KPM I Monitor Operation
ExAMPLE: System is setup to display rear/front
sections. Press SELECT key. FRONT icon flashes
and REAR section displays on the bar graph. After
1 minute FRONT icon stops flashing. The monitor
stays in REAR only display through power down
and power up. Each time the monitor is turned on
while in REAR only mode, FRONT icon flashes
for 1 minute. If seed flow is sensed in the FRONT
section while planting, FRONT icon resumes
flashing.
STEP 2 Press SELECT key again to activate both
sections.
ExAMPLE: Press SELECT key a second
time. Information about each section
displays alternately every 5 seconds.
For simple applications, where only one section is
programmed, the display automatically locks on that
section. Pressing SELECT key has no affect.
NOTE: when alternating between two sections, the
display will lock on the section containing the first
recognized alarm until the alarm is acknowledged
by pressing the OK key or the alarm condition is
removed.
CHANGING AUDIBLE ALARM VOLUME
STEP 1 Press and hold down the VOLUME key.
STEP 2 SETUP and VOLUME icons turn on and
alarm sounds continuously. Sound intensity
changes every 2 seconds. After maximum
volume is reached, the next change sets
the volume to minimum and continues to
get louder every 2 seconds. When desired
volume is reached, release the key.
wARNINGS AND ALARMS
1. System Alarms - A system alarm is activated
when the monitor detects a faulty sensor or one
of several other communication faults.
The corresponding row number starts flashing
and the alarm sounds. All segments on the
corresponding bar graph are turned off. Pushing
the OK key to acknowledge the warning turns
audible alarm off. The row number continues to
flash until the alarm condition is removed. If the
monitor detects a faulty sensor and there is no
planting activity present, the monitor will scroll
“CHECK CONNECTION”.
Another type of system alarm occurs when the
monitor detects a data communication bus error.
Three data communication bus errors are:
LCD Display Error Condition
SYS HI Data communication lead
(green) is shorted to the
power lead (white).
SYS LO Data communication lead
(green) is shorted to the
ground lead (black).
SYS EC An internal error has been
detected.
2. Under Flow Alarms - If seed rate for one or
more rows is less than 55% of the calculated
average, the corresponding 60% segment stays
on, the corresponding row number starts flashing
and the alarm sounds. Pushing the OK key to
acknowledge the alarm will turn the alarm off. The
60% segment of the bar graph remains on and
the row number continues to flash until the alarm
condition is corrected.
NOTE: All alarms present within a short time
before planting stops, are frozen on the screen
and the text LOw or FAIL displays. If the under
flow is between 0% and 10%, this warrants a
“FAIL” condition. If the under flow is between
10% and 55%, a “LOw” condition is generated. If
multiple rows have an under flow condition, “FAIL”
displays if any one or more rows is between 0%
and 10%. This allows the user to identify and fix
problem rows.
