TABLE C:
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 guration 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 50 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 relation 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 32 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 480 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 multiplied 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)
At the Control Setup screen, press the Channel Setup button .
Select Channel 1 and verify that the channel is set to Planter Control.
Enter desired values using Table C 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 loca-
tions 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
complete to return to the Main Work screen.
Once a control channel has been established as Planter Control, any new
materials 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.

STEP 5B: Material Confi guration Setup (Ground Driven
Metering)
For Ground Driven Metering, all control channels 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 Setup
screen to activate high and low population alarms.
At the Main Menu screen, press the Control Setup button .
Select and press one of the Material buttons (Material 1-16).
Enter desired values from Table B2.
