    Step 5: Connect the 725155 Speed Harness to the 8-pin Deutsch connector on the DBM. This will provide you with two 4-pin round connections. The male pin connector will connect to the GPS adapter, while the female pin connector will connect to the Radar adapter.

  • Page 11: Cab Control Module [Ccm]

    Cab Control Module [CCM] The CCM is installed below the display. If two displays are being utilized only one CCM should be installed (it does not matter which display it is connected to). All planter control products being run through the 20|20 require a CCM to be installed as it has a Master Plant switch and swath control features.

  • Page 12: Home Screen Overview

    Home Screen Overview The Home Screen displays seeding information in an easy to read, easy to navigate format. This information is presented as both metrics and high definition maps. There are three different home screen configurations that can be quickly selected to change the layout of the home screen. All three screens can be customized with different types of measurements, button sizes, map sizes, control buttons, and minichart.

  • Page 13: Controlling The Map

    Selecting the Map Type name (e.g. Coverage) at the top of the map will display the Map Layer Selection screen. All map types are listed on this page (the systems installed and configured will determine which map types will build a map). Map types are categorized by General, Air Seeder, and Seed.
  • Page 14 • A third way to change the map orientation is to place two fingers on the map and rotate the map. Rotating the map in this style will lock the map into the orientation that it was rotated to. To switch back to North Facing press the compass button.

  • Page 15: Dashboard Mini Chart

    • Map types can be changed at any time by selecting a different type. • Some map types require specific Precision Planting products to be installed on the planter to generate the information necessary to create a map. • If the map has moved away from the tractor/seeder location, a white arrow will appear on the edge of the map pointing to the direction the tractor/seeder is in.
