1. About Engage Zone Control
Engage Zone Control is a retrofit section control system for John Deere 1910 air carts using
John Deere 2630 displays. The system communicates with an air seeder's existing GPS
mapping system and prevents overlap by opening and closing up to eight sections per toolbar.
2. Connecting the System to the 2630
IMPORTANT:If power is disconnected from the 2630, disconnect and reconnect power to the
gateway.
Engage Zone Control must be activated and enabled in the IAS VT application in order to
enable zone control. Section Control must be activated and enabled on the 2630 in order to
properly operate Engage Zone Control. If you don't have section control activated on your 2630,
contact your dealer.
To enable Engage Zone Control, complete the steps below.
1. Tap in the lower right corner of the 2630 screen.
2. Tap Intelligent Ag.
3. Tap Configure.
4. Tap Settings.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the screen. Make sure that the Enabled box next to Engage
Zone Control is checked.

IMPORTANT: To modify Documentation settings after initial configuration, you must
disable Zone Control in the Gates page. Refer to Section 5.3 for instructions to navigate
to the Gates page, then uncheck Zone Control Enabled.
Unchecking this disables the control and mapping of the system. Only uncheck this if
you want to change documentation settings in the 2630. Re-check it if you want to use
mapping and section control again.
