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

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.
1. Remove the refuge hopper leg and bolt
in the new scale leg.
2. Use the 3/4” X 5” bolts to hold weigh bar
in place.
3. Bolt the top bracket to the frame with
the 18” x 9-1/2” U-Bolt.
Note:
arrow, located on the end of the load cell,
must be pointing
It is important that the load cell
upward.
The indicator can also be mounted to the railing in
between the hopper. Then it can be turned to face
backward while filling the hoppers, and turned
forward for observation from the cab while
planting.

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 as shown above. 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. Strip wires back 7/16”.
3. Insert individual wires into terminal.
4. Close lever.
5. Tug wire to assure solid connection.

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 1790 New Style
Series, and set-up #145035 and calibration #32890 for the John Deere 1790 New Style Series with

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.

Trouble Shooting
TROUBLE SHOOTING
How to Check the Planter 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.
