Quick Setup Guide for IntelliAg Model NTA

STEP 1: Pre-Programming Preparation:

Power on vehicle via ignition switch to activate Virtual Terminal (VT). Main menu will display pre-programmed default settings.
If errors are detected (e.g., failed sensors, incorrect confi guration) an alarm and code will display. Alarms are silenced by pressing the Alarm Cancel button

. Refer to Operator’s

manual for troubleshooting assistance.
The system has three user levels. The system loads in user level 1 (operator level) at every power cycle. Access to user level 2 and 3 screens to setup constants (system confi guration)
requires a password available through an authorized Great Plains dealer.

The Quick Setup Guide assumes the Virtual Terminal, Working Set Master Module, Working Set Member Module, and all sensors
have been connected and properly installed. Quick Setup Guide assumes channel 1 (front bin) to be seed and channel 2 (rear
bin) to be fertilizer. Reference the Operator’s manual for installation instructions.

STEP 3: Auto Confi guration (identifi es sensors connected to each module)
Auto confi g is performed at the factory, but may need to be done in the fi eld as changes
are made to the system or if options are added to the base system.

Verify Auto Confi g results are correct. Check that the correct number of rows are assigned to
the correct module and number of hoppers and pressure sensors are assigned accurately.

To Run Auto Confi g:

Press Next Page

until Module Confi guration button appears.

Press Module Confi guration button

Press AUTO CONFIG button

Hour glass will indicate system is detecting the presence of seed, pressure, or hopper
sensors connected to each module and automatically assigns to the appropriate module.
When Auto Confi g completes, press the Row Assign button

to display the Row

Assignment screen to verify correct Row # is assigned to the correct module based on serial
number.
Enter # of rows assigned to each module.

STEP 5A: Material Confi guration Setup (Granular Seed Monitor)
16 different materials can be confi gured as seeding and fertilizer controls. Material defaults on
the Control Setup screen are Seed 1-4 (Granular Seed Control) Seed 5-8 (Granular Seed
Monitor) Fert 1-4 (Granular Fertilizer Control) Fert 5-8 (Granular Fertilizer Monitor).
Reference the System Confi guration section in the Operator’s Manual for additional setup
instructions.

Press the Control Setup button

At the Control Setup screen, select one of the 16 material buttons to edit (labeled Seed 1-8
and Fert 1-8).
Enter desired values from Table B.
Press the Control Setup button

to return to the Control Setup screen.

Repeat steps 2-4 for additional materials.
Press the Channel Setup button

to enter channel setup constants.

High Pop Alarm

This is the percentage above the target population of the seeder
channel if rows are assigned to the seeder channel. If rows are not
assigned to a seeder, this is the percentage above average seeder
population for all unassigned rows.

Low Pop Alarm

This is the percentage below the target population of the seeder
channel if rows are assigned to the seeder channel. If rows are not
assigned to a seeder channel, this is the percentage below average
seeder population for all unassigned rows.
