Sections

Maximum Number of Sections by Configuration

The presence of an agitator valve or a flow return valve does not affect the section availability for 3-wire section valves.

For tiered boom applications, the display manages stacked boom sections as one section. So, a two-tiered configuration with 20 section valves is mapped with 10 sections.

The number of implement sections that sprayers and liquid fertilizer tools can control depends on:

• Section valve type
• Agitator valve
• Fence row nozzles (optional for pull-behind sprayers and self-propelled sprayers only)

Maximum number of sections for all other configurations depends on number of products being controlled.

Generation 4 Displays can control all five section groups, without deactivating section control.

When controlling five products on a GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display, section control must either be deactivated or limited to four section groups (two products share the same section group). This allows the John Deere Rate Controller 2000 to control all five products and product sections. If the fifth product is a spinner or fan, section control can operate five sections.

John Deere does not make a 47-pin NH3 harness that exceeds six sections. To exceed six sections, order a harness from a third-party company.

For replacing an existing GreenStar™ Rate Controller, the 47-pin to 37-pin GreenStar™ Rate Controller adapter harness allows up to eight sections.

If needed, manual operation allows additional sections to be turned on and off.

Valve Type: 3-Wire (Such as Raven, TEEJET®, KZCO™, and BANJO®)
Fence Row Valves, Agitator Valve, and Flow Return Valve	Maximum Number of Sections Available
None of the items listed above	16
All the items listed above	16

Valve Type: 2-Wire (Such as HARDI®)
Fence Row Valves, Agitator Valve, and Flow Return Valve	Maximum Number of Sections Available
None of the items listed above	7

The maximum number of sections in any column is split between the number of products in that column. For Example, if using an NH3 tool configuration and the profile is only set up for one product there is 10 sections available. If using two products, 14 sections are available between those two products.

The maximum number of sections is split between the number of products. Using an NH3 tool as an example, there are 10 sections available with 1 product. If a second product is added, there are 14 sections available between the 2 products.
