Introduction | Rev 0219.1
1.3 Installation
Your DM-4600 comes with a RAM 1 ½” Mounting Ball. Any RAM Mount 1 ½” fixtures will adapt to your
monitor.
Figure 1 Monitor Mounting
Install the RAM-238-U 1 ½” Ball supplied with your console by removing the two screws from the rear of
the unit and use them to attach the ball.
Any RAM configuration may be used to attach your console to a convenient location in your cab. If you
need a base mount, see the above for more options. See your local dealer for brackets and arms that
are available, or visit www.agdirectusa.com to purchase online.
1.4 Monitor and Power Connections (Harness 301104)
Route the power leads of the main harness to the battery. Allow some slack to tie the harness off to a
secure location in the cab to provide strain relief and for the protection of the harness.
The monitor operates on 12 VDC only. The red (Fused)
lead should be connected to the positive battery terminal
and the black lead should be connected to the negative
battery terminal.
There is a short two pin Deutsch connector at the monitor
end of the power cord. This is for connecting the
optional Visual Alarm Light (Part No. 301109)

1.5 DM-4600 Console Main Harness (Harness 301106)
Route the main harness to the rear of the tractor. Attach the connector to the bottom of the monitor
with a ¼” nut driver. Tie the harness securely in the cab as a strain relief.
The 647120 harness will attach to your planter or implement with a 37 pin AMP CPC style connector.
This connector is pinned to match standards used by Dickey-john, Agco, Kinze and many other
manufacturers. Be aware that Deere uses the same connector but uses a different wiring pattern. If
you are connecting to a Deere harness, you will need a 37D37J adapter for each harness available
online from www.agdirectusa.com.
If you are using an external speed source such as a radar or external GPS, connect it to the 4 pin AMP
connector on the bottom of the monitor. (Adapters are available for most common radar and GPS
connectors)
If you are using the internal GPS, attach the antenna to the coax connector on the back of the monitor.
Once your implement is connected, you are ready to operate your monitor.
1.6 Internal GPS
The DM-4600 comes with the onboard GPS enabled.

Quick Start | Rev 0219.1
2Quick Start
The Quick Start feature of the Monitor is a method that will step you through a complete setup of your
monitor. This feature will insure proper configuration while providing you with a good working
knowledge of the parameters that need to be set for your implement.
This Quick Start section will discuss typical implement configurations, for more in depth configurations
or implements with Accessory Sensors please reference the Optional Step Up section that immediately
follows the Quick Start.
This Quick Start section uses your monitors Setup Assistant feature to walk you through configuring your
monitor. In the Setup Assistant you will be provided a list of parameters that need to be entered. Once
you have entered the required information a GREEN “Exit Finish” Button will appear, you are then ready
to Exit the Quick Start.
2.1 Entering Setup Assistant
The Setup Assistant feature is automatically entered when you power up your monitor for the first time.
If you have to leave the Setup Assistant early, don’t worry when you return you will come back into the
Setup Assistant to finish configuring you implement. At any time there after, you can re-enter this mode
using the Navigation Buttons at the top of the monitor. By pressing the “Setup” navigation button, the
“Setup” button will change to the “Setup Assist”, by pressing this button again you will re-enter the
Setup Assistant feature.
2.2 Setup Assistant Features
When in the Setup Assistant the Normal Navigation Buttons will change to 3 Control Buttons (Exit,
Previous and Next Buttons). An Instruction Area to the right of the Control Buttons will instruct you on
the next required parameters that are required prior to you advancing to the next Page. On the left side
of the screen you will see a list of the “Required Parameters Remaining”, if this area is empty you will be
allowed to proceed. The items in the list are also highlighted in RED on the main area of each screen.
