OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
4-39
Shaft Monitor Bin Level Sensor
Operation (Option)
1. The Grain Drill may be equipped with the optional
shaft monitor and bin level sensor. A shaft monitor
console is located in the tractor cab that allows the
operator to simultaneously monitor the status of the
three seed meter drive shafts and three seed levels
in the seed boxes
(See Figure 4-39.)
2. The shaft rpm sensors are located on the seed shaft
that runs directly through the seed meters for each
section. The shaft sensors only verify that the seed
meter shaft is rotating, not specific seed rate or
population information. The sensor only monitors the
seed shaft, not dry fertilizer or other attachments.
Shaft rpm is typically monitored on the console as
shafts 1, 2, & 3.
3. The seed shaft rpm sensor is mounted directly over
the magnet attached to the square seed shaft. The
sensor should be adjusted within 1/4”-1/2” of the
shaft magnet to accurately sense the shaft rotation.
When making seed rate adjustments, which
reposition the seed shaft, verify that the magnet is
still in line with seed shaft rpm sensor.
4. Bin level sensors – Three bin levels may be
monitored on the drill. Bin levels will normally be
monitored on the console as shafts 4, 5, & 6. When
the seed level in the box has lowered to a preset
level, an alarm will sound and warning light flash on
the console for that specific box.
5. The bin level sensor is mounted inside and to one
end of the seed box. The sensor is mounted on an
adjustable bracket that allows the operator to set the
seed level height at which the alarm will alert the
operator. When the sensor is submerged in seed, no
alarm will activate. As the seed level falls below the
sensor, the seed no longer blocks the sensor and will
alert the operator. Adjust the height of the seed level
sensor, by loosening the 5/16 nut in the bracket’s
slotted hole. Raise or lower the bracket to the desired
height and retighten the 5/16” nut.
6. Electrical Connection – The shaft monitor is operated
on a 12-volt DC negative-ground system. Connect
the red wire to a positive terminal that is on when the
tractor switch is on. Unprotected circuits should use a
4-amp inline fuse (not included). A lighter adapter
may be used if desired. Connect the black wire to a
chassis ground on the tractor maintaining good
metal-to-metal contact.
7. Operation – When power is supplied to the shaft
monitor, active normal rotating seed shaft and full bin
level will be indicated by a solid green light on the
console. If a shaft stops turning or a bin level is low, a
flashing red light and alarm will sound to alert the
operator. The red light will continue to flash for one
minute. If the shaft still does not turn or bin level is
low after one minute, both red & green lights will turn
off. The green light will turn on once the seed shaft
begins rotating or the seed box has been filled.
8. The switch on top of the console allows the operator
to turn on/off the audible alarm.
