monitor,
operating in Planter/Drill Control mode. There are setup
differences vs. other YP40 planters, generally:
• Row delivery tubes are equipped with blockage
sensors. These rows are treated as “seed” rows
numbered from
• Seed tubes are monitored in Population mode.
Fertilizer applicators are monitored in Blockage mode.
• There are two hopper level sensors in use:
1. Seed air box
2. Fertilizer hopper level
• There is one air pressure sensor in use, installed in
the fertilizer hopper.
• There is a second
a
rpm sensor, installed on the left
end of the fertilizer meter shaft. Although the seed
monitor can report the rpm, the main use is as a shaft
monitor.
Set upper and lower rpm limits based on the fertilizer
rate chart, and your planned field speed. The chart
shows expected meter rpm for various gearbox
settings, in High and Low range, at 9.7 kph (6 mph). If
using a different field speed, adjust the expected rpm
proportionately.
Marker Operation
The YP24/YP40 DF/seeder feature does not affect
marker operations.
