Console Panel Elements
Normal Operation
1. Connect the shaft monitor and console harness
leads when hitching.
2. Set the power switch to ON.
The power indicator illuminates.
If the drill is not in motion with shafts rotating:
The status indicators illuminate.
The alarm tone sounds for 20 seconds.
3. The power switch is normally left on for planting.
If your turns take more than 20 seconds, an alarm
sounds. Turn the switch off to avoid nuisance alarms.
If a shaft stall occurs during planting, an alarm sounds,
and the status indicator for that channel illuminatess,
identifying the stopped shaft.
Power Switch:
This mechanical switch controls 12Vdc power to the
shaft monitor system.
Power Indicator:
This LED illuminates when 12Vdc is available and the
switch
in ON.
Status Indicators:
With the system active, one or more of these LEDs
illuminate whenever shaft rotation has not been
detected for 20 seconds.
Audio Portal:
When Status Indicators first illuminate, an audible
tone is emitted at this portal, for 20 seconds.
Note: If the harness, or one of more sensor leads, are
not connected, the system ignores the
disconnected channels, and does NOT generate
an alarm at power-on.
Note: An alarm at power up not just normal. It is also a
verification that the sensors are detected.
Note: If an actual shaft stall alarm occurs, be aware that
the affected seed box has not been planting for
20 seconds.
