Planter Monitor Installation, Ground
Drive Row Units
The PM400 planter monitor system includes a
console
that needs to be mounted in the cab of the
tractor to be used with the planter.
The planter monitor system includes cables for power
,
speed sensor
and sensor harnesses
. Installation
instructions are found in the included DICKEY-john
manual.
Power required is 12VDC. Power color code is:
+ positive: red
- negative: black
The included bracket
requires customer-supplied
fasteners.
Transport and Field Safety Risk:
Mount the module so it is easy to monitor during planting, but
does not interfere with safe operation of the tractor in the field
or on public roads.
Planter Monitor Quick-Start
The PM400 factory defaults need to be changed to the
row configuration of a 3P3025AH planter, the speed
sensing used on all models, and may need to be
changed to metric mode. Pages 128 through 136
describe setting:
•
metric data mode,
•
planter row count,
•
planter (swath-averaged) row spacing, and;
•
initial speed calibration.
The planter monitor system must be connected to
+12 VDC power to enter these settings (the planter
monitor does not need to be connected to the implement
harness).
See the DICKEY-john 11001-1372 manual for setting
limits and alarms.
