Safety
Practice Safe Maintenance
Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep
area clean and dry.
Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is
moving. Keep hands, feet , and clothing from power-driven
parts. Disengage all power and operate controls to relieve
pressure. Lower equipment to the ground. Stop the
engine. Remove the key. Allow machine to cool.
Securely support any machine elements that must be
raised for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed.
Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts.
Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
On self-propelled equipment, disconnect battery ground
cable (-) before making adjustments on electrical systems
or welding on machine.
On towed implements, disconnect wiring harnesses from
tractor before servicing electrical system components or
welding on machine.
Handle Electronic Components and Brackets Safely
Falling while installing or removing electronic components
mounted on equipment can cause serious injury. Use a
ladder or platform to easily reach each mounting location.
Use sturdy and secure footholds and handholds. Do not
install or remove components in wet or icy conditions.
If installing or servicing a RTK base station on a tower or
other tall structure, use a certied climber.
If installing or servicing a global positioning receiver mast
used on an implement, use proper lifting techniques and
wear proper protective equipment. The mast is heavy and
can be awkward to handle. Two people are required when
mounting locations are not accessible from the ground
or from a service platform.

Theory of Operation
Introduction
John Deere Mobile Weather is a machine mounted
weather monitoring system that works in conjunction with
the GreenStar™ 2 and GreenStar™ 3 systems. Mobile
Weather monitors and documents weather conditions
without the need for stopping to check prevailing weather
conditions via a hand held device. John Deere Mobile
Weather monitors and documents temperature, Delta T,
humidity, wind speed, and wind direction.
GreenStar is a trademark of Deere & Company
Activating John Deere Mobile Weather
To run Mobile Weather on the Application Controller 1120,
a 26 digit activation code is required.
1. Visit www.StellarSupport.com or call 1-888-953-3373.
2. Using the controller serial number and the COMAR
order number, a 26 digit activation code will be
generated.
3. On the display, select APPLICATION CONTROLLER
1120 from the main menu.
4. Select SETUP softkey.
5. Select ACTIVATION ENTRY button.
6. Enter 26 digit code.
The Mobile Weather Sensor uses ultrasonic sensors to
measure wind speed and direction. The sensors are
capable of measuring a range of wind speeds with a
high level of accuracy. Wind is turbulent and not static.
Changes in wind speed are detected more quickly with
ultrasonic sensing than propeller-type anomometers. As a
result, wind speed values displayed can change frequently.

Operation
Viewing Mobile Weather Information
Mobile Weather will display “OK” in the status window
when it is setup and working properly.
Weather information can be viewed on the Application
Controller page or setup and viewed on a home page
section.
Mobile Weather will monitor and document temperature,
Delta T, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction.
Delta T (C) is an indicator for acceptable conditions to
apply product. It indicates evaporation rate and droplet
lifetime. Delta T is calculated by subtracting the wet
bulb temperature from the dry bulb temperature. When
applying, Delta T should be between 2C (4F) and 8C
(14F), and not greater than 10C (18F). A higher Delta T
value will result in a faster evaporation rate and shorter
droplet lifetime.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
The Mobile Weather Status (A) will display either of the
following:
OK
•
Not Activated
•
No Weather Data
•
If “No Weather Data” is displayed, check the following:
1. Pin Assignment in Ampseal 16 connector.
2. Baud Rate set to 4800.
3. GreenStar harness connected to weather sensor.
If weather values (B) are not being displayed on the
screen, check to make sure the sensor itself is not cracked
or damaged. If the sensor itself has visible damage, the
sensor may need to be replaced. Check with your local
John Deere Dealer. If there is no visible damage to the
sensor but the weather values are not displayed on the
screen, follow these steps or contact your local John
Deere Dealer for support.
1. Verify there is power to weather sensor.
2. Verify all connections are tight.
3. Verify connections are correct.
4. Verify there are no kinks in the harness.
5. Verify there are no obstructions in the wind channel
of the Weather Sensor. Keep it free of spider webs,
insects, dirt, and other debris. Be careful not to
puncture the blue waterproof lm or scratch the silver
plate.
6. Keep Weather Sensor out of conditions where ice may
become a factor.
If humidity values are not changing or reading zero, the
humidity sensor contained within the weather sensor may
A—Mobile Weather Status
need to be replaced. Check with your local John Deere
Dealer.
John Deere recommends the humidity sensor be replaced
every two years.
If the wind direction and wind speed values are not
correct, make sure the sensor has an unobstructed view
for GPS signal.

Troubleshooting
Communication Error
Communication with an application’s electronic control
unit has been unexpectedly lost. If reprogramming is not
in process, check the harness connections - disconnect
and reconnect the controller. If the problem persists,
consult the dealer for this controller. The controller can be
identied by the following manufacturer information:
NOTE: No weather values will be displayed or
documented until connection to the Application
Controller is restored.
Sensor Orientation Incorrect
The plastic nut assembly on the sensor is hand tightened
and may loosen over time. Periodically check that the
captive nut is still tight and alignment of the sensor is
correct.
If the plastic nut assembly is tightened with a tool, instead
of hand tightened, it may break or crack. Hand tighten
only. A damaged nut assembly may affect the orientation
of the sensor from facing the front of the machine. If any
part of the plastic nut assembly is cracked or broken,
replace plastic nut assembly.
The steel extension tube that the sensor is mounted
on may loosen over time. A loose extension tube may
affect the orientation of the sensor. Periodically check
that connection between the extension tube and ratchet
assembly are still tight.
PC14095 —UN—05OCT11
Degraded Weather Measurements
Do not expose the sensor to temperatures greater than
65° C (149° F). If sensor has been exposed to temperature
greater than 65° C (149° F) calibration of the sensor may
no longer be accurate.
