PHYSICAL LAYOUT
Physical layout of the implement is required to determine the position of the
planter control channel in the field. The physical layout of planter center is
calculated by measuring the distance from the center of the row units to the
hitch pivot point connection.
NOTE: If Task Controller functionality is
used, these coordinates should
already be established. To measure X/Y Coordinates:
1. Stand behind the implement facing tractor.
X coordinate:
– Measured from the hitch pivot point to where the seed is placed in
the ground, i.e. bottom of seed tube, and entered as a negative
entry (-X). This measurement should be entered for each control
channel enabled.
Y coordinate:
– Channels to the left of hitch pivot point are entered as a negative
entry (-Y).
– Channels to the right of hitch pivot point are entered as a positive
entry (Y).

IMPORTANT: It is critical to enter the exact distances required when
setting up the physical layout of the implement position.
Do not guess; use a tape measure to find exact
measurements. Failure to enter accurate measurements
of the implement control channels will impact the
system’s performance to shut row sections off at the
proper location within the field.
