FlowBoards are the workhorse of the system. They sit on the planter itself and house the flowmeters, electronics, plumbing & wiring for most of the system. Each FlowBoard can monitor a single product on up to twelve rows. Most planters will require multiple FlowBoards, depending on the number of rows they have.

Each FlowBoard holds up up to 12 flowmeters, the OnSite FMS Module which reads the flowmeter data, the manifold, and the flowmeter harness that connects the flowmeters to the OnSite FMS Module. All of this comes already assembled in your kit. FlowBoards are designed to be a very simple upgrade from traditional Red Balls systems, allowing you to use most of the same plumbing and mounting points.

If your planter is larger than 12 rows, just add more boards. You can easily connect the systems together with the Module Connection Harness(es) that comes in your kit. FlowBoards connect together in a daisy-chain configuration with the supplied terminal at the end. The system automatically detects the correct number of flowmeters in the system, so there’s no additional programming or setup for larger planters.

If you are applying two products with your planter, you will need a FlowBoard kit for each product. Each FlowBoard is monitored separately, but they all connect together as one system with the Module Connection Harnesses. The software will group the FlowBoards together properly and track each product independently.
