Channel Indicator Chevron
The indicator chevron appears above the icon of
the channel to which the information on the digits display
relates.
Channel Select
In normal mode, press the Channel Select button to
move the indicator to above the next channel to the
right.
When at channel six (Level), the next channel select
function wraps around to channel one (Speed).
If Tramlining ( ) is disabled, or Fertilizer/Seed shaft
alarms are indefinitely disabled, the chevron does not
stop at the icon for the disabled channel.
Normal Display Mode
The instrument has a normal display mode displaying six
work functions.
When the drill is moving, and the Tramline function is
enabled, any other selected channel is displayed for 10
seconds before defaulting back to the Tramline Bout dis-
play channel.
When stationary, the instrument flashes between For-
ward Speed
and Tramline channels. This also
serves as an alarm in the event of speed sensor faults.
If the Tramline function is turned off, the instrument
defaults to the Forward Speed channel.
