INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Digi-Star Planter Scale for John Deere 1770 planter in 12, 16 and
24 rows.
The scale system is specially designed to weigh the central commodity seed hopper. The scale will record and
monitor seed weigh going into or out of the CCS hopper.
This scale system is covered by the following US patents: 6732667, 7059258 and 7273017. The single-use
license is included with this document (see page 12).
This
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
symbol, be alert to the possibility of
NEVER OPERATE WITHOUT ALL COVERS, SHIELDS AND GUARDS IN PLACE. KEEP
HANDS, FEET AND CLOTHING AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Some covers and guards have been removed for illustrative/photographic purposes only in this manual.

indicates important safety messages in the manual. When you see this
PERSONAL INJURY
and carefully read the message that follows.
Important!
Charging Battery and Welding
Disconnect all cables from the weighing indicator before charging the battery or welding on the machine. If
cables are left connected, the weighing indicator and connected load cells could be damaged.
Important:
Do not weld near indicator, load cells or cables; remove from area to be welded. Place ground
close to area to be welded to prevent current from passing through electronic parts.

Scale Bracket and Load Cell Mounting Installation
SCALE BRACKET AND LOAD CELL MOUNTING INSTALLATION
1. With the planter wings folded in, lift one side of the hopper and remove the rear leg support.
Important: The lifting chains, bucket attachment, loader/skid steer or winch must be capable of lifting
and controlling 1000 lbs.

2. Assemble both the left/right hand rear leg assembly.
Place the CT Load Cell between the top and bottom legs.
Use the 5/8” x 2” bolts on the outside two holes of the
security plates. On the center holes of the security plates,
use the clevis pins to secure the plate. Tighten 5/8” bolts
until the bolt is snug. See Detail C.
3. Replace the rear two legs with the new leg assembly.
Install the new leg assembly with the scissor plates to the
outside of the machine. Reuse the original 5/8-11 bolts,
nuts and U-bolt for installing the top and bottom load cell
weldments. After installing the new leg, loosen the lock
nut on the bolts that hold the security plates together, so
the bolts themselves can be turned by hand. Figure 2
shows a completed Rear Mount.
4. Front Mount Assembly: Remove the bolts to the front load cell bracket and frame. Lift front leg up 3/4” and
install the weigh bar into the sleeve of the front leg. Use the 3/4” x 4” bolt and locknut.
NOTE:
It is important that the load cell arrow, located on the end of the load cell, must be pointed up.
Install the front load cell mount bracket by using the 3/4” x 4” bolt and locknuts.
Let the hopper down and use the existing bolts to hold the end bracket to the frame. Make sure you have
clearance between the main bracket and the frame. The holes are slotted on the end bracket. You may
need to adjust the bracket before tightening bolts.

Scale Bracket and Load Cell Mounting Installation for Refuge Hopper
SCALE BRACKET AND LOAD CELL MOUNTING INSTALLATION FOR
REFUGE HOPPER
A Refuge Option on a planter is a planter fitted with a third hopper located on the front of the planter.
An extra load cell and brackets are required to weigh the extra third hopper.
Remove the refuge hopper leg and bolt in the new top scale support. Reuse original 3/4 bolt and lock nut.
Slide load cell into top support (Load cell arrow decal must point upward) and secure with 3/4 x 4.0 bolt and 3/4
lock nut. Mount frame refuge bracket and secure with 5/8 x 4.0 bolt and 5/8 lock nut. Bolt frame refuge
bracket with 5/8 x 17.5” U-bolt, lock nuts. Use the 5” x 3/4” bolts to hold weigh bar in place.

Catwalk Stairs Adjustment
CATWALK STAIRS ADJUSTMENT
In order for the hopper scale system to weigh correctly, the following adjustment must be made on the catwalk
stairs.
Note 1: Loosen the left and right hand catwalk bolts. Remove the flange nut and replace with M10-1.5 flange
lock nut. Tighten the new lock nut until a 1/16” clearance between the lock nut flange and the step frame plate.

Junction Box Mounting
JUNCTION BOX MOUNTING
The junction box is water resistant, not water-proof. It should be mounted to avoid submersion during wet
weather and to avoid physical abuse. The junction box can be mounted on the front or rear of the drill,
planter or seeder. All load cell cables must reach the J-Box. Install by removing the double sided tape
backing and apply to cleaned surface.
Connect Load Cell and J-Box Cable
1. Route front and rear load cell cables to J-box
location. Make sure they are not bound or
pinched. Cable tie (customer provided) load
cell cables in place.
2. Insert load cell and J-box cables through each
of the water-tight strain-reliefs.
3. Remove each terminal block from the J-box.
4. Connect wires of the same color to the same
terminal block. See instructions below.
5. Install terminal block into the J-box as shown
(location not important).
6. Tighten nuts on the water-tight strain-reliefs.
7. Assure that gasket is properly installed in the
cover.
8. Attach cover using 4 screws (provided).
Installing wires into Terminal Block
1. Open levers 90º to locked position.
2. Insert individual wires into terminal.
3. Close lever.
4. Tug wire to assure solid connection.
Note: Wire strip length is 7/16” (11mm).

INDICATOR MOUNTING
The scale indicator can be mounted in the tractor cab or on the drill, planter or seeder with swivel mounting
pack (406081). Two cables must be connected to the indicator bottom panel, J-Box and power cables. Refer
to Indicator Manual D3831-US for details of indicator mounting options and connection of power cord.
PLANTER MOUNTING
1. Bolt the readout in the cab, or mount the swivel bracket on the drill, planter or seeder.
2. Install power cord to a 12-volt negative ground battery.
3. Route J-box cable to indicator and install to indicator bottom panel.
4. Program indicator with set-up #145035 and calibration #24200 for the John Deere 1770, and set-up
#145035 and calibration #32890 for the John Deere 1770 with Refuge Option (see Indicator Manual).
INDICATOR MOUNTINGS
TRACTOR CAB MOUNTING
Power Connection:
The power cable should be connected directly to a vehicle battery or regulated power supply. The scale end of
the power cable is attached to the J901 connector located on the bottom panel of the indicator.
Connect the RED wire from the power cable to +12 VDC and the BLACK wire to GROUND. The indicator is
fused internally at 4 amps.
Power Cable Connections:
Red
Black
Battery (+12 VDC)
GROUND
Load Cell Connection:
The indicator is designed to operate with strain gage load cells. The indicator will normally be supplied with a
“J-BOX” cable going between the scale and the load cell junction box. Extension kits are available from your
dealer in various lengths.

Trouble Shooting
TROUBLE SHOOTING
How to Check the Drill Scale after Installation
For the first test, lift the drill, planter or seeder all the way up, to a level area. Put 200-250 pounds of weight on
the right side, then compare it to the left. Both sides should be within four to six pounds of each other.
•
If the weight is not within the four to six pound range, inspect the scale system for loose or misalign
mounts.
The second test is to lift the drill, planter or seeder to a level area and zero the scale. Lift the
drill/planter/seeder up and down two to three times, checking to see if the scale zeros out. Each time the scale
is in the up position, it should be within four to six pounds.
If further assistance is necessary, please call Digi-Star, LLC at 920-563-9700.
***The example we are using is 2000 lbs of seed evenly filled in both hoppers. There is 25 lbs of seed left from
the last fill.
Push the “Start” button. The screen will show zero, and the arrow is now pointing to “Net” on the screen. This
is a temporary zero point to start loading the planter with seed. You will now fill 1000 lbs of seed into the left
hopper.
Push the “Stop” button, the readout now reads 1025 lbs of seed inventory.
Push the “Start” button again. The screen will say zero again. Load another 1000 lbs of seed into the right
side.
Now push “Stop” and the screen will read 2025 lbs of seed. The numbers will work lower as the seed is
planted.
