KPM I Monitor Operation

The KPM I electronic seed monitor system consists of a tractor mounted console, seed tubes with computerized sensors installed in each

planter row unit, a primary harness* connecting the console to the planter harness, and a planter harness (junction Y-harness and/or

harness extension where applicable), connected to individual seed tube sensors.

Seed flow for up to 36 rows, in two 18 row sections (left/right or rear/front), may be monitored with one monitor. For less complicated

applications (18 rows or less), all rows may be programmed in one section and the other section left disabled.

The monitor system is powered by the tractor battery (requires 12 volts DC). The console receives information from each of the sensors and

translates this information.

The single backlit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows the active section, number of monitored rows per section, relative seed rate for

each row (using a bargraph display) and scrolls various alarm and warning messages. A continuous audible alarm sounds upon system

malfunction or underflow conditions for any monitored row. Alarms must be acknowledged by the user.

The monitor powers down if no activity is detected within one hour. No activity means there is no new seed flow and no operator push key

input. (If Applicable)

NOTE: All 3000 Series primary harnesses are hard-wired into the safety/warning light harness or control console harness included

as standard equipment with the planter.
