(SiteMate Settings, step 4) and on the GP
Console (GP Settings, step 2); these must be
set to the same number
4. Rates on GP Console and on SiteMate do not
match
• check Nominal Rates on both the SiteMate
(SiteMate Settings, step 4) and on the GP
Console (Gp Settings, step 2); these must be
set to the same number
• recheck GP calibration number with metering
wheel and row spacing.
• the recipe rates for SiteMate are in 4% incre-
ments; If the two rates are within this 4%
range, the units are operating normally
• check the Conversion number (SiteMate Set-
tings, step 2); if the recipe requires a target
conversion number, i.e. the recipe is for 25
which means 25,000 seeds/acre, the target
conversion number will be 1000; (In this case
the Nominal Rate in SiteMate and the GP
console should be near 25,000); see SiteM-
ate Settings, step 4 for calculating Nominal
Rate
5. Population Monitor rate does not match GP
Controller Console
• make certain that SiteMate and GP controller
Console agree; if not, see Troubleshooting,
step 4 above.
• recheck GP calibration number with metering
wheel and row spacing
• recheck planter monitor settings: calibration
number, row spacing, number of rows, swath
width, seed, etc.
• on small seeds and/or high rates, if popula-
tion monitor consistently indicates a lower
population than the GP Controller Console,
contact monitor manufacturer for perfomance
specs for that application
6. GPS signal is not being received by SiteMate
• verify that GPS serial port (which is also the
docking port) is not set to PC connection only
(Start/Settings/Communications/PC Connec-
tions)
• check GPS settings in Configure/Settings/
GPS settings/COM )typically COM1, 4800
Baud, 8 data bits, Parity None, and Stop Bits
