Monitor
The multi-function drill monitor controls the operation and tramlining function of pneumatic type seed drills.
The instrument has an illuminated 4 digit display with 6 display functions and alarm functions for forward speed,
fan rpm and seed distribution shaft rpm. The speed and area functions can be displayed in either metric or im-
perial units.
The instrument indicates:
• Forward Speed (plus low speed alarm)
• Part Area and Total Area worked
• The current bout number and tramline bouts for the selected tramlining sequence.
• Fertilizer Distribution Shaft Alarm
• Seed Distribution Shaft Alarm
• Seed Hopper Level Low
• Fertilizer Hopper Level Low
The tramlining function is the priority display. The instrument will default to this channel display 10 seconds after
selecting another display function (with the exception of displaying an area total or when the drill is out of work).
It has two memory registers (Total 1 and Total 2) to record area worked. The area is accumulated to both memory
registers. Area totals and all calibration data are automatically stored in memory when the instrument is powered
off.
The instrument must be initially calibrated to suit the implement being controlled. Three program modes allow the
default settings to be altered as required. Most of these settings do not need to be accessed in normal use.
