Row-Pro™ Components
Refer to Figure 161 and Figure 162
The main systems of Row-Pro™ consist of:
1.
An air compressor system:
one 12VDC air
compressor
with air tank
, two extension
cables
, and one fuse assembly
.
2.
A load sensing system:
DPLCM (Down Pressure
Load Cell Module)
and the load cells
.
3.
An adjusting system:
valves
and air
cylinders
.
Load Cell, DPLCM and Valves
The DPLCM
and valves
are mounted together on
a plate and are connected to the DICKEY-john
®
Row-Pro™ wiring harness
.
Two leads on the Row-Pro™ harness each connect to a
load cell
which is located in the opener body (see
fig.162). Four leads connect to the valve sets. There is
one pair (one air intake, one exhaust) for each valve.
For single row planters:
There is one load cell and one valve set per each
opener section located at mid section.
For twin row planters:
There are two load cells and two valve sets per each
opener section located on the long and short center
row unit of the section.
The Row-Pro™ harness connects to the planter’s
CANbus at connector ends
.
The load cell provides feedback so the system can
maintain the target pressures.
The DPLCM uses the readings from the load cell to
regulate the air valves in order to increase or decrease
pressure in the air cylinders.
