KPM I Monitor Operation
LCD FUNCTIONS
The monitor collects planting rate data from all active rows and calculates an average. This average determines the 100% mark. Seed rate
for each row is compared to the average value and the result is displayed on the bargraph.
Information about each section is displayed alternately every 5 seconds. While operating a system with two sections programmed, one or
both sections may be selected any time. When only one section is selected, the monitor calculates the average based on the remaining
active rows from that section.
STEP 1 Press SELECT key once to show one section. The flashing icon shows the section not selected. The selected section continuously
displays on the LCD.
EXAMPLE: System is setup to display rear/front sections. Press SELECT key. FRONT icon flashes and REAR section displays on
the bargraph. After 1 minute FRONT icon stops flashing. The monitor stays in REAR only display through power down and power
up. Each time the monitor is turned on while in REAR only mode, FRONT icon flashes for 1 minute. If seed flow is sensed in the
FRONT section while planting, FRONT icon resumes flashing.
STEP 2 Press SELECT key again to activate both sections.
ExAMPLE: Press SELECT key a second time. Information about each section displays alternately every 5 seconds.
For simple applications, where only one section is programmed, the display automatically locks on that section. Pressing SELECT key has
no affect.
NOTE: When alternating between two sections, the display will lock on the section containing the first recognized alarm until the
alarm is acknowledged by pressing the OK key or the alarm condition is removed.
CHANGING AUDIbLE ALARM VOLUME
STEP 1 Press and hold down the VOLUME key.
STEP 2 SETUP and VOLUME icons turn on and alarm sounds continuously. Sound intensity changes every 2 seconds. After maximum
volume is reached, the next change sets the volume to minimum and continues to get louder every 2 seconds. When desired
volume is reached, release the key.
WARNINGS AND ALARMS
1. System Alarms - A system alarm is activated when the monitor detects a faulty sensor or one of several other communication faults.
The corresponding row number starts flashing and the alarm sounds. All segments on the corresponding bargraph are turned off.
Pushing the OK key to acknowledge the warning turns audible alarm off. The row number continues to flash until the alarm condition is
removed. If the monitor detects a faulty sensor and there is no planting activity present, the monitor will scroll “CHECK CONNECTION”.
Another type of system alarm occurs when the monitor detects a data communication bus error. Three data communication bus errors
are:
2. Under Flow Alarms - If seed rate for one or more rows is less than 55% of the calculated average, the corresponding 60% segment
stays on, the corresponding row number starts flashing and the alarm sounds. Pushing the OK key to acknowledge the alarm will turn
the alarm off. The 60% segment of the bargraph remains on and the row number continues to flash until the alarm condition is corrected.
NOTE: All alarms present within a short time before planting stops, are frozen on the screen and the text LOW or FAIL displays.
If the under flow is between 0% and 10%, this warrants a “FAIL” condition. If the under flow is between 10% and 55%, a “LOW”
condition is generated. If multiple rows have an under flow condition, “FAIL” displays if any one or more rows is between 0% and
10%. This allows the user to identify and fix problem rows.
NOTE: This warning will not trigger unless a minimum time of continuous planting has passed.
