Monitor Material Configuration
The DICKEY-john

monitor reads meter shaft
speeds and can report kg/ha (or pounds/acre) planted.
The standard drill operates in GRAN SEED MONITOR
and GRAN FERT MONITOR modes (described starting
on this page).
With the optional Variable Rate Kit, the seed monitor can
also control the variable rate gearboxes. With this kit, the
GRAN SEED CONTROL and GRAN FERT CONTROL
modes are also available (described starting page 68).
In order to report/control accurately, the monitor requires
several inputs. Inputs that rarely change were entered
during drill setup. Inputs specific to particular materials
(seed or fertilizer) need to be entered when those materi-
als are first used, and when changed.
GRAN SEED MONITOR
GRAN FERT MONITOR
“Type” - This must be set to “Gran Seed Monitor” to con-
figure for seeds.
Density Units” - In metric mode this is always kg/liter.
If configured for “U.S.” mode (U.S. customary units), this
is pounds-per-bushel or pounds-per-cubic-foot.
“Density” - This is the density of seed being planted.
Obtain this information from the material container/sup-
plier. If unknown, use the value from the rate chart.
“Number of Outlets per Meter” or “Total Number of
Towers” - This is the number of primary hoses coming
off a single meter box (this is always 4 for NTA607/
2007HD, whether single- or double-shoot).
“Calibration Constant” - This is the number listed in the
seed rate charts for the rate you are planting or the num-
ber obtained by calibration for your specific seed.

Dry Fertilizer
“Type” - This must be set to “Gran Fert Monitor” to con-
figure for fertilizer.
“Density” - Enter the density of Fertilizer being applied,
in kilograms-per-liter (pounds-per-cubic-foot). Obtain this
information from the material container/supplier. If
unknown, use the value specified in the rate chart.
“Number of Outlets per Meter” or “Total Number of
Towers” - This is the number of primary hoses coming
off a single meter box (this is always 4 for NTA607/
2007HD, whether single- or double-shoot).
“Calibration Constant” - This is the number listed in the
seed rate charts for the rate you are planting or the num-
ber obtained from running the calibration routine for your
specific fertilizer.

Note: Always enter Density Units before entering the
Density value. Changing the value of Density
Units will alter the value of Density.
