Initial Setup
The following items need to be done for first use, and
some need to be re-done if the tractor changes.
Initial Tractor Setup
Three modules are mounted in the tractor cab. Route
harnesses clear of moving parts, and allow enough slack
for turns, especially on articulated tractors.
Veris Controller
The standard Veris hydraulic drive, controller module and
DICKEY-john radar are factory-installed on the drill. The
Veris console needs to be installed in the tractor prior to
first use. It includes suction cup feet that can support the
console on glazing for extended periods.
Refer to Figure 8
Mount the console where the display is visible during
planting, but does not obstruct vision of tractor or drill
systems, and does not impair safe highway transport.
Installation instructions are found in an included Veris
manual. Additional copies are available at:
www.veristech.com
Expanded operating information from that manual is
found in this manual, starting on page 38.
Once the console is installed, you can enter the initial
setup data by stepping through the calibration sequence
but not actually operating the motor. See page 42.
Moving Chain Hazard
Pinch/Crush Hazard
Shaft Entanglement Hazard
Be careful when working around drill while tractor is running.
Any movement detected by the radar gun (Figure 9) can
activate the Veris hydraulic drive causing motion of chains,
sprockets, shafts and seed meters.
Vision Hazard:
The DICKEY-john RVS II radar speed sensor is an intentional
radiator of RF energy. Although its radiated energy level is far
below the limits set by EN 61010-1: 1993\A2: 1995 - Chapter
12.4, it is advisable not to look directly into the face of the unit.
The radar must radiate toward the ground and at least 20 cm
(8 inches) away from a human during use to comply with the
RF human exposure limits per FCC 47 CFR Sec. 2.1091.
DO NOT mount or use the radar in a manner inconsistent with
its defined use.
