Installation & Configuration Guide for Harness 725599:

Summary: In order for 20/20 SeedSense Monitor to receive NMEA strings
from a third party GPS receiver, there are a few simple steps that must be
completed before signal will be transferred. Below are step by step
instructions detailing configurations and requirements for communicating
with our 20/20 SeedSense Monitor. Here are a few basic requirements for
the 20/20 SeedSense Monitor.
NMEA Strings: Set at 5 HTZ
- GGA: Time, position and fix type data.
- RMC: Time, date, position, course and speed data.
- VTG: Course and speed information relative to the ground.
Baud Rate: 19200 or 38400

Connecting 20/20 to Trimble FMX/FM 1000 with Nav II Controller

First step is to locate your Nav II controller in your cab. This is typically located behind your operator’s seat
or underneath. The Nav II behind the seat will typically be in behind a removable plate under the cargo
netting behind the operator’s seat.

Location of the NAV can vary from behind the seat in the panel (Case Magnum) to under the cab (CAT
challenger), to outside the back window (AGCO), left of the seat (Deere) and various other locations. The
harnesses pictured are only installed on AFTERMARKET installations. Factory installation of Accuguide on
Case vehicles have different harnesses than pictured. (May require the 725599, 727131, or a special round
connexal adapter to 725599 configurations)

The 725599 Harness connects to the 9 pin serial port (Laptop with LED Light flashing rapidly). To locate the
serial port on the Nav II first find the Deutsch connector on the Nav II (it is the small of the two plugging into
the Nav II). Then connect the Null 4 pin connector to the GPS connector on the 20/20.

Setup Tips/Troubleshooting

Problem: AutoPilot controllers (NAV2) output the GPS location of the rear axle, rather
than the GPS location of the antenna.

Solution: In this case, enter the “Forward” distance in the 20/20 as 0 (Setup / Systems
/ GPS / Tractor / Forward, C).

Models Included: This may apply to any of the following monitors: FMX, FM1000, FMD,
Insight, CFX 750, EZ-Guide 500, EZ-Guide Plus, DJ Inteli Ag, Pro600, Pro700. Any system
where the GPS signal comes from the NAV2. This does NOT include a system that is
pulling the GPS directly from the Receiver on the top of the cab.

Is my model affected?

To confirm if this applies to your system, a simple test can be completed.

1. Have your tractor parked outside, with the GPS receiver system and the 20/20
powered on, and the GPS connected between them.

2. View the GPS Communication page on the 20/20 (Setup / Systems / GPS / GPS
Communication).

3. Record this GPS location on a notepad.

4. Next, change the antenna to rear axle distance on your GPS receiver (Configuration /
AutoPilot / Calibrate / Roll Antenna Compensation / Antenna Distance from Fixed
Axle).

5. This can be changed from 0 ft. to 20 ft.

On our initial test, changing the GPS offset changed the coordinates displayed by about
0.00004. If changing this distance on the GPS receiver changes either the latitude or
longitude values on the 20/20, then your GPS is outputting the location of the rear
axle. Be sure to input the original values into your GPS before leaving this test.

Connecting 20/20 to StarFire

Connect the 727124 harness to the Starfire receiver outside the cab. If John
Deere is powering the Starfire do not connect the 2 pin Weather Pack
connection next to the 4 pin GPS connection. If John Deere is not powering
the receiver then connect the 2 pin Weather Pack to aux power on the Cab
Control Module or order 700242 Aux power harness.

 Locating the NAV II controller and installing harnessing

Step 1: Locate the NAV II controller box

inside the access panel behind the seat.
Remove all four wing nuts. (This location is
for Magnum Tractors) Other locations could
be 4WD under the “buddy seat” and
combines typically found under the armrest
or under the cab

Step 2: Slide the NAV II box off of the

threaded studs to expose the connectors on
its right side. There is a 12-pin Deutsch plug
labeled “Controller Diagnostics.”

 Troubleshooting GPS Measurements
Using an AutoPilot Controller with 20/20 SeedSense
Problem: AutoPilot controllers (NAV2) output the GPS location of the rear axle, rather
than the GPS location of the antenna.
Solution: In this case, enter the “Forward” distance in the 20/20 as 0 (Setup / Systems
/ GPS / Tractor / Forward, C)

Models Included: This may apply to any of the following monitors: FMX, FM1000,
FMD, Insight, CFX 750, EZ-Guide 500, EZ-Guide Plus, DJ Inteli Ag, Pro600, Pro700. Any
system where the GPS signal comes from the NAV2. This does NOT include a system
that is pulling the GPS directly from the Receiver on the top of the cab.
Is my model affected?
To confirm if this applies to your system, a simple test can be completed.

1. Have your tractor parked outside, with the GPS receiver system and the 20/20
powered on, and the GPS connected between them.
2. View the GPS Communication page on the 20/20 (Setup / Systems / GPS / GPS
Communication).
3. Record this GPS location on a notepad.
4. Next, change the antenna to rear axle distance on your GPS receiver
(Configuration / AutoPilot / Calibrate / Roll Antenna Compensation / Antenna
Distance from Fixed Axle).
5. This can be changed from 0 ft. to 20 ft.

On our initial test, changing the GPS offset changed the coordinates displayed by
about 0.00004. If changing this distance on the GPS receiver changes either the
latitude or longitude values on the 20/20, then your GPS is outputting the
location of the rear axle. Be sure to input the original values into your GPS
before leaving this test.

 Configuring a Trimble 372, 262, 252, & 162 through a Pro 600 / 700 or New
Holland IntelliView IV

Step 1: Connect the 727131 to an open Port A or B. If both ports are being
used, unplug the harness in Port B and plug the 727131 into Port B. Then
plug the harness that was in Port B into the open port on the 727131.

Only plug the 2 pin weather pack on the 727131 harness into power if the
receiver is not being powered by the OEM display.

EXCEPTION: When using a Trimble 162 Receiver configure Port A.

2
955453 3/15
Next we will look at visual images giving step by step instructions to
output NMEA messages from the Display:

Step 1: Click the Diagnostic button.

Step 2: Click the RDI button to access

the GPS configuration tool. If the
botton does not show up click the right
arrow to access the RDI button.

Step 3: Use the arrows in the middle of

the screen to navigate through screens,
the ESC to step back one level, and the
Enter to accept changes.

Press the down arrow once.

3
955453 3/15
Step 4: Press the right arrow until you
see the Configuration screen. Then
press the down arrow to enter.

Step 5: Push the right arrow until you

see the Port A or B or C Config Screen.
Then press the down arrow to select
which port you have the 727131
harness plugged into. If you have the
727131 plugged into Port B and the
harness that was in Port B into the
open port on the 727131 use Port C
Config.

Step 6: Click the right arrow to get an

active cursor, use right/left arrows to
move the cursor to different settings.
Move the cursor to the second line next
to 8N1 O TSIP and select TSIP. Use the
up and down arrows to select NMEA
then select baud rate at 38K.4 or 19K.2.
Once selected, press the enter button.

The correct setting

955453 3/15
Step 7: Click the down arrow to get to
the NMEA1 message selection screen
(Same process as above to navigate the
active cursor to the desired item and
change it).

Upper case messages are active, lower

case messages are inactive.

Make GGA active and press Enter.

Step 8: Click the down arrow to get to

the NMEA2 message selection screen
(Same process as previous step).

Make RMC and VTG active by changing

the text to upper case. Click Enter to
accept.

Step 9: Press the right arrow to get the

active cursor on the NMEA out timing.

It defaults to 1s (1Hz), with the active

cursor on the S, press the down arrow
until it changes to ASAP. If it does not
change press the right arrow once more
and then the down arrow.

Press Enter to accept changes. ASAP

allows 5Hz output.

955453 3/15
Step 10: Press the ESC button then the
back button.

Step 11: Press the Run button to return to

the main operating screen.

In certain instances we have found that the final step to NMEA output needs to be the
baud rate change. So in this case you would alter the other settings, but skip the baud
rate portion. At the end go back and input the baud rate to 38.4 or 19.2 hit Enter then
Exit.
