DirectCommand Installation Safety Notices CAUTION: Hydraulic equipment should be on safety stops, hydraulic pressure relieved with machines systems turned off and all machine motion stopped before starting work. CAUTION: Be sure to wear proper eye protection when using any power tools, such as when drilling any mounting holes. IMPORTANT: Check behind vehicle and implement panels for any holes, wiring or controls that could be damaged when drilling any holes. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the Display, DirectCommand components and any sensors from electrical system when welding on equipment or jump starting unit to prevent component damage due to power surges or excessive current. IMPORTANT: If using a non Ag Leader GPS receiver, make sure to install a Null Modem Cable, included in the Display Kit, to prevent damage to the Display or GPS receiver. IMPORTANT: Use Dielectric grease to coat the seals and terminals of each connector that will be exposed to weather or chemicals as you plug them in. NOTE: Be sure to follow the alignment keys on the plugs and the receptacles carefully. Do not use excessive force when mating connectors. Page 6 of 11 October 2011 PN: 2006318 Rev. A

Setting up the Display 1. Refer to the control chart below for setting up the Display. 12V DC Motor PWM Configuration Setting Name Default Value Description Control Configuration PWM 12 Volt Rate Control is achieved through speed changes of the Crop Start fertilizer pump. The PWM signal is sent from the LCM to the DC Motor Driver and then to the Crop Start Fertilizer Pump. PWM Frequency 100 This setting is the frequency that the 12V fertilizer pump is pulsed at. Gain* 21000 Allowable Error 2% This setting determines how aggressively the fertilizer pump responds when making rate change adjustments. The higher the value, the more aggressive the system response is. Note: Leaving all other control settings at the default value and making small adjustments to the Gain is usually all that is required to fine-tune the control system. Determines the percent of error that is allowed prior to the product control system making any flow rate corrections. Too low of a setting will cause the control system to continually hunt for the target application rate. Too high of a setting will cause excessive application error. Zero Flow offset 5 This setting represents the maximum duty cycle that is sent to the fertilizer pump without producing product flow. Using too high of a Zero Flow Offset value can cause the product delivery system to not properly shut off. Flow Meter Cal* *See Flow Meter This is the pulses per gallon through the flow meter. Note: Raven flow meter calibration numbers are in pulses per 10 gallons of product flow. To calculate the appropriate values, divide the Raven calibration number by 10 before entering into the Ag Leader Display. PN: 2006318 Rev. A October 2011 Page 11 of 11
