The far right indicator is blank or clear which means the GPS does not
have a lock on any satellites.
In this condition the GPS cannot determine the location, therefore Speed
cannot be determined.
The far right indicator is blue which means the GPS has a Lock on the
satellites.
In this condition the GPS can determine the location, and therefore
Speed can be determined.
The far right indicator is red which means the GPS has a WAAS Lock on
the satellites.
In this condition the GPS can determine the location, and therefore
Speed can be determined. The WAAS lock provides the GPS solution with
the highest accuracy.
The Internal GPS status is provided in the ICON located in the upper right corner of the
monitor display. This upper right corner area is described more fully in the MPH
INDICATOR section of the DM-4600 Operators Manual on page 15.
The GPS ICON indicates the Signal Strength and GPS Lock Status. The ICON is made up
of 5 bars, the left 4 bars indicate the Signal Strength and the tall bar on the far right
indicates the GPS Lock Status.
The Signal Strength is a measure of how many Satellites are being tracked by the GPS
sensor. The following table explains the 5 possible Signal Strength conditions:
The GPS Lock status is indicated by the color of the far right status bar. This status is truly
independent of the other 4 Satellite Strength status bars, however there is a correlation
between them. To establish a GPS lock the GPS sensor must be tracking several
satellites, to establish a GPS WAAS lock the GPS sensor typically requires even more
satellites. The following table provides the GPS Lock Status indicators with typical
Satellite Strengths:

OPERATOR’S MANUAL
FLOW METER INSTALLATION
A plumbing diagram for a typical system used on a planter for the pop up/side by side
fertilizer has been included. Starting with the product tank that is normally mounted on
the planter frame each of the components used in the system will be discussed
regarding their function and installation.
#1 Leading out of the tank a main shutoff valve should be in place to cut product flow
to the entire system.
#2 The next component on the diagram is a filter which is critical for keeping foreign
material out of the pumping system that would cause plugs or blockages to occur. It is
recommended for an application rate of 5 gallons per acre or less to use an 80 mesh
filter screen. Application rates higher than 5 gallons per acre can be applied with a 50
mesh screen filter. A finer screen is used at lower application rates to keep the small
flow meters from plugging. The filter should be placed before the pump to allow for
proper filtering of the fertilizer being applied.
#3 The pump is the next item in line after the filter. There are many types of pumps that
are commonly used for liquid fertilizer application. Piston, squeeze, hydraulic and 12V
DC type pumps have all been used with this system. All these pumps work well as long
as they are properly sized for the specific application rate that is being applied.
#4 After the pump a cleanout port is shown that would be used for rinsing out the
system after the season is over. It may also be used for rinsing if you are going to be out
of the field and will not be using the system for an extended period of time. The
cleanout port will also be useful in flushing out the system if blockages should occur due
to contamination problems in the fertilizer system. The clean out port consists of a valve
and a garden hose adapter for hooking up the rinsing system.
#5 Following the cleanout port is the distribution manifold followed by the individual row
flow meters. The flow meters can be grouped together after the manifold or distributed
on the bar individually closer to each opener.
#6 An optional bracket (Part No. 6675) is available for purchase that holds up to 8 flow
meters. This will help keep track of which flow meter is going to which row plus it helps in
making a neat, safe, and organized installation of the flow meters. Each precision flow
meter is made with 2 sizes of hose barbs on each end of the flow meter housing. These
barbs are ¼” and 3/8” which makes adapting to your planter plumbing system easy.
#7 After the flow meters a check valve/orifice plate assembly is recommended. A 2 psi
check valve works well for most systems. The lines will stay filled with liquid and leakage
on the ends will be prevented when the unit is raised. Properly sized orifice plates will
make the application rate accurate and consistent from row to row.
24
DM-4600
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
There are some important items to observe when getting ready to install the precision
flow meters in the system. On both the inlet and outlet end of the flow meter, there are
two different sized hose barbs. The smaller is designed to use ¼” ID hose, and the larger
barb closer to the center of the meter is designed to accept 3/8” ID hose. The first step
in installing the flow meters is determining which barb will work best to adapt to the size
and type of plumbing on the planter/applicator. The flow meters are supplied with two
2” pieces of ¼” tubing plus 2 clamps. The tubing is provided as a way to easily transition
to the existing plumbing. If the planter/applicator uses 3/8” hose in the system, you can
simply slide it on and clamp it to the flow meter on the larger barb.
Also available are flowmeters designed to use John Guest fittings. They are
manufactured with 3/8” push on fittings making any necessary maintenance very quick
and easy to do. The same specifications apply to the flowmeters using either type of
connections, the Hose Barb or John Guest fittings. To order the correct flowmeters, use
the part numbers on page 26 and include a HB or JG after the number, depending on
the style that you prefer.
Another important feature of the flow meter is a direction arrow showing how material
should flow through the meter. It is made into the housing on the opposite side of
where the cable goes into the meter. It is very critical that the flow meters are installed
following this direction of flow indicator. Inaccurate or inconsistent readings will occur if
they are installed backward.

Please note on the cable close to the harness connector the tag that shows the part
number for the flow meter you have. There are 5 different flow meters offered, and
they all look the same from the outside. Each precision flow meter has different
operating range so it is important that they be chosen correctly for your application.
Below is a chart showing the operating specifications of each flow meter.
Flow Meter Specifications:
The Precision Flow Meters can be installed anywhere between the distribution manifold
and the Check Valve/orifice assembly. The main things to take into consideration are
the safety and ease of access to the flow meters. The flow meter must be installed into
each row so the most logical place to mount the meters would be in a grouping close
to the output of the manifold. A bracket (P/N 6675) is available to hold 8 flow meters in
a 9” space. All the fertilizer lines can be ran neat & orderly from the manifold to the
flow meter and from the flow meter to the row. This will also make the wiring harness
less complex as the length of wire required to hook the flow meters up will not be very
long and all the connections will be in one location close to this grouping.
26
DM-4600
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
It is also recommend that once you have commenced planting and the lines and the
flow meters have been filled with fertilizer that they remain fully charged until finished
planting for the season. This will help insure that crusting/plugging does not occur and
that the flow meter turbine will remain free once planting begins again. This is the
reason we want the check valves installed in the system as this will insure the lines stay
fully charged once the pumping stops. If – for example planting is delayed due to rain
the check valves will insure that the lines remain fully charged and you will not be
required to flush out the system. PLEASE NOTE: One exception to this rule is if you have
micro nutrients mixed in with your fertilizer and the planter is going to be setting for more
than a couple of days flushing of the system is recommended as the ingredients may
settle and may cause problems once planting starts again. Once again if you have
made plans for flushing of the system and planting is delayed we would recommend,
you go ahead and flush the system to insure no problems will occur on startup.

MASTER FLOW
This Flow Sensor configuration would replace Nozzle flows Sensors on each Planter Row
with 1 Master Flow Sensor for 1 Product for the entire planter. A Master Flow Sensor can
be selected for Flow 1 and / or Flow 2. This Master Flow sensor is indicated with an Inline
sensor icon as seen in the following image.
To accommodate configuring of the Master Flow sensor a Implement Configuration
screen was developed. In this screen you can select Flow type for each flow setup.
The flow type would be the normal Per Row of the Master Flow sensor.
28
DM-4600
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
The Master Flow indicator on the Home screen represents the entire product applied to
the Implement and therefore will appear differently than normal Row based products.
The Display Assignments screen will also show the Master Flow Icon if selected.
Master Flow Meter calibration number is read in pulses per gallon. This calibration
number is typically displayed on the flow meter with a tag. Raven flow meters output in
pulses per 10 gallon, resulting in the calibration number needing converted Ex: 710/10 =
71 pulses per gallon.
Post Season Storage for the Monosem Visu-Flo Flow Meters
Within 2 to 3 days of finishing for the season we strongly recommend a total cleansing
of the system with water. You will need to clean and rinse the fertilizer residue out of the
system adequately so it will not cause issues on start up for the next season. The more
thorough job you do now will pay you dividends as the amount of fertilizer left in system
will cause potential sources for blockages next time the system is used.
Once you have rinsed the system clean you will need to winterize your system. It is
recommended that a good quality RV antifreeze rated to - 50 is utilized so that freezing
will not occur and cause major damage and avoidable expense to your system
components.
Simply run enough RV Antifreeze through your system to replace the water that was
used to rinse your system. Be extra conscientious to FLUSH any area that may trap the
water (low spots etc). Make sure you use enough RV Antifreeze to completely fill your
system components with the antifreeze.
