Monitor Material Configuration
The DICKEY-john IntelliAG monitor reads meter shaft
speeds and can report pounds/acre (or kg/Ha) planted.
In order to report accurately, the monitor requires several
inputs. Inputs that rarely change were entered during drill
setup. Inputs specific to particular materials (seed or fer-
tilizer) need to be entered when those materials are first
used, and when changed.
Material Configuration Setup Screen
for Seeds
“Type” - This must be set to “Gran Seed Monitor” to con-
figure for seeds.
Density Units” - In metric mode this is always kg/liter.
If configured for “U.S.” mode (U.S. customary units), this
is pounds-per-bushel or pounds-per-cubic-foot.
“Density” - This is the density of seed being planted.
Obtain this information from the material container/sup-
plier. If unknown, use the value specified in the rate
chart.
“Total Number of Towers” - This is the number of pri-
mary hoses coming off the rear meter box
(this is always 4 for NTA907HD or NTA3007HD).
“Calibration Constant” - This is the number listed in the
seed rate charts for the rate you are planting or the num-
ber obtained from running the calibration routine for your
specific seed.
Material Configuration Setup Screen for
Fertilizer
“Type” - This must be set to “Gran Fert Monitor” to con-
figure for fertilizer.
“Density” - Enter the density of Fertilizer being applied,
in kilograms-per-liter (pounds-per-cubic-foot). Obtain this
information from the material container/supplier. If
unknown, use the value specified in the rate chart.
“Total Number of Towers” - This is the number of pri-
mary hoses coming off the rear meter box
(this is always 4 for NTA907HD or NTA3007HD).
“Calibration Constant” - This is the number listed in the
seed rate charts for the rate you are planting or the num-
ber obtained from running the calibration routine for your
specific fertilizer.

Note: Always enter Density Units before entering the
Density value. Changing the value of Density
Units will alter the value of Density.
