ACC Re-Configuration
Before first use, the new master switch and actuator out-
puts must be configured into the seed monitor system.
Depending on VT part number and previous software
revision, it may also be necessary to re-load basic air drill
parameters, and your local Materials Library.
Follow the instructions in the new IntelliAG
®
Aircart Con-
trol Operator’s Manual. The instructions below in this
manual are an overview of the sequence, and provide
cross-reference to information sources if you do not have
a complete record of the previous drill configuration.
Initial Power-Up Steps
73. Check language and units preference.
74. Check/set date and time.
75. Perform an
Auxiliary Input/Function Assignment
This detects and assigns the new master switch.
76. If ON, set the new master switch to
OFF
(necessary to enter Configuration mode).
Load Drill Parameters
77. Enter System Mode:
Setup/Configuration
78. If the setup was lost during software update (or has
never been loaded), perform a
Module Configuration.
79. If you run an “Auto Config”, check the module
assignments against any record from step 12.
The new actuators are automatically detected by the
WSMT, and are not separately enumerated. When
present and connected, they enable the
“GRAN SEED/FERT CONTROL” modes hidden for
crank-adjusted drills.
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.
