Note: These instructions pertain to PF firmware versions 4.00 or
higher.
Settings for Rawson and New Leader Controllers
1. Press SETUP key. Press APP RATE CONFIG key. Press CREATE
NEW key. Set the following:
Controller Make: Set to RAWSON or NEW LEADER.
Controller Model: Set to your controller model.
Product: Press EDIT key. You can select an existing product and press
ACCEPT key or create a new product by pressing CREATE NEW key.
Press EDIT NAME key and enter name of product. Use Left or Right
Arrow keys to select a character. Use Up or Down Arrow key to change
the character. Set every character and press ACCEPT key twice.
Units: Set to Units/Acre of application.
Ground Speed Sensor: Set to RADAR or GPS. Note: This setting affects
all configurations.
App Distance From GPS: Set to distance between where product exits
applicator and position of GPS antenna on vehicle. Example: If planter is
20 feet behind GPS antenna set to 20 ft back.
Full Swath: Set to full swath of applicator.
Tgt Units:Contrler Units: Normally set to 1:1.0000. This ratio is used to
convert the units in a target file (.tgt) to the units of application.
Example: Tgt file in pints/ac of Treflan, controller applies gallons/ac. If
tank mix is 1 pint of Treflan / 10 gallon water, then set to 1:10.0000.
Target Rate Increment: Determines increment value by which you can
change the manual target rate with each press of Up or Down arrow keys.
Actual Rate Scale Factor: Set to 1.000
2. Press CONTRLER SETTINGS key. Set the following:
Nominal Rate: If PF not controlling rate, ignore setting.
If PF controlling rate, set equal to nominal rate of contrl. (Mode key):
“Sds/A=x,xxx,xxx” setting in Rawson plant mode or
“Rate=xxxx.x Lb/A” setting in Rawson fert mode (dry) or
“Rate=xx.x Gal/A” setting in Rawson fert mode (liquid) or
“Yield=xxxx Lb/A (or Ton/A if lime)” setting in New Leader
Note: If change modes on controller, must change nominal rate on PF.
Percent Rate Change: Set equal to “Steps x.x%” of contrl. (Mode key)
Common settings are 4.00% for Rawson plant mode, 6.66% for New
Leader or Rawson fert mode (Steps x.x% may not be setting in cont.)
Cal. number for act. rate:
Rawson – planting mode - Press Mode key on controller to view the “#
of seeds=xxx.x” and “No. of Rows=xx” setting. Use formula to
determine cal. number.
# of seeds
5
x No. of rows x 10 = cal. number
Rawson – fertilizer mode (liquid) - Press Mode key on controller to
view “Pump Disp x.xxxx”, “RateSetting xx.x” and “Ratio=xx.xx:1”
setting. Use formula to determine cal. number.
Pump Disp x Rate Setting x 10000
Ratio
= cal. num
Rawson – fertilizer mode (dry) - Press Mode key on controller to view
“Del. Rate=xxx.xx”, “Mat’l=xxx.x Lb”, “Rate Setting xx.xx” and
“Ratio=xx.xx:1” setting. Use formula to determine cal. num.
Del. Rate x Mat'l x Rate Setting x .5787
Ratio
= cal. number
Note: See note for New Leader
New Leader - Press Mode key on controller to view “FeedGate=xx.xx”,
“Mat’l=xxx.x Lb”, and “Conv. Rate=x.xxx” settings. Use formula to
determine cal. number.
Feed Gate x Mat'l x Conv. Rate x 1000 (5 if lime)
6.1
= cal. number
Note: Actual rate will be 1/10 th of real actual rate (except for lime).
If cal. number is over 6400, divide cal. number by 10. Ex.
7000/10=700 (act. rate will be 1/100
th of real actual rate). If gate
setting changes, switch configurations and enter new cal. number.
Actual Rate Source: Set to DRIVE RPM. If you are planting and have a
Dickey-john Seed Manager monitor and you want to get the actual rate
from it, set this to SEED MANGR.
