1. All Rows Failed
This occurs at the end of each row when
the implement is lifted from the ground.
The alarm sounds continuously for
three (3) seconds, the ROWS and
FAILED messages appear, and the row
numbers are displayed sequentially. After
the alarm silences, the console reverts to
the previous Operate Mode function.
2. Rows Failed
This occurs when two (2) seeds per
second or less are detected. The alarm
sounds continuously and the row
number of the failed sensor appears
with the messages ROW and FAILED.
If multiple rows fail, the numbers of the
failed rows are sequentially displayed at
the rate of one per second. This alarm
can be acknowledged by pressing the
ALARM switch. This will silence the
audible alarm, but the display will remain
until the condition ceases, or the user
enters the SETUP MODE Row Status
and turns the faulty rows to the OFF
status. After the audible alarm is
acknowledged, the only functions that are
available are in the SETUP MODE
(reference the SETUP MODE chapter
for more information).
3. Distance Sensor Failed
If seed flow is detected without a signal
from the ground speed sensor and the
monitor is not in Seed Count function
for a duration of thirty (30) seconds, the
alarm sounds continuously for five (5)
seconds and the console automatically
enters a mode to manually enter a ground
speed value. A manual (simulated)
ground speed value, in MPH (Km/h),
appears on the display along with the
SETUP, SPEED, and FAILED messages.
To continue in the Operate Mode
without a functioning ground speed
sensor, the operator must first enter a
suitable manual ground speed value
using the SELECT and SET switches.
