The electronic seed monitor system consists of (a) a console, which is mounted on the tractor; (b) seed tubes with
sensors, one of which is installed in each planter row unit; (c) a primary harness, which connects the console to the
planterharness;and(d)aplanterharness(junctionharnessand/orextensionharnesswhereapplicable),towhichthe
individual seed tube sensors connect.
The monitor is powered by the tractor battery (requires 12 volts DC).
Electronic seed monitor systems equipped with the optional distance sensor feature (requires KPM II console) use
eitheraradardistancesensorwhichismountedonthetractororamagnetic(pickup)distancesensorwhichisinstalled
on the planter drive.

TRACTOR COMPONENTS INSTALLATION IS364
STEP 1. Install console.
Installthe console on the tractor where it can be easily viewed and operated but not obstruct the operator's view. The
mountingbracketcanbeattachedtotheconsolewiththe mounting holes oriented up for overhead mounting or down
for dash mounting.
Using the U-shaped mounting bracket as a template, mark the location of the two bracket mounting holes. Drill two
9/32" diameter holes.

STEP 2. Connect power.
The monitor system operates on 12VDC only. The console power lead has a 3-terminal AMP CPC female connector
which can be connected to the convenience outlet provided in late model tractors.

KPM I Monitor System KPM II Monitor System Power Lead Adapter
Use the optional power lead adapter (GA7856) if a two wire connection is needed. Connect the “red” wire to the
positive(+) battery terminal and the “black” wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.Refer to thefollowing illustrations
for typical battery connections.
(MTR16a)
Ifyourtractor'sbatteryarrangementisdifferentthanshown orifthereisanyquestionastowheretoconnectthepower
lead, use a voltmeter to make sure you have from 11 volts to 14 volts across the “red” and “black” leads. On tractors
using two 12 volt batteries, make sure console power leads are connected directly to the grounded battery.
NOTE: Goodbatteryconnectionsareessentialforpropermonitoroperation.Makesureconnectionsareclean
and tight. If console is connected to 6 volts or condition of 12 volt battery is less than 10 volts, a continuous
audible alarm will sound and the display on the KPM II will be fragmented when the ON/OFF switch is
depressed.
NOTE: The battery, ignition and electrical system of the tractor must be in good working order.
Secure power lead with tie straps furnished with console. DO NOT route console power lead in close proximity to
existing battery cables.

STEP 3. Install radar distance sensor. (Applicable Only To KPM II With Radar Distance Sensor)
A. Install radar sensor onto mounting bracket using four 1/4"-20 x 1/2" cap screws and lock washers as shown below.
Be sure cut outs in bracket are facing away from the radar sensor.
(MTR33)
B. Install pipe bracket onto vehicle using two 3/8"-16 x 2" cap screws, lock washers and hex nuts. Prior to installation
of the pipe bracket onto the vehicle, read the following precautions and recommendations.
• Install the radar distance sensor approximately 2 feet above the ground.
• The radar distance sensor should be mounted facing rearward for more physical protection to the sensor.
• The radar distance sensor should not be mounted in close proximity to any major heat sources.
• The face of the radar distance sensor must have an unobstructed view of the ground.
• The radar distance sensor should be located where fluids do not drip directly on the unit.
• The mounting should offer a minimal amount of vibration potential. Excessive vibration may cause erroneous
MPH readings when the vehicle is stationary.
• The radar distance sensor must be mounted so it “sits on top” of the rubber vibration bushings. It should not be
mounted so it hangs from the rubber bushings.
C. Drill two holes in the mounting surface and install pipe bracket.
NOTE: Welding the bracket is not recommended in case the radar distance sensor needs to be relocated
due to vibration problems.
D. Installradarsensor/mountingbracketontopipebracketusingtwo3/8"U-bolts,flatwashers,lockwashersandhex
nuts. Tighten the U-bolts just enough so the radar sensor can still be tipped by hand.

E. With the tractor parked on a flat area, place a level so it is flush on the arrowed line on the radar sensor. Tip the
radarsensoruntilthebubbleonthelevelisbalancedatmid-linewhichwillplacethesensorata35 °angle.Tighten
the U-bolts to secure the radar sensor mounting bracket to the pipe bracket.
(MTR34) 05319808
F. Route the cable from the radar sensor to the proper location and secure with tie straps. Use care in routing cable
to avoid sources of heat or areas that may pinch or damage the cable.

ing Seed Tubes, Radar/Magnetic Distance Sensors And Shaft Rotation Sensors” in the Installation
Section.
NOTE:AnoptionalradarY-cableisavailablefromKINZE®RepairPartsforuseinconnectingtheradardistance
sensor for multiple functions. See Repair Parts Section.
NOTE: After installation of the radar distance sensor or any time the sensor is moved, the console must be
calibrated. See “KPM II Monitor, Programming Speed” in the Operation Section of this instruction.

Insertseed tube w/sensor intoplanter shank with the sensor lead towardthe planter toolbar. Position seed tube hook
over shank lower cross pin as shown at right. Replace upper clevis pin through holes on upper part of seed tube
assembly. Replace hair pin clip on clevis pin. Extend sensor lead toward planter toolbar. Secure sensor lead to row
unit with ties provided, allowing slack in lead for movement of parallel linkage.
NOTE: Be sure seed tube flap with foam gasket is

Installthe drill shaft rotation sensorsonto the support plates betweenthe parallel arms of theouter most row units on
each side of the planter as shown in the illustrations on pages 16 through 20 and 24 through 27.
NOTE: If the row units are equipped with frame mounted no till coulters, an additional support plate (left over
from frame mounted coulter installation) will have to be installed between the row units on each half of the
planter to allow installation of the drill shaft rotation sensors.
