Efarm.pro parallel driving systems - a reliable assistant in the field and your contribution to economical, resource-saving and ecological agricultural production!
Importantly!
Using the device can reduce your costs for materials, influence purchase prices and increase sales. This, along with the automation of agricultural work and accounting, is one of the few prospects for maintaining high competitiveness and increasing one's own profit year after year.
The efarm.pro parallel management system was created by Ukrainian developers taking into account all the latest requirements of Ukrainian agribusiness.
- It is used in such types of field work as: spraying, spreading mineral fertilizers, etc. Complete with a reinforced antenna equipped with a powerful GPS/GLONASS receiver, which significantly affects the accuracy and stability of the signal.
- Saves 15 - 20% of working time.
- Compatible with Soviet-made equipment.
- Ease of connection allows you to use it on different equipment.
- Equipped with a built-in field measurement system.
The efarm.pro antenna module is a professional navigation receiver that is used on agricultural machinery for precision work such as spraying and spreading mineral fertilizers.
- Designed for work in difficult weather conditions, in conditions of insufficient visibility, at night.
- Adapted to work in parallel driving and precision farming systems.
- The design of the antenna is specially designed to reduce the multipath factor, which significantly increases the accuracy of the receiver, and has protection against the GSM signal, which can interfere with the normal operation of the device.
- The body of the antenna is made of heat-resistant plastic, resistant to severe frosts and temperature changes and has a reliable magnetic fastening with protection against damage to the paint coating of agricultural machinery.
- The wireless Bluetooth interface gives complete freedom of choosing the placement of the receiver on the vehicle.

Before work:
• Charge your tablet and power adapter before working in the field.|
• Connect the power supply to the antenna and tablet at the same time.
• It is allowed to connect a free connector of the device to the 12 V on-board network. If the 12V socket on the LPG equipment may not meet this standard, it is necessary to replace them.
• The cigarette lighter can only be inserted into already running agricultural machinery.
• When the system is running, the power supply powers the antenna and, if necessary, the tablet.
• Check the condition of the electrical network of your agricultural machinery, the stability of the current, the absence of surges (if the antenna repeatedly searches for a signal during operation, this is one of the reasons to check the electricity again).
• Install: the screen above the center of the steering wheel, the antenna - only on a horizontal surface (preferably on the roof of agricultural machinery). If it is located from the center of the cockpit, you can correct this in the settings.

General information about equipment installation
Installation of equipment does not require special knowledge and training. This user manual contains sufficient information to install the equipment and use it safely.
Installing the tablet
The tablet is attached to the glass with the help of a car holder in any convenient, dry and clean place and is connected via a car charger, which is inserted into the cigarette lighter socket. The antenna transmits information to the tablet wireless channel using Bluetooth technology. There is no wired connection between these components.
Antenna Installation
The antenna is installed along the central axis of the vehicle using the built-in magnetic support. Make sure that there is no friction between the antenna power cable and the structural elements of the vehicle!
1,2 - possible antenna installation locations
Connection
The antenna is mounted on the vehicle in a location that provides maximum visibility in the upper hemisphere (for example, on the cab roof or vehicle hood).The antenna is fixed by mounting the antenna with its base on a steel surface (for example, the hood or roof of the vehicle cab). The antenna is held by neodymium magnets built into the base.
