217-01-12R38W | OnSite FMS+ 12-Row Complete Wired Kit

This is the COMPLETE system kit for a 12 row planter applying a high-rate product.

The OnSite FMS+ twelve-channel FlowBoard comes complete with everything you need, including all the flowmeters, OnSite FMS+ Module, manifold, and internal plumbing. This is a direct replacement for any standard 12-row FlowBoards from an existing kit or use it to build your own custom OnSite FMS+ system.

This FlowBoard features 3/8″ high-flow flowmeters.
This board is designed for products that need a fairly high application rate. Most in-furrow applications will be better served by using our standard 1/4″ flowmeters due to their performance at lower flow rates.

· Each 3/8″ high-flow flowmeter has a flow rate between 0.21 – 2.0 GPM per row. (8.316 GPA – 79.2 GPA at 5MPH and 30″ spacing)
· 1/4″ standard flowmeter boards are available (217-01-12r25w) and have a flow rate of 0.08 – 0.5 GPM per row. (3.168 GPA – 19.8 GPA at 5 MPH and 30″ spacing)

Choose the flowmeter that best fits your desired application rate & speed. Use the formulas below to figure out the right size for you.

GPA = (GPM x 5,940) / (MPH x W)
GPM = (GPA x MPH x W) / (5,940)

· GPA = Gallons Per Acre
· GPM = Gallons Per Minute
· 5,940 = Constant for this Formula
· MPH = Speed You Will Be Traveling
· W = Nozzle Spacing in Inches

The big 7″ touchscreen display is the real brains of the OnSite FMS+ system. It takes the flow meter readings compiled by the OnSite Modules and converts the data to an easy-to-understand bar graph that gives you real-time monitoring of how each row is performing. You will see at a glance how each row is performing and see trends (otherwise known as blockages) as they develop.

Set your target application rates in the OnSite software and it will give you a reference line right on the display so you can see exactly how accurately each row is performing. If OnSite detects any row falling out of the acceptable range, it will change the color of the row and give you an alert. (Alerts can also be silenced.)

If you are running section control, just map the sections to your rows using the easy-to-use section wizard in the software. OnSite Smart Sense will automatically detect when sections are shut off and not trigger alerts.

Software Setup is easy. OnSite Smart Sense will automatically connect to all the OnSite Modules on the planter and put them in the right order. Configuration is largely automated. Just make a few quick choices to tell the software how you want to run. Most OnSiteFMS+ systems can be configured and ready to plant in under 15 minutes.

The OnSite Harness Terminator
The OnSite Terminator tells the system that there are no more modules to connect to. The first OnSite Module connects to the Module Power Cable and the last OnSite Module gets the terminator on the end. Everything in the middle connects with Module-to-Module cables. The whole system is wired in a simple daisy chain configuration, leaving little possibility of hooking anything up wrong.

The terminator comes with a jumper plug already installed. If you would like to use a lift switch, unplug the jumper and plug the lift switch into that port. BENCO has push button lift switch kits available with brackets designed to fit almost any planter on the market.
