Quick Setup Guide for IntelliAg Model NTA
STEP 6B: Channel Setup (Granular Fertilizer Monitor)
Channel 2 is generally used for granular fertilizer monitor setup.
At the Channel Setup screen, press the Next Channel button
to setup additional control channels.
Set channel 2 as granular fertilizer monitor.
Enter desired values using Table F as reference.
Continue to set up control channels 3 and 4, if required.
Press the Work Screen Button when channel confi gu-
rations are complete to return to the Main Work screen.
Once a Control Channel has been established as Granular Fertil-
izer Monitor, any new materials established as granular fertilizer
monitor on the Material Setup screen will automatically be added
as optional materials for granular fertilizer monitor channels on
the Control Setup screen.

Type Gran Fert Monitor Set desired Channel Type as Gran Fert Monitor.
Material Name Fert 5 Displays only materials that have been confi gured for the channel type.
Input Filter 50 Feedback frequency fi lter for the control channel. DO NOT CHANGE.
Sensor Constant 360 Sensor Constant establishes the number of pulses for one revolution of the feedback
sensor. If a DICKEY-john application rate sensor is used, the value should be set to
360.0.
Gear Ratio 1.0 Specifys the actual ratio from the feedback sensor to the seed meter shaft RPM.
Number of revolutions the feedback sensor turns in relation to one revolution the seed
meter turns.

variable rate kit option installed. Proceed to step 7 if
variable rate is not applicable.
STEP 6C: Channel Setup (Granular Seed & Fertilizer
Control)
Press the Channel Setup button .
Select an available channel and set to either granular seed
control or granular fertilizer control.
Enter desired values using Table G as reference.
To set up additional control channels, press the Next Channel
button .

Control
Set desired Channel Type as either Gran Seed Control or Gran Fertilizer Control.
Material Name Seed 1/Fert 1 Displays only materials that have been confi gured for the channel type.
Control Mode Auto Calculates application rates based on ground speed and channel width under normal
operating conditions.
Drive Type Zero Max A Zero Max gear box controlled by a linear actuator for those applications with an
installed variable rate kit option.
Drive Frequency 40 The Hz frequency for the linear actuator specifi ed by the valve manufacturer.
Input Filter 50 Feedback frequency fi lter for the control channel. DO NOT CHANGE.
Sensor Constant 360 Sensor constant establishes the number of pulses for one revolution of the feedback
sensor. If a DICKEY-john application rate sensor is used, the value should be set to
360.0.
Gear Ratio 1.0 Specifys the actual ratio from the feedback sensor to the seed meter shaft RPM.
Number of revolutions the feedback sensor turns in relation to one revolution the seed
meter turns.
Grd Spd/Trans In
Ratio
45 Ratio between distance traveled to one revolution of the input to the Zero Max transmis-
sion. Ratio determines the input sprocket speed from the known ground speed.
Meter Gear Range High/Low Determined by the position of the interchangeable gears. High range used for larger
seeds and higher seeding rates. Low range used for smaller seeds and lower seeding
rates. Refer to Great Plain’s operator’s manual for recommended high/low setting.
# of Seed Rows 36 row Entry of a specifi c number of seed rows to the control channel. Row assignment is given
a priority based on the channel and will be assigned sequentially thereafter. Channel 1
is always assigned to the fi rst set of rows. Channel 2 next set of rows, and so on.
