MANUAL GROUND SPEED CONSTANT ENTRY
NOTE: To verify that the correct
calibration number has been
obtained, move to the Speed
Area Mode screen. Verify that
the speed matches the
vehicle’s speedometer or
remeasure the 400-foot
distance.
A manual ground speed value should only be entered when the ground
speed sensor or tractor radar has failed and no ground speed input is
available.
IMPORTANT: Entering a manual ground speed value when the ground
speed sensor or tractor radar is working properly and
connected to the monitor will interfere with the proper
operation of the planter monitor. Accumulated acreage
will not be recorded.
To enter a manual ground speed value:
1. Press the Ground Speed Setup key to access the ground speed setup
screen.
1. Use the Down Arrow key to highlight the manual ground speed value
(refer to Figure 6).
2. Select the Enter key to modify the constant.
3. Use the Arrow keys to select digits, increment, and decrement values.
4. Select the Enter key to accept the new number.
5. Once the new values have been entered, select either the Escape or
Operate key to return to the Operate (main) screen.
Any non-zero value will activate manual ground speed. Set manual ground
speed to zero to disable.
To verify that the correct calibration number has been obtained, move to the
Speed Area Mode screen.
