Planter Wiring Harness Instructions:
Note: See Appendix A in this Section for detailed wiring diagrams on your
particular planter.
1. Lay out all 4 and/or 8 Row Wiring Harness to each row starting at one end of the
planter and ending at the other end. (see Row Planter Arrangement Diagrams)
2. The row numbers on the 4 or 8 Row Wiring Harness are for manufacturing pur-
poses only and do not reference to a particular row. Note: Do not connect me-
ters to the 4 or 8 Row Wiring Harness at this time. You will be prompted to do
so during the row configuration process.
3. Start from one side of the planter and connect the adjacent 4 or 8 Row Wiring
Harness to each other. Up to 16 individual rows can be connected to one row
adaptor cable.
4. Attach the Row Adapter Cable to the 4 or 8 Row Wiring Harness closest to the
center of the planter.
5. The Row Adapter Cable will then be plugged into a port on the Power Distribution
Box.
Each row adaptor cable can be connected to up to 16 individual rows.
6. Repeat steps 2 - 4 with the remainder of the rows. Do not add the cable ties at
this point.
7. In some cases you may need a Meter Cable Extension or a 4 or 8 Row Harness
Extension to connect all the Meters to your Harnesses as well as reaching the
Power Distribution Box.
8. Stop at this point and start wiring from the tractor back to the Power Distribution
Box. Note: You may need to move the Power Distribution Box to accommodate
the length of the wiring coming from the tractor.
Tractor and Planter Hitch Wiring Harness Instructions:
1. Start at the tractor-planter hitch point. Lay out the Communication / Battery Har-
ness Assembly and run the battery side of the harness to the battery (see Figure
13 and instructions on page 13) and the communication side of the harness to
the cab of the tractor.
2. Connect the battery side of the Wiring Harness directly to the 12-volt or 24 volt
battery on the tractor. Do not remove the fuse from the battery cable (see Fig-
ure 13).Connect the communication side of the Wiring Harness to the Controller
Console Pigtail which will then plug into the controller (see Figure 11).
