Singulated Seed Planting with the DrillMaster
Seed Meter Test Process
(Using CAL TEST function)
This procedure is used prior to field operation. These steps will verify the DrillMaster and your seed
meter dispenses the correct number of seeds.
Preparation
1. Fill planter with enough seed to fill meter.
2. Position catch container under each seed tube.
Enter Calibration Mode
(switch controller to hold and press the “CAL” button until the red light is solid).
1. Turn Rotary Position Switch to “Cal Test”, “Off” appears in the display, press “+” to activate the
Calibration Test mode. .150 appears in the display to dispense a 150 seed sample. To set sample
size, see singulated seed calibration.
2. Turn rotary position switch to “Test Speed”.
3. Use “+” to enter normal operating speed.
4. Turn rotary position switch back to “Cal Test”.
5. Switch from the hold to the run position and turn all sections on. The “Cal Test” will begin. The
display will count up the measured sample size and automatically turn off at 150 seeds.
6. Count the seeds to verify proper operation and calibration.
7. Press and hold “CAL” until red light is off to exit calibration.
If the proper number of seeds is not dispensed:
1. Check “Meter Cal”.
2. Is the meter drive shaft speed sensor properly aimed at 60 tooth target (1/16 - 1/8" clearance).
3. Is meter and vacuum level adjusted properly.

2. Turn on all Section switches located on the top of the DrillMaster controller.
3. Push AUTO/MAN button until AUTO is displayed on DrillMaster display screen.
4. Switch RUN/HOLD toggle switch to RUN.
5. DrillMaster controller and planter hydraulic drive should now be ready for AUTO field operation.
Planter should now operate only when planter is down and tractor is moving.
