an iPad® in the cab. If there’s a blockage anywhere in the system, you’ll know.

For instructions to use and configure SpreadSense, see the Recon SpreadSense Operator’s

Guide (Intelligent Ag™document number 600890-000015) from the SpreadSense app’s Guides

screen.

For installation videos, current documentation, and iPad and software requirements, visit

intelligentag.com/support.

•Standard wrench and socket sets

•Cordless drill with 5/16 driver and/or flathead screwdriver

•Cleaning rags

•Two flathead screwdrivers, WD-40, rag, brake cleaner (if removing flow sensors)

WARNING: Do not use a high-pressure washer on electronic components.

Installation Location

Mount flow sensors on each deflector. See Appendix A for sensor placement diagrams.

Installing the Flow Sensors

1. Refer to Appendix A for sensor placement diagrams for your floater.

2. Clean the deflector with alcohol wipes (356070-000063). If there is a lot of dirt, clean the

deflectors with a cleaning rag first.

3. If it is below 60°F (15°C), apply heat to the underside of the deflector. The sensor

adhesive will not stick in cold temperatures.

4. Remove the protective backing from the sensor (153510-000085).

5. Align the sensor with the deflector according to the sensor placement diagrams in

Appendix A, with the port for the auditory tube pointing up. Firmly push the sensor onto

the deflector with about 75 lbs. of force to ensure a good seal.

6. Verify that the flow sensor is firmly adhered to the deflector by pulling on the sensor. If it

comes loose, re-install the sensor with more force.

7. Connect an auditory tube (353070-000478) to the sensor.

Figure 1: Connecting auditory tubes

8. Repeat the steps above for each deflector.

WARNING: Use caution when folding and unfolding the booms. Failure to properly fold

booms may cause damage to your sensors and other components of the

SpreadSense® system.

Removing Flow Sensors

If you need to replace a sensor, contact Intelligent Ag™for a replacement adhesive disk. Then,

follow the instructions below.

1. Push a screwdriver between the sensor adhesive and the deflector. Lift the sensor

slightly until there is enough room to push the other screwdriver further under the

sensor. Pry the sensor gently until it comes off of the deflector.

2. Completely cover the sensor and deflector with WD-40 and let it soak for 3 to 5 minutes.

3. Use a rag to clean the sensor and deflector until there’s no adhesive left. You may need

to scrape larger pieces off with a screwdriver.

4. Spray and wipe the deflector with a cleaning solution such as brake cleaner to remove

any additional residue.

5. Remove the protective backing from the replacement adhesive disk and adhere it to the

bottom of the sensor.

6. Reinstall the sensor on the back of the deflector using the instructions in Installing the

Flow Sensors on the previous page.

3. Installing ECUs

WARNING: Do not use a high-pressure washer on electronic components.

The Electronic Control Units (ECUs) communicate the flow measurement data received by the

flow sensors to the gateway.

Installation Location

Mount ECUs on the booms and middle implement plate.

Installing the ECUs

The ECUs use two different types of mounting brackets: a flat-plate ECU bracket and a

C-channel ECU bracket. Refer to Appendix B to determine where to use each bracket.

Figure 2: ECU installation locations

Installing ECUs Recon SpreadSense®Installation Manual

600840-000046, rev 1.7 Page 10 of 32

Installing ECUs with the Flat-Plate Bracket

Figure 3: Installing flat-plate bracket ECUs

1. Refer to Appendix B to determine the installation location for the ECUs that use the flat-

plate bracket (353070-000135).

2. Align the flat-plate ECU bracket (353070-000135) with the bottom of the ECU (153510-

000045). Secure the ECU to the bracket using bolts (356060-000237), washers

(356060-000239), rubber mount back (353070-000239), and locknuts (356060-000094),

as shown in Figure 3.

3. Position the bracket onto the machine using the auditory hoses to help guide placement.

Thread the hose clamps (356060-000246) through the bracket and secure the ECU to

the boom.

NOTE: Make sure that when the boom is folded up, the ECU connectors point

downward so that they do not collect water. This might mean rotating the bracket and

ECU on the machine.

NOTE: If the hose clamp won’t fit around larger structures, connect two hose clamps

together to make a larger hose clamp.

4. Repeat the steps above for each flat-plate ECU.
