Monitor
CX 8105 - Ground Drive December 2016 6-21
Alarms - Continued
“In Motion” Notification
The “In Motion” condition means that the monitor, based
on ground speed and clutch state, considers that the
system is supposed to be actively seeding.
The monitor emits a double beep whenever the “In
Motion” condition becomes true or false. This condition
is defined as
speed greater than 2 mph (3.2 Kph) and
drive clutch engaged.
1. If ground speed is less than 2 mph (3.2 Kph) for more
than 30 seconds the monitor will alarm and display
“Should be Seeding”.
2. If ground speed is greater than 2 mph (3.2 Kph) for
more than 30 seconds and clutch is not engaged the
monitor will alarm and display “Clutch Switch is Off”.
3. Certain alarms are inhibited when the “In Motion”
condition is false. These are described elsewhere in
this manual, but an example is whether to generate
an alarm for a stopped shaft.
If a speed sensor is unavailable the speed is considered
to be greater than 2MPH for the purpose of this variable.
This allows metering shaft monitoring to work normally,
as if there were motion.
Low Fan Alarms
Low fan alarms are handled differently because a
stopped fan can result in damage to the metering
mechanics as unblown material accumulates.
Low fan
alarms can not be acknowledged while the system
is “in motion”. Thus, if a low fan alarm occurs during
active seeding, the user will
not be able to silence
the alarm with the soft key, but will need to stop the
vehicle or disengage the clutch. When this happens,
the monitor accepts it as an acknowledgement of the
alarm, and an effective “automatic acknowledge” takes
place, resulting in the beeper being silenced and the
resumption of normal display with “Fan Low RPM”
flashing in the alarm window.
