Troubleshoot SeedStar™ XPIMPORTANT: Remove system power before disconnecting sensor node harness. | Symptom | Problem | Solution | Gauge wheel load sensor circuit error. | Sensor node controller on the row(s) listed has detected an open circuit or short circuit in the gauge wheel load sensor circuit. | Check wiring harness and electrical connectors from gauge wheel load sensor to sensor node controller. See your John Deere™ dealer. |
Seed Singluation percentage low. | Meter not adjusted properly. | Refer to Rate Charts and Settings Manual. Confirm correct disk type and vacuum level for seed being used. Confirm brush type and meter hub adjustment. Confirm correct talc usage and mixing. Check and adjust double eliminator setting (if used). | | | Excessive ground speed. | Increase row unit down force first. If singulation does not improve, reduce ground speed. | | | Excessive row unit dynamics (bounce). | Increase row unit down force first. If singulation does not improve, reduce ground speed. | | | Erratic Driveline Operation. | Check meter driveline. Check chains, bearings, drillshaft bearings, drillshaft couplers for proper alignment, lubrication, and smooth operation. Refer to planter operator’s manual. | | | Alarm setpoint too high. | Reduce alarm setpoint. Factory default setting is 92 percent. Press and hold Singulation button for 4 seconds to go to Alarms and Limits Setup Screen. Enter "0" to turn singulation alarm off. |
Seed Spacing Coefficient of Variation (CV) percentage high. | Excessive ground speed. | Increase row unit down force first. If singulation does not improve, reduce ground speed. | | | Excessive row unit dynamics (bounce). | Increase row unit down force first. If singulation does not improve, reduce ground speed. | | | Erratic Driveline Operation. | Check meter driveline. Check chains, bearings, drillshaft bearings, drillshaft couplers for proper alignment, lubrication, and smooth operation. Refer to planter operator’s manual. | | | Meter not adjusted properly. | Refer to Rate Charts and Settings Manual. Confirm correct disk type and vacuum level for seed being used. Confirm brush type and meter hub adjustment. Confirm correct talc usage and mixing. Check and adjust double eliminator setting (if used). | | | Alarm setpoint too low. | Increase alarm setpoint. Factory default setting is 0.35. Press and hold Seed Spacing CV button for 4 seconds to go to Alarms and Limits Setup Screen. Enter "0" to turn Seed Spacing alarm off. |
Down force margin too low | Pneumatic down force setting exceeds frame or wing weight and cause planter frame to "float". | Reduce down force setting if possible. See your John Deere dealer for frame ballast options. | | | Target margin setpoint too high for planting conditions. | Reduce target margin setpoint. Navigate to: Menu >> Plante r>> Configuration Softkey >> Sensor Tab >> Down Force. |
