Monitor Operation
Monitor Introduction
The multi-function drill monitor controls the operation and
tramlining functions.
Refer to Figure 42 and Figure 43
The instrument
1
has:
an illuminated four-digit/six-chevron display,
six display functions (indicated by chevron),
three active control buttons.
There are alarm functions for forward speed, seed distri-
bution shaft rpm, fertilizer shaft rpm and main hopper
levels. The speed and area functions can be displayed in
either metric or imperial units. A power switch on the
back
is used primarily for certain system settings.
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
2
function is the priority display. Unless
tramlining is disabled, the instrument defaults to this
channel display 10 seconds after selecting another dis-
play function (with the exception of displaying an area
total or when the drill is out of work).
