INTRODUCTION
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The DICKEY-john PM200, PM200E, and PM250 Planter Monitors offer
features to monitor up to 12 seed or fertilizer rows and one frequency input
(shaft speed).
The monitors are compatible with DICKEY-john seed, flow, hopper level,
and speed sensors. Configuration data is stored in nonvolatile memory,
retaining information even when disconnected from power.
Several planting parameters can be monitored on the Operate Screen and
viewed in a large, easy-to-read format. Row monitoring readouts provide
constant feedback and can be viewed in a bar graph or symbol format.
