Quick Setup Guide for IntelliAg Model NTA

The Quick Setup Guide assumes the Virtual Terminal, Working Set Master Module, Working Set Member Module, and all sensors

have been connected and properly installed. Quick Setup Guide assumes channel 1 (front bin) to be seed and channel 2 (rear

STEP 1: Pre-Programming Preparation:

Power on vehicle via ignition switch to activate Virtual Terminal (VT). Main menu will display pre-programmed default settings.

1. If errors are detected (e.g., failed sensors, incorrect conﬁ guration) an alarm and code will display. Alarms are silenced by pressing the Alarm Cancel button . Refer to Operator’s

2. manual for troubleshooting assistance. The system has three user levels. The system loads in user level 1 (operator level) at every power cycle. Access to user level 2 and 3 screens to setup constants (system conﬁ guration)

3. requires a password available through an authorized Great Plains dealer.

STEP 2: Change User Level to Dealer Level To change the user level, a 6-digit password is required. Password includes the ﬁ ve-digit

serial number found on the label of the working set master or Information screen.

On the IntelliAg Main Work screen, press the Diagnostics button .

1. At the Diagnostics screen, press the Information button

2. At the Information screen, record serial number of WSMT.

3. Press the Password button .

4. On the Password screen, enter the 6-digit password as follows: enter the ﬁ rst digit as 2 for

5. User Level 2. For the next ﬁ ve digits, enter the Working Set Master serial number taken from the WSMT or Information screen. Press the OK button . “Dealer screens on” appears at the bottom of screen conﬁ rming

6. the password and dealer screens are activated. Press the Work Screen button to return to the Main Work screen.

STEP 3: Auto Conﬁ guration (identiﬁ es sensors connected to each module) Auto conﬁ g is performed at the factory, but may need to be done in the ﬁ eld as changes are made to the system or if options are added to the base system.

Verify Auto Conﬁ g results are correct. Check that the correct number of rows are assigned to

the correct module and number of hoppers and pressure sensors are assigned accurately.

To Run Auto Conﬁ g:

Press Next Page until Module Conﬁ guration button appears.

Press Module Conﬁ guration button .

Press AUTO CONFIG button .

Hour glass will indicate system is detecting the presence of seed, pressure, or hopper

sensors connected to each module and automatically assigns to the appropriate module. When Auto Conﬁ g completes, press the Row Assign button to display the Row

Assignment screen to verify correct Row # is assigned to the correct module based on serial number. Enter # of rows assigned to each module.
