The
DICKEY-john Seed Manager is the latest
addition to the Benchmark® Series. It’s
a precision planter monitor capable of
monitoring up to 36 rows. The bar graph
display shows up to 12 rows at a time
giving the operator a visual indication
of planter performance. When used with
DICKEY-john’s patented* new "Seed
Smart®" sensor technology, Seed Manager
provides exceedingly accurate seed count
and will even display how well each row
unit is singulating out the seed.
Advanced Seed Smart circuitry reduces
harnessing needs and allows for easier
installation of system. Seed Manager is
equipped with an RS232 for communicating
with GPS systems and for future software
upgrades and enhancements.
* Patent #5635911
Over Thirty-one
Years of Technology
Features of the Seed
Manager Include :
Seed Manager works with
existing DICKEY-john planter
harnessing or utilizes new Seed
Smart sensor technology
Monitors up to 36 rows
Displays population, seed
spacing, and singulation
Programmable high/low
population warning
Reads out shaft RPM with
high/low warning
3 area accumulators
Bar graph indicates
performance of each row unit
RS232 allows for precision
farming interface to map what
you plant
Adjustable alarm volume
Using the new Seed Smart®
sensor simplifies & reduces
harnessing
Higher accuracy with small
grains & specialty crops
Non-volatile memory retains
settings even when disconnected
from battery
The
DICKEY-john PM3000 was designed to be
easy to use and provide years of trouble
free operation. An automatic sensor
check on power up ensures all seed
sensors are detected and functioning
properly. The "Scan" feature allows the
console to cycle through all the rows
and display either an individual row
population or seed spacing and then the
planter average population or planter
average seed spacing. Speed can be
obtained through radar, universal
magnetic sensor, or a gear pickup on the
planter itself. If you're looking for
simplicity and reliability, the PM3000
is the planter monitor of choice.
Features of the
PM3000 include:
Monitors up to 32 rows
Speed
Area
Population
Seed spacing
Area/Hour
Audible alarm for row
failure indication
Large, easy to read LCD
Display
Doubles as a speed and area
monitor when not planting
The
Seed Check is the newest addition to the
lineup of planter monitors from
DICKEY-john. Functioning as a planter
monitor for up to 12 rows, or drill
monitor for 6 rows and 3 hopper level
inputs, the Seed Check is packed full of
features at an economical price. One
switch steps the display through
POPULATION, SPEED, AREA 1, and AREA 2. A
"LOW FLOW ALARM" can be set to indicate
when the seed flow of an individual row
drops below the average seed flow of the
planter or drill. This alarm is
adjustable to 90%, 80%, 60%, or 40% of
the average seed flow, and will trigger
an alarm if any row falls under the set
percentage. Aside from using a radar or
magnetic sensor for ground speed, the
Seed Check allows you to enter a manual
ground speed, thus eliminating the need
for a speed sensor. The alarm switch is
used to acknowledge active alarms, and
also adjust the alarm volume.
Seed Check Features
Include:
Seed flow monitoring - 12 Rows
Average population
Seed hopper level sensing - 3
hoppers
2 area accumulators
Ground speed radar, magnetic
sensor, or manually entered ground
speed
Adjustable, audible alarms
Compatible with DICKEY-john high
rate or standard sensors
The
DICKEY-john PM1000 series planter
monitors offer a low cost alternative to
those only requiring a seed flow
monitor. The PM1000 is available in
either a 8 row or 16 row version and is
a basic unit that shows seed flow and
sounds an alarm whenever a row fails.
DjPM1000 Features Include:
Automatic sensor detection
circuit determines which rows on
harness have sensors
Available in either 8 row or 16
row monitoring capability
Flashing lamps monitor seed flow
and go out when seed flow is not
detected
