Loup (I) Setup and Operation
Note: New ADC2220 air carts include a Loup-II monitor
(page 115). The information on the following page
is provided for use with older carts.
The Loup Electronics monitor is designed for use with
Great Plains air drills. The monitor is packaged in a high
impact plastic housing with a mounting bracket for tractor
installation.
The system is capable of continuously monitoring ground
speed, fan speed, meter-shaft speeds, field area, total
area and bin level. Using optional modules and sensors,
the system can also monitor for blockage in one-inch
seed hoses.
The system warns you when these functions are not
operating as specified. You can adjust alarm points and
various system settings, including alarm point for low fan
speed, alarm point for high fan speed, implement width,
English or metric units and number and type of blockage
sensors connected to the unit.
