CONSOLE HARNESS INSTALLATION
The J1 connector on the back of the console connects all input and output
®
signals to the Seed Manager
shown in (Figure 3).
Harness contains connectors for
• Ground speed sensor (digital)
• Ground speed sensor (reluctance)
• System power
• P1 and P2 Bus connectors. A secondary module harness is used to
connect to P1 and/or P2.

SE system,
Install the primary (J1) harness from the rear of the console to the tractor
hitch as follows:
1. Route the primary harness from J1 on the console rear to the rear of
the tractor, near the hitch. Route on the side of the tractor opposite the
alternator and spark plugs.
2. Locate the harness to prevent being pinched, cut, or stepped on and
secure it with wire ties.
3. Install or connect an existing ground speed sensor. The ground speed
sensor may be one of three types – radar, reluctance, or Hall Effect. A
radar sensor or reluctance sensor connects directly to the designated
connector on the primary harness. A Hall Effect sensor may require an
adapter harness to connect to the primary harness. Sensor mounting
instructions accompany the sensor. Select the mounting location and
install as the instructions describe.
4. Refer to Implement Harness instructions on page 9 to install Module
and Sensor Harnessing.
Power connections should be made last to avoid accidental shorts
during harness installation.
POWER CONNECTION
The Seed Manager® SE System operates on 12 volts DC only. The battery
connections on the primary harness consist of two wires, each terminated
with a ring terminal.
Before making the battery connections, determine the tractor battery
arrangement from Figures 4, 5, and 6.
After the 12 volt source is known:
1. Connect the black wire directly to the negative (-) terminal of the
battery.
2. Connect the red wire (containing the fuse link) to the positive (+)
battery terminal.
3. Ensure the connections are clean and tight. Do not route these wires
in close proximity to the existing battery cables.
4. Secure the battery wires with wire ties.
Seed Manager SE®
11001-1359A-200810
If the tractor battery arrangement differs from that shown or if any
doubt exists about how to connect to the battery, use a volt meter
first. Verify 11 to 14 volts across the battery connection points. On
tractors using two batteries, be sure to make connections to the
grounded battery.

OPERATOR’S MANUAL
IMPLEMENT HARNESS/MODULE CONNECTION
The Seed Manager® SE System uses any combination of three basic
module types each with specific harness configurations.
Module Types:
• 12 Row Material Flow
• 16 Row Material Flow
•Shaft Speed
The following requirements must be observed when connecting
modules to the bus:
• A maximum of six Material Flow Modules can be connected to the bus.
• Only one Shaft Speed Module can be connected to the bus.
• The Shaft Speed Module can be connected anywhere on the bus that
is convenient and can be connected to either P1 or P2.
• A maximum of three Material Flow Modules can be connected to P1 or
P2.
• Any combination of 12 Row or 16 Row Material Flow Modules can be
used.
MODULE ORDER
IMPORTANT: The order in which Material Flow Modules are connected
and their position on the toolbar or implement is
important. The Material Flow Modules are identified by
the console as b1, b2, ...bn (where n is the total number
of Material Flow Modules connected). The order in
which the console identifies the modules depend on
how they are connected to the bus. Refer to (Figure 10)
that shows example system configuration setups.
A single Bus cable connects to each module then serially (daisy chains)
connects to following modules. The primary harness divides into two halves
at the implement hitch (P1 and P2).
MODULE INSTALLATION
1. Select an area on the implement to mount the member that allows for
easy hookup and access. Extensions can be used to reach members
installed on remote areas of the implement.
Do not install the module in any orientation other than illustrated
in (Figure 7). The connection wires must NOT be mounted upward
as moisture can collect inside the unit and damage the circuits.
Ensure that module connectors do not face upward in a folded
position as well.

2. Mount with the label side of the module facing out.
3. To bolt the member to a frame:
• Use the enclosure as a template to mark the location of the mounting
holes.
• Drill two 9/32 inch diameter holes where marked.
• Attach to frame using 1/4 x 20 bolts or other fastening devices as
illustrated in (Figure 8).
Do not use the enclosure as a guide when drilling. Do not
overtighten nuts as this may damage the mounting tabs on the
enclosure.

CONNECTING SENSORS TO MODULES
IMPORTANT: When connecting sensors to the Material Flow Modules,
all seed sensors installed on a Material Flow Module
must be connected sequentially starting with Row 1 as
shown below.
When correctly connected, row 1 sensor should be connected to the Row 1
input on b1. The monitor will then number the sensors from 1 to n starting
on b1, then b2, and so on.

HOPPER LEVEL SENSORS
Hopper level sensors can be connected to 12 Row Material Flow Modules.
Hopper sensors can be connected to either of the hopper inputs on a
Material Flow Module. The monitor will identify the number of hopper
sensors connected to each Material Flow Module and will number them
from 1 to n starting with any sensors connected to b1. If no sensors are
connected to b1, the number starts from b2 and so on.
In the event that two hopper sensors are connected to a given module, the
sensor connected to input 1 is numbered before the sensor connected to
input 2. The following shows an example configuration with hopper sensors
connected and how they would be identified by the console.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP / 15
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
When hopper level sensors are connected to a Shaft Speed Module, they
are numbered relative to the position of the Shaft Speed Module on the bus.
If the Shaft Speed Module is connected to the RS-485 out of b1, the
numbering of the hopper sensors starts with this module, then continues
with any hopper sensors connected to b1, b2, etc. If the Shaft Speed
Module is connected between Material Flow Modules, any hopper sensors
connected are numbered in the order in which they are detected as shown
below.

NOTE: Shaft, fan, and pressure
sensors can only be connected
to the Shaft Speed Module.
These sensors are identified by
the monitor according to what
input they are connected to
regardless of the position of the
Shaft Speed Module on the
bus. (Figure 15) shows a
complete example of a system
setup and how each connected
sensor would be identified.
