Distance Calibration Display

To Perform the Distance Calibration:

1. Carefully measure a 400 foot (122 meter) course plainly marking the

start and finish points.

2. With the tractor moving between 2 and 5 MPH (3.2 and 8 Km/h), press

the START STOP RESET switch when the tractor is exactly even with
the start marker. The display showing the Distance Calibration
Constant zeroes, then counts the ground speed pulses.

3. When even with the finish marker, press the START STOP RESET

switch.

4. To ensure best accuracy, perform this procedure at least three (3)

times. Record the count each time, then enter the average as the
Distance Calibration Constant, using the SELECT and SET switches.

8. AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION

To Begin the Automatic Configuration:

1. Press the START STOP RESET switch. The TEST message flashes

while the Automatic Configuration is running.

2. Configuration is complete when the TEST message disappears.
3. The Automatic Configuration will automatically detect how many seed

modules, seed sensors, hopper sensors, and pressure sensors are
connected in the system.

IMPORTANT: Fan Speed Sensors and Shaft Speed Sensors are not

automatically configured and will need to be setup
manually.

4. Verify the detected configuration by reviewing the setup constants for

the number of seed modules, seed sensors, hopper sensors, and
pressure sensors before beginning implement operation. (
