TURNING THE SYSTEM ON
Press the button. Upon turning the device on, a system test is performed.
Then the device is ready to monitor the interruptions in the seeding process.
SYSTEM TEST
This test is performed:
•
every time the monitor is turned on,
•
upon pressing the button.
TEST function is to be used only if seeding is not in progress!
During the test process, the monitor detects the number and status of seed
sensors (operability, dust level check).
Once the test is completed, “found” modules are displayed:
•
properly working photosensors: continuous red light,
•
sensors require cleaning: flashing light and intermittent sound.
SEEDING CONTROL
The unit simultaneously monitors the seed flow in each row. If seed flow is
continuous , the LED is off . In case flow is interrupted e.g. because of
blockage, incorrectly set seed sweeper, low vacuum, etc. for longer than the
previously set shortfall tolerance time value, an audible alarm is given and the
LED related to the given row turns on.
The length of audible alarm correlates to the duration of shortfall. The audible
alarm is automatically skipped when the power machine is turning.
SEED SHORTFALL THRESHOLD FOR ERROR
INDICATION
On the monitor front the scale above the LEDs indicate the seed shortfall
tolerance time related to the LEDs.
By keeping the button pressed, the red light “circulates” on the display.
The time value above the LED lighting when the button is released will be the
selected threshold value.
Checking the selected value: press the button once. The red light flashes
above the selected value.
Selectable time intervals: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5 and 2 seconds.
