Page 3: Master Switch Module
1.2 Master Switch Module The master switch has three positions OFF, AUTO, and MANUAL. AUTO position is where the system is controlling based on actual ground speed and the current application rate. MANUAL is a momentary position that allows the system to control at a preprogrammed manual ground speed. The manual ground speed value can be changed under the setup menu.

The next press of the OPERATE key will take you back to the Primary Operate screen. If you are on any of the operate screens, the ENTER function key is a shortcut back to the primary operate screen. 2.2 Setup Mode This set of screens is used to setup the desired configuration that has been selected under the SERVICE, CONFIGURATION menu.
Page 7 MIN OVERRIDE A minimum ground speed that is used by the Land Manager® SE when actual ground speed is below this value. SHUT OFF SPEED The minimum ground speed allowed before the system stops operation. NUM OF SECTIONS The total amount of boom sections used. Maximum of 6 boom sections. NOZZLE SPACING Distance between nozzles.
Page 8: Setup Liquid Flow
2.2.2 Setup Liquid Flow APPLICATION RATE The target rate for applying product. INC\DEC RATE The desired increment/decrement value for changing the application rate during application. Note the channel must be selected on the primary operate screen for the INC/DEC to work. MINIMUM RATE Minimum application rate that the system can be decreased to.
Page 9: Setup Anhydrous
2.2.3 Setup Anhydrous Be sure to read and observe the anhydrous safety precautions under the configuration section 2.3.4.5 before proceeding. APPLICATION RATE The target rate for applying product. TANK PRESSURE Pressure read from the nurse tank. If gauge is not functioning, see chart below.

PRODUCT LEVEL When ENABLED, the amount of product remaining is displayed on the PRODUCT LEVEL operate screen. The product level decreases as material is applied. When this is ENABLED the reset level and alarm level values are added to the SETUP menu structure and needs to be set. NOTE: After enabling this feature, the product level must be set on the PRODUCT LEVEL operate screen before application is to start, see section 2.1.4.
Page 12: Ground Speed Cal
START CAL To capture the pulses over the defined course, select the START CAL by pressing the function key. When you are up to the operating speed and even with the start of the predefined course, press the ENTER function key. The calibration routine will start accumulating the pulses.

The range is 40 to 250 Hz. NOTE: The anhydrous configuration will not have a choice for drive type or frequency. The anhydrous configuration is only for DICKEY-john servo valves. Be sure to read and observe the following safety precautions before proceeding.
Page 15 7. Store and handle anhydrous ammonia in accordance with state and local regulations. Where no state or local regulations exist, use only equipment that is constructed in accordance with The Fertilizer Institute Standards. 8. Ensure all ammonia is out of the system before disconnecting or disassembling any parts. Be alert for frosting which is a certain indication of trapped liquid ammonia vaporizing.

CHANNEL SETUP There are three access states for the SETUP menu ACCESS, NO ACCESS, OR PARTIAL. ACCESS All of the SETUP constants can be accessed without the password. NO ACCESS None of the SETUP constants can be accessed until the password is entered.
Page 18: Liquid Flowmeter Calibration
Nozzle Calibration Device Measure and record the output of all of the nozzles along with the nozzle pressure. Average all of the nozzles and use that number as the NOZZLE CONSTANT. Then enter the pressure used while calibrating as the NOZZLE PRESSURE. Catch Test Using a Calibrated Container The second method of nozzle calibration is to catch the water in a calibrated container.
Page 19: Spreader Constant Calibration
Once the area is covered, record the tank weight. Calculate the amount of anhydrous used and compare that to the controllers accumulated values. Determine the percent of error and adjust the K-factor accordingly. A typical DICKEY-john anhydrous flowmeter K-factor starting point is 2.15 P/In...

A self-test failure appears on the display with an error message. Other types of errors show error messages as listed below. Two types of self-test errors may occur during start-up.
Page 25 Type 6 Error - 600 thru 699 series - System failure. Restart system to see if error failure clears. If it cannot be cleared after several attempts, record all the information on the screen and then call DICKEY-john Service for assistance. • Alarm 635 - MEMORY READ ERROR •...
Page 27 Figure C2. Ball Valve in Open Position During installation of a servo return valve, the valve assembly must be in the open position when the actuator is placed on the valve body as shown in Figure C2. If using a 2-inch or 3- inch butterfly valve, remove the four bolts at the bottom of the actuator and rotate until the coupling post are in the position shown in Figure C3.
