Mark 3 Advances Crop Intelligence System
Step 1: Connect your Device to a Charger.| Charge until your device’s
lightning icon turns white by plugging your charging cord into a (at minimum
10W) USB-C wall charger. The light will be green while charging.
---|---
Step 2: Ensure the solar panel is attached to the Mark 3.| To attach your
solar panel first attach the cable from the panel into the cable attached to
the Mark 3 until you hear a snap. Insert the
connected cables in the solar panel cavity. Next, slide the groove of the
panel down the casing of the Mark 3 from the top going down
(make sure the cables are not in the way of the groove). There will be a hard
click and you will see a green light at the lightning icon if it is
properly connected and in sufficient sunlight. Ensure that the knob included in
packaging is screwed into the side and securing the solar
panel in place. Do not proceed until you have successfully attached the solar
panel to the Mark 3. For maximum charging, face the solar
panel towards the equator. The panel may be faced up to 90 degrees away from
the equator if needed.
Step 3: Attach antennas| Ensure that each antenna is attached to the correct
port on the underside of the Mark. Each antenna has a color coded icon that
matches the icon on the Mark for Cellular and Bluetooth ports.
Step 4: Deploy your Device.| Turn the device on to collect data and sync with
our backend. Each time you do this you will create a “deployment”. To do this
hold the
power button for 2 seconds. The deployment sequence will begin from left to
right starting with the battery icon. Note: It may take 5
to 10 minutes for lights to stop flashing during the deployment sequence.
*See Deployment Outcomes below.
Step 5: Attach Bird Spikes| Take bird spikes out of the package and attach one
by one to the top of the Mark. The 4 longer spikes with the orange rubber ends
are to be placed at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions.
Step 6: View your data in the Arable web or mobile application| Use your login
credentials to view data from your Mark 3(s) at app.arable.com
*Deployment Outcomes
Successful Deployment| Once the activation process has completed the finished
status of each light UI will remain steady for 10 seconds before every light
except for the lightning bolt goes out . A successful deployment will
display green lights
---|---
Failed Deployment| The LEDs will flash Red for 30 seconds if a deployment has
failed.
Any failure of an individual icon is indicated by a Red LED.
Battery too low to connect → Take inside to charge.
Sensor Failure → Contact Arable
Connectivity to Server → Move location and contact Arable.
Bridge sensor connected but no communication → Contact Arable
Lightning Charge LED| Green when receiving power.
Orientation| Your Mark 3 should be deployed 3-4 feet above the maximum
expected height of your crop canopy. The “A” Arable logo should point toward
the equator.
