modes. In sleep mode, the display is blank, and the

values. To get into entry mode, press the

acre counter will cycle through the functions that it can
perform. The LEDs above the display indicate which
function is selected.
The available functions are:

If you know the number, select it using the UP and
DOWN buttons. When you press the * /FUNC button,
the Acre Counter will accept the number in the display as
the new pulses per 400 feet. See Table 3-1.
If you do not know the pulses per mile, press and hold the
UP and DOWN buttons until the “0000” appears in the
display. The “ PULSES ” LED will blink. The acre counter

counter. The “ PULSES ” LED will again blink. The number

blinking and remain on.
If a password is set, you will not be able to adjust the
pulses per mile.
Width

The number displayed is the length of your implement in
feet.
To adjust the width, press the UP and DOWN buttons. If a
password has been entered, you will not be able to adjust
the width.
The length can be adjusted from .1 to 99.9 feet, in tenths
of a foot.
Password
The password function allows you to protect the total acre
count, pulses per 400 feet, and width settings with a
password. This stops anyone from accidentally changing
those settings. When the acre counter is shipped, the
password is disabled. You can modify the pulses per 400
feet and implement width at any time.
Press the
*
/FUNC button until the “ PASS ” LED is lit. The
digits will display the word “ Ent ” or “ dIS ”.
If the display shows “ dIS ”: The password is disabled. The
total acre count, pulses/400 ft, width, and password
settings can be adjusted using the
UP and DOWN
buttons. The password can also be changed using the
UP and DOWN buttons.
If the display shows “ Ent ”: You must enter your password
using the UP and DOWN buttons. When your password
is displayed, press the
*
/FUNC button to test the
password. If the password is correct, you will be able to
change the acre counter settings. The password will be
viewable until the acre counter powers down. When the
acre counter is powered up again, you will have to
re-enter the password to change settings.
If the password is not correct, you will not be able to
change the acre counter settings. When the “
PASS ”
function is selected again, “ Ent ” will appear in the display.
