Before You Start
Compatibility
Refer to Figure 2
1. Check that linear actuators are not already installed
on the cart or integrated air drill. Variable Rate is a
feature that can be factory-installed.
2. Check the model number of the air cart or air drill to
ensure it is a compatible model. For example, this
kit is not compatible with the gearboxes used on
ADC1150, ADC2220 or ADC2250 air carts, nor
NTA1000, NTA1300 or NTA2000 integrated air drills.

Pre-Assembly Preparation
Tools Required
• suitable tractor for positioning and operating the air
drill or cart
• the seed monitor console to be used with this implement (or a 2008 or later DICKEY-john® IntelliAG
10in LCD console)
• basic hand tools, including (for older ADC2350/B
only), a drill with bit size:
1
⁄4in (0.250in), letter size E, or 6.3mm
®
Prepare Drill
The mechanical installation may be performed on a disconnected air cart, but software update (if required), and
testing/configuration of the system require the complete
air drill, and an IntelliAG® virtual terminal.
Work Location
5. Move the air cart or air drill to a location with:
• room to fold it (NTA607/2007HD and NTA907/
3007HD only);
• access to tractor or hydraulic power;
• access to DICKEY-john® IntelliAG® console and
12Vdc power;
• adequate illumination; and,
• clear surface beneath for recovery of any falling
or dropped parts - if the surface is not clear, have
a tarp or drop cloth available.
6. NTA607/2007HD and NTA907/3007HD only:
Fold drill. Lower openers. This eases access to the
meters.
7. Shut off tractor or hydraulic source.

Update Monitor Software
For models NTA607HD, NTA907HD, NTA2007HD or
NTA3007HD, continue at step 18 on page 5.
This step is performed first in the unlikely event that there
is any incompatibility between your IntelliAG® virtual terminal, and the latest version of the Air Cart Control software supplied in the kit.
If you are unable to update the seed monitor system, do
not continue the update. Have your Great Plains dealer
contact the factory for assistance.
Refer to Figure 3
8. Check the seed monitor Software Version per the
1
11001-1507 guide. If the Software Versiona is:
4.21 or higher,
you do not need to update the seed monitor software. If no update is required, continue at step 18
on page 5.
9. If you require a software update, and the SD card is
missing from the kit, contact Great Plains to obtain
the update.
10. Select from the kit one new:
38
11001-1507 ACC V4 SOFTWARE REPROGRAMMING
This is a DICKEY-john® manual describing the process of updating the software for the virtual terminal
(if needed) and the WSMT (if needed).
11. Follow the instructions in the reprogramming
manual to check the VT part number (on back of
38
terminal) and the software version of your seed
monitor (icon ).
2
12. Record Current Configuration
Monitor configuration may reset to defaults during
update. If either VT or WSMT will be updated,
record the current air drill configuration, particularly
the Material Library. Although newer virtual terminals support exporting the configuration to a blank
SD card, Great Plains recommends making a paper
record, as an imported SD configuration may be
altered during Auto Config at step 79.
13. Select from the kit one new:
37
INTELLI-AG SOFTWARE UPDATE SDC
This is a small Secure Digital (SD) flash memory
card. When instructed, the card is inserted in a
37
slot at the lower right corner of the VT bezel, behind
a flip-up door .

The new software introduces user access levels,
and requires a password, described in the Password Access manual .
15. Follow the instructions in the reprogramming
manual . Software is already provided on a formatted SD card, so perform no steps calling for:
- media formatting or
- extranet downloading.
16. The new variable rate controller is not yet installed,
and will not be detected by the new software. After
installing the new hardware, a complete Setup/Configuration is performed starting on page 15 of these
instructions.
17. Shut down the monitor. Shut off the tractor ignition
(to assure that monitor circuits are powered off).

Prepare Meters
Refer to Figure 4
18. At a variable rate gearbox, remove the:
52
805-032C PIN HAIR COTTER .148 WIRE
then use the existing control crank actuator to set
the indicator to 0 on the 0-100 scale. This prevents
the jackscrew from obscuring the scale.

51
Adjust the final crank handle position to fully down,
and re-insert the cotter pin .
19. Remove and save the:
51
805-065C PIN WIRE RETAINING 1/4 X 1 3/4
This pin is re-used at step 41 to couple the new control arm to the gearbox control shaft.
Note: Removing this pin de-couples the gearbox control
shaft from the manual adjustment system. If it is
ever necessary to revert to manual control, move
the pin back to the manual arm.
20. Repeat step 18 and step 19 for the other meter.

Prepare ADC Driver Mounts
If your implement is an NTA607HD, NTA907HD,
NTA2007HD or NTA3007HD, continue at step 24 on
page 7.
On older ADC2350/B carts, the mounting holes for the
actuator driver modules may not be present, and must be
drilled. Newer ADC2350 carts, all NTA607/2007HD and
all NTA3007/907HD drills have holes present.
Refer to Figure 5
21. Locate the mounting holes on the ADC2350/B air
cart. These are 0.28x0.38in (7.1x95mm) slotted
holes 5.84in (14.8cm) apart.

ACC Re-Configuration
Before first use, the new master switch and actuator outputs must be configured into the seed monitor system.
Depending on VT part number and previous software
revision, it may also be necessary to re-load basic air drill
parameters, and your local Materials Library.
Follow the instructions in the new IntelliAG® Aircart Control Operator’s Manual. The instructions below in this
manual are an overview of the sequence, and provide
cross-reference to information sources if you do not have
a complete record of the previous drill configuration.
Initial Power-Up Steps
73. Check language and units preference.
74. Check/set date and time.
75. Perform an
Auxiliary Input/Function Assignment
This detects and assigns the new master switch.
76. If ON, set the new master switch to
OFF
(necessary to enter Configuration mode).
Load Drill Parameters
77. Enter System Mode:
Setup/Configuration
78. If the setup was lost during software update (or has
never been loaded), perform a
Module Configuration.
79. If you run an “Auto Config”, check the module
assignments against any record from step 12.
The new actuators are automatically detected by the
WSMT, and are not separately enumerated. When
present and connected, they enable the
“GRAN SEED/FERT CONTROL” modes hidden for
crank-adjusted drills.
29515
Update Material Library
In order to correlate actuator output with desired seed
rate (meter shaft rate), the system requires a Calibration
Constant for each material to be used.
If you already had a material library, re-load it from an SD
card or via the menus. Otherwise revise a default material name as the first Control setup.
• The example at right shows sample materials:
Wheat HRW, renamed from SEED 1
and
11-52-0 renamed from FERT 1
to be used for the first Control setup.

CH1 Wheat HRW
CH2 11-52-0
CH3 DISABLED
CH4 DISABLED
Wheat HRW 11-52-0
SEED 2 FERT 2
SEED 3 FERT 3

Create a Controlled Material
Re-define at least one material. Otherwise, create at
least one material. Some key steps:
80. Type must be set to GRAN SEED CONTROL or
GRAN FERT CONTROL.
81. Select or Disable: Preset Method
If using preset method, select initial rate increments
that are only a few percent, so as to have fine control of the meter scale indicator. These can be
changed to coarser increments after calibration.
82. Density must be accurately entered.
83. Enter the Cal Const if one is available for your seed
type. This value does not affect the calibration process, and is replaced during calibration, but is useful for comparison. The calibration constant
developed during calibration should be similar to the
chart number.
84. Set Variable Cal Const if one is available for your
seed. This is from a list of names pre-programmed
into the monitor software. It is usually not the same
name as the material name setup on page 15. In
this example, “Wheat 2S”, the “2S” refers to the
(factory standard) “2 star” meter flute configuration.
Pick a seed constant closest to yours in terms of
physical seed characteristics and meter flute configuration.
If a suitable Variable Cal Const is available, the system can more accurately compensate for manual
calibration cranking speeds that differ from field
rate.
If no suitable Variable Cal Const is available, crank
at an rpm near field speed at step 92.

Calibrate
Calibrate Speed Sensor
88. Perform a Calibrate Ground Speed.
Calibrate Material
Perform a calibration. The procedure is similar to that for
crank-set operations.
89. Consult the Seed Rate manual (167-085B) for (the
approximate) manually-set rate for your material.
90. Check that final Range gear pairing is the same on:
• the chart,
• the meter, and
• the Meter gear Range in the Channel Setup.
91. Enter the calibration screen.
At this time, the linear actuator becomes active. The
scale indicator moves to approximately mid-scale,
then stops.
Pointing to a specific value is not required, but
needs to be in the range 30° to 95°. Great Plains
recommends using a scale setting that is close to
your expected target rate.

Use the Inc+/Dec- softkeys on the monitor console
to adjust the indicator to the target rate, or at least to
within the 30°-95° range.
92. Manually crank the meter for at least the number of
turns shown in the instruction of the Seed Rate
Manual for1⁄10ha or1⁄10ac.
The exact number of revolutions, cranking rateb,
and precise starting and stopping handle angles are
not critical, as the system reads meter revolutions
accurately, and can compensate for shaft speed,
seed size and partial turns.
What matters is getting a large sample, to reduce
errors and increase confidence in the calibration.
Note: By calibrating at the target rate, and for1⁄10ha, you
establish a comfort level that the drill is set up correctly, in particular, that you are in the correct gear
Range for the desired application rate.
93. Weigh the dispensed material and enter it in the
menu. The monitor computes a Calibration Constant for this material. Save this result.
Example:
ADC2350B cart and NTA3510 drill
Wheat, 2-star meter, single seed hopper in use
High Range at gearbox
Target rate of 133 kg/ha would be a scale setting of:
50° (from Seed Rate manual charts)
A sample size of1⁄10ha requires crank:
77 turns (from Seed Rate manual instructions)
b. If no “Variable Cal Const” was selected at step 84, crank at for most accurate results:
ADC2350/B, NTA907/3007HD: 2 to 2
NTA607/2007HD: 1 to 1

Cart/Drill Operation
The air drill previously operated in
“GRAN SEED MONITOR” and/or
“GRAN FERT MONITOR” modes.
With the linear actuators now installed and operating,
you will normally operate in
“GRAN SEED CONTROL” and/or
“GRAN FERT CONTROL” mode.
If it is necessary to revert to manual meter setting, move
the pin from the linear actuator arm back to the crankdriven arm.
Cart/Drill Maintenance
This update causes no changes to drill maintenance.
