Seed Monitor Console Installation
Refer to Figure 148
The planter’s standard PM300 seed monitor system
includes a console
that needs to be mounted in the
cab of the tractor to be used with the planter.

Mount the module so it is easy to monitor during planting, but
does not interfere with safe operation of the tractor in the field
or on public roads.
The monitor includes cables for power
, speed
sensor
and sensor harness
. Installation
instructions are found in the included DICKEY-john
®
manual.
Power color code is:
+ positive: red
- negative: black
The included bracket
requires customer-supplied fasteners.
