Veris Drive Operating Instructions
•
Check Nominal rates on both the SiteMate
(SiteMate Settings, Step 4), and on the GP
Controller Console (GP Settings, Step 2). These
must be set to the same number.
•
Re-check GP calibration number with metering
wheel and row spacing.
•
The recipe rates from SiteMate are in 4%
increments. If the two rates are within this 4%
range, the units are operating normally.
•
Check the Conversion number (SiteMate
Settings, Step 2). If the recipe requires a target
conversion number, i.e. the recipe is for 25 which
means 25,000 seeds/acre, the target conversion
number will be 1000. In this case the Nominal
rate in SiteMate and the GP Console should be
near 25,000. See SiteMate Setting, Step 4 for
calculating Nominal Rate.
5.
Population Monitor rate does not match GP
Controller Console
•
Make certain that SiteMate and GP Controller
Console agree. If not, see Troubleshooting Step
4 above.
•
Re-check GP calibration number with metering
wheel and row spacing.
•
Re-check planter monitor settings: calibration
number, row spacing, number of rows, swath
width, seed, etc.
•
On small seeds and/or high rates, if population
monitor consistently indicated a lower population
than the GP Controller Console, contact monitor
manufacturer for performance specs for that
application.
6.
GPS signal is not being received by SiteMate
•
Verify that GPS serial port (which is also the
docking port) is not set to PC connection only
(Start/Settings/Communications/PC
Connections).
•
Check GPS settings in Configure/Settings/GPS
settings/COM (typically COM 1, 4800 Baud, 8
data bits, Parity None, and Stop Bits 1).
•
Click Data tab to view GPS details.
