Appendix C - Setup
Seed Monitor Console Installation
Refer to Figure 99
The planter’s standard PM400 seed monitor system
includes a console
that needs to be mounted in the
cab of the tractor to be used with the planter.
The monitor includes cables for power , speed
sensor and sensor harnesses . Installation
instructions are found in the included DICKEY-john
®
manual.
Power required is 12Vdc. Power color code is:
+ positive: red
- negative: black
The included bracket requires customer-supplied
fasteners.
Transport and Field Safety Risk:
Mount the module so it is easy to monitor during planting, but
does not interfere with safe operation of the tractor in the field
or on public roads.
Seed Monitor Console Quick-Start
The PM400 factory defaults need to be changed to the
row configuration of a 3P4025AH planter, the speed
sensing used on all models, and may need to be
changed to metric mode. Pages 117 through 119
describe setting:
• metric data mode,
• planter row count,
• planter (swath-averaged) row spacing, and;
• initial speed calibration.
The monitor must be connected to +12 Vdc power to
enter these settings (the monitor does not need to be
connected to the implement harness).
See the DICKEY-john
®
11001-1372 manual for setting
limits and alarms.
