ROW-PRO DOWN PRESSURE SETUP
The IntelliAg system monitors and adjusts down pressure to ensure the
same amount of force is applied to each row unit to maintain consistent
seed depth placement. The operator sets the desired down pressure into
the IntelliAg virtual terminal and then sets the spring pressure above the
target down pressure.
NOTE: Row-Pro Down Pressure is a
limited automatic adjustment
that works in conjunction
with the down pressure
springs. It does not
independently control the full
range of down pressure.
NOTE: The Row-Pro system is only
compatible with Great Plains
planters.
Down pressure setup can only be accessed in User Level 2 or Level 3
mode.
REQUIREMENTS
The Down Pressure feature is an option available for use with the IntelliAg
system and requires the following components to operate:
• Down Pressure Module that interfaces with 2 load cells
• A maximum of 3 load cell modules can be connected
• Down pressure module harness
SETUP
Down Pressure setup is configured at the Module Configuration screen.
1. At the Main Work screen, press the Next Page button.
2. Press the Module Cfg button.
3. At the Module Configuration screen, press the DPress Set button.
4. At the Down Pressure Set screen, enter desired constants.

CONTROL MODE
Down pressure has two control modes:
• Automatic
• Manual
Automatic
When control mode is set to Automatic, down pressure adjusts
automatically during operation based on feedback sensor readings.
Manual
When control mode is set to Manual, down pressure operates at the set
pressure setting and will only change when pressure is adjusted by the
operator on the Main Work screen using the Increase/Decrease buttons.

only one increase/decrease value is entered.
Bar graph indicators on the Main Work screen identify the amount of force
applied in relation to the target set. In this mode, only one set of Increase/
Decrease buttons appear on the Main Work screen that will adjust the
percentage for both front and rear.

values must be entered at this screen. When disabled, two sets of
Increase/Decrease buttons appear on the Main Work screen that allows
adjustment of front and rear rates independently.

TARGET RATE
Target rate is the desired amount of down pressure (lbs). The system will
monitor and adjust pressure to meet the defined rate set at this screen.
INCREASE/DECREASE RATE
The increase/decrease rate establishes a set amount of pressure change
for each increase/decrease. This value is applied to the target rate while on
the Main Work screen. Refer to Front-Rear Linked description for linking
front/rear row units.

SENSITIVITY ADJUST
Sensitivity Adjust sets the response time of the control channel. Increasing
the adjustment above zero provides a quicker response time; decreasing
the adjustment to a negative number provides a slower response time.
Use caution when selecting a sensitivity adjustment. A rate set too
high could potentially cause equipment damage.
DISABLE DOWN PRESSURE MODULES
Modules interfacing with feedback sensors can be independently disabled
so that down pressure from disabled sensors do not display or are used in
adjustment calculations. Modules disabled are ignored by the system and
will not report down pressure data or react to soil conditions.
