VM-5500 Operator’s Manual
Rev 0418.1 | Introduction
1.5 VM-5500 Console Main Harness (Harness 647117)
Route the main harness to the rear of the tractor. Attach the connector to the bottom of the monitor
with a ¼” nut driver. Tie the harness securely in the cab as a strain relief.
The 647117 harness will attach to your planter or implement with a 37 pin AMP CPC style connector.
This connector is pinned to match standards used by Dickey-john, Agco, Kinze and many other
manufacturers. Be aware that Deere uses the same connector but uses a different wiring pattern. If
you are connecting to a Deere harness, you will need a 37D37J adapter for each harness available
online from www.agdirectusa.com.
If you are using an external speed source such as a radar or external GPS, connect it to the 4 pin AMP
connector on the bottom of the monitor. (Adapters are available for most common radar and GPS
connectors)
If you are using the internal GPS, attach the antenna to the coax connector on the back of the monitor.
Once your implement is connected, you are ready to operate your monitor.
1.6 Internal GPS
The VM-5500 can be purchased with the optional onboard GPS enabled, or it may be enabled by the
customer upon the purchase of a valid license.
The License may be obtained from your Vanguard dealer or by contacting our customer service
department. Once the transaction is complete, you will be provided with a license code to install on a
USB flash drive. Upon insertion into the USB port of the monitor, the license will install and enable the
onboard GPS.
