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 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 18 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)
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 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
complete 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.
