Channel Setup Screen
Channel 1 setups are for hopper I (left hopper,
or the only hopper, if a single-hopper cart).
Channel 2 setups are for hopper II (right hopper).
“Type” - Set this to either “Gran Seed Monitor” or “Gran
Fert Monitor” based on the type of material in each hop-
per.
“Material Name” - Choose the name of the material con-
figured for each channel in steps 1 and 2 above.
“Sensor Constant” - [ 360 ]
“Gear Ratio” - [ 1.0 ]
“Channel Width” - is your Implement Width (swath) in
inches (cm). Precise row/swath data is found on
page 144 (for NTA607HD) and page 145 (NTA2007HD).
If the monitor inputs are correctly entered, the monitor is
a handy tool for fine tuning the variable rate gearbox set-
ting. If the rate reported by the monitor does not match
the desired planting rate, rotate the crank to adjust the
variable rate gearbox control arm slightly so as to
achieve the desired planting rate.

Update Material Library
In order to correlate actuator output with desired seed
rate (meter shaft rate), the system requires a Calibration
Constant for each material to be used.
If you already had a material library, re-load it from an SD
card or via the menus. Otherwise revise a default mate-
rial name as the first Control setup.
• The example at right shows sample materials:
Wheat HRW, renamed from SEED 1
and
11-52-0 renamed from FERT 1
to be used for the first Control setup.
Example Material Library:
CH1 Wheat HRW
CH2 11-52-0
CH3 DISABLED
CH4 DISABLED
Wheat HRW 11-52-0
SEED 2 FERT 2
SEED 3 FERT 3
