  • Page 5: Legal Statements & Safety Warnings

    Precision Planting is not liable for any failures to the system or planting loss due to decisions made from the information presented on the 20/20 SeedSense.

  • Page 6: System Requirements

    System Requirements Power Supply 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.

  • Page 7: Quick Start Quide

    Quick Start Guide Step 1: Cab Installation Begin installing your 2020 SeedSense by mounting the display unit in the cab. Next, connect the display unit to the tractor cable and the tractor cable to power. Now connect the GPS receiver to the tractor cable and mount the GPS receiver to the cab roof. Run the tractor cable out the back of the tractor down to the planter hitch.
