4 Safety Information Always wash your hands after working on or around agricultural equipment prior to eating, drinking, smoking, chewing, etc Always use the proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for any task. Examples include: Gloves when handling sharp or abrasive materials Eye protection when handling contents or systems under pressure (i.e. Hydraulic, Pneumatic, Water) Welding helmet, Welding gloves, and welders clothing when welding/torching Prior to working under or at ground level of any equipment secure the machinery from movement; accidental user operation or simple rolling of equipment. This should involve Lock-Out tags at the battery, removal of the Ignition key, Do Not Operate signs placed at key locations, as well as wheel chocks as necessary. When working on a vehicle or implement s hydraulic system, suspended components may suddenly drop. If you are working on or around the implement at this time serious injury could result. If possible lower the implement or attachment to the ground before beginning any work. Alternatively; use mechanical lock-up devices to secure any components in their lifted positions. Agricultural equipment may have been exposed to many types of chemicals. Any chemicals or residues should be removed from the planter prior to beginning work. Obey all existing (new & original) warning signs and caution labels on all equipment. When working on or around equipment that has been or is running many components may get extremely hot. To avoid injury &/or serious burns allow all equipment components to properly cool before working on or around them. Avoid wearing loose or ragged clothing or jewelry around equipment, with special attention to avoid moving parts. Route and secure all wires and connections to avoid crimping or damaging. This may result in unexpected shortages and shocks. Use extreme caution when working on pressurized systems (Air, Water, Oil). Relieve all pressure from a system before disconnecting lines, fittings, etc Use a cloth or other obstruction to divert possible spray when disconnecting hose connections, fittings, fill caps, breathers, etc. Always use gloves, NEVER use bare hands. To locate or check for leaks use cardboard, never your hand. Electrical components and devices may contain high voltages and should be kept dry and closed. There are no serviceable components in this unit. Do not open this display unit, the AirForce Module, Row Flow Module, or the Smart Connector. Opening of the covers should be done by, or with guidance from trained personnel /2014

5 System Requirements Power The 20/20 system uses both a switched power source and a constant unswitched power source. By using the constant source, the system will maintain power to save data and safely shut down if the ignition is suddenly shut off. By using the switched or keyed source, the 20/20 will turn itself off to keep from draining the battery if the system is left on after the ignition is shut off. If you are only supplying constant power, when you turn on the 20/20 you will only see a blank grey screen. If this happens, you have two options. One, you can correct the problem by fixing the switched power leg of the 12V receptacle, or two, you can move the terminal plug on the 20/20 tractor harness from the white to the red spade. By doing this, your 20/20 will no longer shut itself down automatically when you turn the ignition off, so, if you do not turn the 20/20 off, you risk draining your battery. The maximum load that DeltaForce will require is 1 amp per valve. Remember that there is a lift valve on the lift manifold, therefore there is 1 extra amp than the number of rows on the planter. Fuse Protection To protect the 20/20 from damage, always use a maximum of a 30 Amp fuse or circuit breaker on the power supply circuit. To protect the DeltaForce system from damage: Always ensure the integrity of the integrated 60 amp fuse at the tractor cable where connected to the battery in case of short or over-current. Ensure the integrity of the 40 amp fuses on the Power Distribution Module (PDM). Seed Tube Sensors In order to collect the accurate and precise data, 20/20 requires 3/4 Dickey John or John Deere three eyed sensors. The 1/2 sensors used on some older planters have only two eyes and do not provide consistent data /2014

6 Hydraulics Hose Sizes -6 (3/8 ) for supply and return hoses unless an alternator is installed. -8 (1/2 ) for supply hose if an alternator is installed. -6 (3/8 ) hose from lift manifold to frame sections. -6 (3/8 ) hose for case drain Installation of a -8 (3/8 ) for Supply and Return hoses is recommended even on planters that do not currently require an alternator to allow for easier installation in the future for any additional systems that might be added. Hydraulic Flow ¼ Gallon per Minute per row 6 Gallon per Minute for hydraulic alternator 2250 PSI at all times Hydraulic Supply Source Power Beyond Selectable Control Valve (SCV) with Power Beyond Return Dedicated SCV Tied in with hydraulic drive motors Frequently Asked Questions How much Down/Lift Pressure should I be running? That depends. The amount of Down/Lift pressure will vary greatly across soil types, tillage practices, soil moisture, row unit weight..and many other variables. DeltaForce will manage the pressure in the Down and Lift circuits in order to maintain as close to your specified DeltaForce target as possible. Why is my DeltaForce constantly disabled? The DeltaForce system will be disabled upon startup and will automatically disable itself anytime power or communication to the system is reset. The reason for disabling the DeltaForce system is due to controlling moving parts on the planter. It is a safety aspect of the system and cannot be bypassed /2014

7 What Control Mode should I run the DeltaForce in? The most common control mode utilized, and also the best setting to start with, will be the Standard Mode. Starting in the Standard setting, make a pass or two through the field to allow the system to acclimate itself to your individual planter. Once you are comfortable with the responsiveness of the system, feel free to experiment with the Light, Heavy, and Custom control modes. After any change, allow the system to move to the new settings, then verify and inspect the results. Repeat as necessary. Normal Operating Ranges: Lift Pressure Sensor on lift manifold Up to 3000 psi P port on lift manifold Up to 3000 psi R port on lift manifold Less than 100 psi L port on lift manifold psi * P port on cylinder Up to 3000 psi R port on cylinder Less than 100 psi L port on cylinder psi * Cylinder Pressure psi * o * Will only read when the system is activated. When the system is deactivated, should read less than 100 psi. What is required for DeltaForce to control to target? In order for DeltaForce to operate correctly the following conditions must be met: 1. Planter moving 2. Planter lowered 3. Master Plant switch on 4. DeltaForce enabled (DeltaForce Control Page) /2014
