KPM II Monitor Operation
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
audible alarm sounds. All segments on the corresponding
bargraph are turned off. Pushing the OK key to acknowledge
the warning will turn the alarm off. The row number will
continue 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”.
If the distance sensor is detected as faulty, the monitor
displays “PICKUP” or “RADAR”, depending on type of
sensor installed, and the audible alarm sounds. The user
can push the OK key to acknowledge the alarm. When the
distance sensor is faulty, the monitor changes to a bargraph
only mode where rows are still displayed relative to each
other. No area related information (speed, field area, total
area, seed spacing or seed population) will be accumulated
or displayed.
If a rotation shaft sensor is faulty, “LSHAFT”, “RSHAFT” or
“SHAFTS” displays.
Another type of system alarm occurs when the monitor
detects a data communication bus error.
The four possible data communication bus errors are:
2. Under Flow Alarms - If seed rate for one or more rows
is less than 55% of calculated average, corresponding
60% segment will stay on, the corresponding row number
starts flashing and the alarm sounds. Pushing the OK key
to acknowledge the warning will turn the alarm off. The 60%
segment of the bargraph remains on and the row number
continues to flash until the alarm condition is corrected.
NOTE: Alarms present before planting stops are frozen on
screen and LOW or FAIL displays on the LCD. If under flow
is between 0% and 10%, this warrants a “FAIL” condition.
If under flow is between 10% and 55%, a “LOW” condition
is generated. If multiple rows have an under flow condition,
“FAIL” displays if one or more rows is between 0% and 10%.
This allows the user to identify and fix problem rows.
NOTE: Warning will not trigger unless a minimum time of
continuous planting has passed.
LCD Display Error Condition
SYS HI
Data communication lead (green) is shorted to
power lead (white).
SYS LO Data communication lead (green) is shorted to
ground lead (black).
SYS EC An internal error has been detected.
COP Power cycled ON/OFF too quickly.
NOTE: If all the rows show a seed rate of zero, the condition
will not generate an alarm. It will be assumed the planter has
stopped. The row numbers and the bottom 60% segment will
remain on for all selected rows.
3. Multiple Alarms - If more than one alarm condition occurs at
the same time, pushing the OK key acknowledges all alarms.
For example, if one row on the front and one row on the rear
are alarming, pushing the OK key only acknowledges one
of them. However, if there are two alarms on the front, both
alarms would be acknowledged with one push of the OK key.
4. Section Not Selected Warning - If the monitor was
programmed for two sections and only one is currently
selected for display (by pressing the SELECT key), the icon
of the disabled section will flash for a period of 1 minute,
then turn off at each power up. If seed flow is sensed in the
disabled section, the icon for that section (front, left or right)
will begin to flash.
5. Seed Planting Stopped Warning - When the monitor
detects no seed flow on all rows, the monitor will emit 3 short
beeps to alert the user. This warning will occur each time the
planter is stopped, each time the planter is raised at the end
of a row or if the mechanical drive fails while planting.
NOTE: This warning will not trigger unless a minimum time
of continuous planting has passed.
6. Seed Counting Sensor In Calibration Warning - All
seed counting sensors run a self-calibration sequence on
power up. While in calibration the bottom segment of each
corresponding bargraph will flash if the monitor detects
movement or planting activity. If the monitor does not detect
this, the message “WAIT CALIBRATION” will be scrolled.
7. Seed Counting Sensor Too Dirty Warning - After the
seed counting sensors end their internal self-calibration, the
monitor may detect one or more sensors are either too dirty
or blocked. If the monitor detects planting or movement, the
corresponding bargraph remains flashing. The monitor will
display “CLEAN SENSORS” on the top LCD if no movement
or planting is detected, prompting the user to clean the
tubes. If the tubes are dirty, they will still show seed flow
with less accuracy. If the tubes are blocked the user will
get an alarm as soon as planting starts. The corresponding
bargraph will remain flashing until the problem is corrected
and the monitor is powered down and then powered back
up.
8. Low battery Warning - The monitor is constantly monitoring
its input voltage to quickly detect low power conditions. If the
monitor detects that the input voltage has dropped below
11.0V, it will display “LO SYS” on the lower LCD on the KPM
II Stack-Mode console, provided that the monitor does not
detect speed or planting.
NOTE: After the alarms have been acknowledged and if the
alarm condition is still present, the LCD will continue to
display the alarm condition.
