Monitor Operation
The standard DICKEY-john
®
PM400 system monitors the
following elements of a YP625PD planter:
•
Seeds at each row unit seed tube:
Medium and larger seeds are individually counted
with high accuracy. Small seed sensing may be
limited to seed stoppage (“blockage”) detection.
•
Ground speed:
The standard magnetic pickup
a
at the ground drive
allows the monitor to calculate and report population.
For installation, see “
” on page 107. For initial console setup, see
Seed Monitor Console Quick-Start
Once setup for the planter and your display preferences,
and configured for the current crop rates/limits, the
monitor is typically used in the “OPERATE” mode. Refer
to the DICKEY-john
®
(11001-1372) for monitor operation
details.
Both the DICKEY-john
®
manual and this manual contain
trouble-shooting information for apparent monitor
problems. Check both manuals, as the focus and content
is not identical.
Null4:
a. An optional radar speed sensor is available, as are Y-cables to accept input from an existing radar on the tractor. The magnetic pickup may
be preferred, as both speed and seed flow fall to zero at lift. With radar, the monitor cannot tell that seeding should have stopped. You may
experience more nuisance alarms with radar.
