INTRODUCTION AND COMPANY PROFILE
ABOUT US
Welcome to the Ag Leader Technology family. Ag Leader Technology, Inc. is the global leader in yield
monitor and precision farming systems and is committed to meeting the present and future needs of the
agriculture industry by providing high quality products and first class customer support.
INNOVATION
Ag Leader Technology manufactures and sells products which support a wide array of precision farming
practices. These include grain and cotton yield monitoring, application rate control and monitoring,
variable rate fertilizer application, site-verification, GPS guidance and interface to Autosteer
technologies.
COMPATIBILITY
Ag Leader Technology offers compatibility and supports integration of many different types and brands
of equipment used for precision farming. The latest equipment available is supported as well as older
series of combines, planters, sprayers, tillage equipment, etc.
QUALITY AND SUPPORT
Ag Leader Technology continues to provide the best customer support in the industry. Precision farming
doesn't come without questions. Ag Leader is committed to providing the most responsive,
knowledgeable and friendly technical support available. Our technical support team is available seven-
days-a-week during peak seasons to answer your questions on the operation of Ag Leader products.
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Feel free to call and discuss:
• Operational questions about the display
• Features you would like to see implemented to improve the system or features you would like to see
added to the system to increase functionality
ABOUT THE DISPLAY
This display provides an entry-level precision farming solution to meet the year round needs of today’s
precision farming operation. It combines a greater level of simplicity with SeedCommand™,
DirectCommand™ and yield monitoring capabilities to meet the year-round needs of today’s precision
farming operation.

2
The display is a GPS-compatible universal monitor/controller for use in crop production and protection. It
can easily be transferred between multiple vehicles through out the growing season to maximize your
return on investment cost.
The display features a 6.5-inch color touchscreen in which users will find a greater level of simplicity
combined with SeedCommand, DirectCommand and yield monitoring capabilities. The display is ideal
for operations just getting started in precision farming, but also fits operations requiring multiple displays.
Support for the AutoSwath feature makes the display a great investment for any operation looking for an
easy-to-use, input-cost saving solution.
The display has its own internal memory for recording GPS and logging all information collected during
various field activities. No external data card is needed for in-field data collection.
The display has been built to withstand the harsh environment associated with today's agricultural
industry. The weather-tight enclosure is designed to seal out any dirt and moisture that is encountered
during normal operating conditions.
Note: The card door slot must be fully closed for the display to remain weather-tight.
SERVICE
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the display. Ag Leader Technical Support ph: [phone]
fax: [phone]
e-mail: [email protected]
CAUTION: This display has an internal lithium coin cell battery and an internal nickel metal hydride battery.
There is a risk of explosion if either battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries
according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
SYSTEM USES
• Grain yield monitoring
• Variety logging
• Liquid spray system control
• NH3 application control
• Granular and liquid fertilizer application
• Mapping tillage operations
• Mapping and logging product application
• Mapping of all field boundaries, sub-boundaries, waterways and terraces
SYSTEM FEATURES
• 6.5" color display
• Sunlight-readable screen
• Large internal memory
• Rugged sealed enclosure

3
GENERAL
• Compatible with most NMEA GPS receivers
• DirectCommand product control using industry standard CAN-bus interface
• Adjustable volume control
DATA CARD USAGE
The display uses a compact flash card for transferring data in and out of the display. The system is
compatible with all current card sizes; 64 MB is the minimum recommended size for use with the system.
COLOR TOUCH SCREEN
The display features a 6.5-inch color touch screen display. The touch screen allows easy and intuitive
navigation through the screens on the display without the need for any external keypad or mouse
devices. Here are a few key things to remember if you are new to using a touch screen device.
• Do not use any sharp objects for running the touch screen device, this could result in damage to the
display. Using the tip of a finger is the recommended method of operating the display touch screen.
• Do not use any harsh chemicals to clean the touch screen. Using a damp soft cloth or an anti-static wipe
made specifically for cleaning computer displays is the correct way to clean the screen and the display
enclosure.
• The touch screen requires only a gentle touch of about half-second in duration to operate correctly. A
common mistake new users make is to try to navigate too quickly through the system using firm taps
instead of gentle presses on the display screen.
CAN-BUS TECHNOLOGY
The display uses Controller Area Network (CAN) technology. CAN systems are comprised of individual
modules, each with their own high speed processor, connected through a high-speed communications
cable. CAN has many benefits, including greater ability to configure and expand the system,
compatibility, simpler installs with less wiring, and increased system dependability.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Do not exceed the specifications below:
• Storage Temperature: -30°C to +70°C.
• Operating Temperature: -10°C to +65°C
• Operating Input Voltage: 9 –16 V DC
CAUTION: Exceeding these specifications may result in degraded operation and/or damage to the display.
SYSTEM UPGRADES
Ag Leader Technology will periodically provide operating program updates that will improve the
performance of your display. Required software updates will be available free of charge for download
from www.agleader.com. On occasion, major releases will be made available that have significant product
feature additions or enhancements. These optional software updates may have an additional fee
associated with them.
