micro-trak ProPlant, Справочное руководство, Страница: 34 / 48

Make sure your system is properly calibrated before beginning
your seeding operation. We also recommend completion of
the Meter Cal Test described on page 31 prior to beginning
any field operations.
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the console on. After
displaying the hours of operation software part number then
software revision number will be displayed.
The ProPlant can be operated in Manual (MAN) or Automatic
(AUTO) mode. In either mode, the right-hand display will
always show the Application Rate (except when in HOLD or
when displaying error messages, see Troubleshooting section
starting on page 36). The left hand display will show data as
selected by the rotary switch.
Manual Operation
The manual mode is used when the operator wants to
manually control the seed rate using the “+” and “-” keys. The
seed rate (seeds/acre or seeds/hec) will vary depending on
ground speed. Use the AUTO/MAN button to select MANual
mode (“MAN” icon will be displayed).
IN HOLD
If the console is in HOLD, or if all Section Switches are OFF,
the “+” and “-” buttons will not adjust the control valve.
IN RUN, WITH SPEED SIGNAL
If the system is in RUN, with at least one section switch ON
and there is a speed signal, the “+” and “-” buttons can be
used to adjust the control valve with the rotary switch in any
position except SEEDS, AREA, DISTANCE or RPM and the seed
rate can be monitored on the right-hand display.
IN RUN, NO SPEED SIGNAL
If there is no speed signal, “no SPEEd” will flash in the right-
hand display and the Seed Rate will be invalid. The “+” and
“-” buttons will adjust the control valve if the rotary switch
is in the SEED SPACING, SEEDS/DISTANCE, SPEED OR AREA/
HOUR positions,
Turn rotary dial to display desired readout.

RPM INPUTS
Turn the rotary switch to RPM and select the RPM input
of interest by pressing the “+” button, notice the number
change in the right display each time you press the “+”
button. 1 represents the Left RPM input, 2 represents the
Center and 3 the Right. Alternately you could toggle on
only the Section switch whose input is in question and its
associated number would be on by default if the console is
in Run. The following test can be performed in either Run or
Hold, if performed in Hold the Hold message will be replaced
by ShAFt Err when you do the jumper wire test. left input
is identified by two Brown cable ties, Center input has two
Red cable ties and the Right input has two orange cable ties.
See external wiring schematics starting on page 10 for more
details.
1. Disconnect the input of concern
2. Using a voltmeter check for 12 volts between pins B
(white wire) and C (black wire)
3. Check the voltage between pins A (red wire) and C,
should be just over 9 volts
4. Using a jumper wire such as a paper clip bent in a “U”
shape, rapidly short together pins A and C, this should
produce an RPM reading at the console.
NOTE: If above tests are successful, then the input is
working, see troubleshooting the sensors. If the tests
above fail, then see external wiring schematics and
perform same test further up the line towards console.
