TABLE C1:

Planter Control

Setup

Default Value/

Value to Enter

Instructions/Defi nitions

Type

Planter Control

Set desired Channel Type as Planter Control.

Material Name

Displays only materials that have been confi gured for the channel

type.

Control Mode

AUTO

Auto is used in normal operating conditions calculating the rate of how

the system is running. Manual mode acts as an override if application

rate sensors are inoperable allowing the use of increase/decrease

buttons to set the fl ow rate for the control. Refer to System Confi gura-

tion section of Operator’s manual for additional information.

Drive Type

PWM

A hydraulic valve varies the oil fl ow to the motor proportioned to the

electric current supplied.

Drive Frequency

100 Hz

If not using a DICKEY-john supplied valve, see the manufacturer’s

specifi cations for drive frequency.

Input Filter

Feedback frequency fi lter for the control channel. DO NOT CHANGE.

Gear Ratio

1.900

Specifys the actual ratio from the feedback sensor to the seed meter

shaft RPM. Number of revolutions the feedback sensor turns in rela-

tion to one revolution the seed meter turns.

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.

# of Seed Rows

Entry of a specifi c number of seed rows for 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.

Channel Width

360

Manual entry of the channel width for rows assigned to a specifi c

channel. Width calculation can be determined by # of planter rows

assigned to the channel multipled by the row spacing.

Precharge Time

+ 0.0

Typically used during startup conditions in the fi eld, a Precharge

time is a specifi ed length of time a control channel will operate at the

defi ned Precharge Ground Speed. Must be entered as a positive (+)

number.

Delay Time

- 0.0

Length of time before the control channel will start after the master

switch has been turned ON and the implement switch is in a lowered

position. Must be entered as a negative (-) number.

STEP 6A: Planter Control Channel Setup
(Controlled Hydraulic Drive)

Select Channel 1 and verify that the channel is set to Planter Control.

Enter desired values using Table C1 as reference.

After planter control setup, calibrate hydraulic valve by pressing the Valve Cal

button

Ensure implement is raised. With brakes locked and transmission in PARK

position, start engine.

Engage hydraulics and run engine at normal speed until hydraulic fl uid is at

operating temperature.

Verify point row clutches are turned ON.

Do NOT perform this step unless meters are installed in all locations

across planter row units or drive damage will occur.

Press the START button

. Turn the master switch to the ON position.

The valve calibration will immediately start. Keep the hydraulics engaged until

the calibration completes.

When the screen indicates calibration is complete, press the Channel Setup

button

to return to Channel 1 home screen.

Turn the master switch OFF.

To set up additional control channels (planter or fertilizer control), press the

Next Channel button

Press the Work Screen button

when channel confi gurations are com-

plete to return to the Main Work screen.

Once a control channel has been established as Planter Control, any new materi-
als established as Planter Control on the Material Setup screen will automatically
be added as optional materials for Planter Control channels on the Control Setup
screen.

Ground Driven Metering

Instructions/Defi nitions

Type

Monitor Only

Desired type of application control channel being used for a specifi c

material.

Units

Ks/Ac

S/Sec

Automatically changes with the type of material application selected.

Changes units for target application.

Target Population

32.0

1000s of seeds per acre or hectare (32,000 seeds per acre)

High Pop Alarm

Warns of a high population problem. Values are % based.

Low Pop Alarm

Warns of a low population problem. Values are % based.

On/Off Pattern

Rows can be automatically turned ON or OFF according to the

pattern.

Row Fail Rate

2/1 (2 seeds

every 1 second)

Set to desired number of seeds per second to trigger seed sensor

failure alarm.

STEP 5B: Material Confi guration Setup (Ground Drive Metering)

For Ground Drive Metering, control channels 1, 3, and 4 MUST be disabled
and the Monitor Only feature selected at the Control Setup screen. NOTE: A
Material Name must also be selected at the Row Monitor screen to activate
high and low population alarms.

At the Main Work screen, press the Next Page button

one time.

Press the Control Setup button

Select and press one of the Material buttons (Material 1-16).

Enter desired values from Table B2.

Press the Control Setup button

to return to the Control Setup screen.

Repeat steps 3-5 for additional materials.

Press the Channel Setup button

to proceed to the Channel Setup

screen and disable any active channels (Step 6B).

STEP 6B: Planter Control Channel Setup
(Ground Driven Metering)

NOTE: When using a ground drive/nonhydraulic application to monitor
population, control channels 1, 3, and 4 must be disabled and Material Setup
confi gured for Monitor Only. A material name must also be selected on the
Row Monitor screen.

Press the Channel Setup button

Select Channel 1 and verify that the channel is set to Disabled.
Press the Next Channel button

to change control channels 3 and 4 to
