STEP 5B: Material Confi guration Setup (Split Air Regulation)
It is recommended that when setting a control channel for split air, the material
name be created as “Air” to eliminate confusion between the actual material and
the control used.
At the Main Work screen, press the Control Setup button
.
Press Material button 16 for Split Air Control.
Create Material Name as “Air”.
Enter desired valuues from Table C1.
Press the Work Screen button
to return to the Main Work screen.

specifi c material. CREATE MATERIAL NAME AS “AIR”.
Units
In H20
Oz in2
Automatically changes with the type of material application
selected. Changes units for target application.
Preset Method
Disabled
User-defi ned target rates can be confi gured and when enabled
can be adjusted from the Main Work screen using the Incre-
ment/Decrement buttons.
Target Rate
2.00
Establishes the desired rate of application in inches of H20.
Max Rate
5.00
Maximum application rate in inches of H20.
Min Rate
1.00
Minimum application rate in inches of H20.
Inc/Dec %
5%
Percentage of change of the entered target rate applied each
time the Increment/Decrement button is pressed on the Main
Work screen.
STEP 5B: Planter Control Channel Setup
(Controlled Hydraulic Drive)
Select Channel 1 and verify that the channel is set to Planter Control.
Enter desired values using Table B2 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 posi-
tion, 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 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.

Set desired Channel Type as Planter Control.
Material Name
Displays only materials that have been confi gured for the chan-
nel 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 manufactur-
er’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
36
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
720
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.
