Great Plains YP1225A-1230 Quick Start

Quick Setup Guide for IntelliAg Model YP1225 30” Air Pro

The Quick Setup Guide assumes the Virtual Terminal, Master Switch, Working Set Master Module,
Working Set Member Module, and all sensors have been connected and properly installed. Refer­ence Operator’s manual for installation instructions. NOTE: The master switch is only required for

hydraulic control systems. Reference the manual for instructions to assign a master switch

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 displays. 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 gura-

3.

tion) requires a password.

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 rm-

6.

ing the password and dealer screens are activated.

Press the Work Screen button to return to the Main Work screen.

7.

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 planter.

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

1.

to the correct module and number of hopper sensors are assigned accurately.

To Run Auto Confi g:

Press the Next Page button until the Module Confi guration button appears.

1.
Press the Module Confi guration button .

2.
Press the AUTO CONFIG button .

3.
Hour glass will indicate system is being confi gured detecting the presence of seed or hopper

sensors connected to each module and will be automatically assigned 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.
