INSTRUCTIONS FOR 7K250 ACRE METER KIT
Maintenance
The battery operated acre counter uses 3 AA batteries. The batteries should last between 5 and 10
years. The acre counter will last much longer than that. Eventually, you will have to replace the
batteries. The acre counter will display “LObAt” when the batteries require replacement. Remove the
acre counter from the implement and undo the 4 screws on the back of the case. This will separate the
housing from the rear plate. Replace the batteries with 3 high quality AA alkaline batteries.
Operation
The battery operated acre meter operates in one of two modes. In sleep mode, the display is blank, and
the counter is accumulating acres. Sleep mode will be entered if a button is not pressed for
20 seconds. In entry mode, the display is on, and the operator can enter values. To get into entry mode,
press the FUNC button. If you continue to press the FUNC button, the acre counter will cycle through the
functions that it can perform. The icons above the digits indicate which function is selected. The available
functions are: Field Acres, Total Acres, Pulses per Mile, Width, and Password.
(Pulses per Mile and Width must be set before meter is used.)
Field Acres:
•
Press the FUNC button until the “FIELD” icon appears in the
display. The digits indicate the acres covered since the field
acre counter was cleared.
•
To clear the field acre count, depress both the UP and DOWN
buttons at the same time for 2 seconds.
•
Field acres will count in tenths of an acre up to 9999.9 acres.
Total Acres:
(If a password has been entered, you will not be able to
clear the total acre count.)
•
Press the FUNC button until the “TOTAL” icon appears in the
display. The digits indicate the acres covered since the total
acre counter was cleared.
•
To clear the total acre count, press and hold the UP and DOWN
buttons together for 2 seconds.
•
Total acres will count from 1 to 99999 acres.
Pulses per Mile:
(If a password is set, you will not be able to adjust the
pulses per mile.)
•
Press the FUNC button until the “PULSES” icon appears in the
display. The number in the display indicates how many times
the shaft rotates for every mile driven.
•
Pulses per mile for
both 4’ and 6’
overseeders should be set at
600. This is based on the 13 tooth drum sprocket.
