Assembly and Setup
◗ Installing the Monitor Control Box on Tractor
The control box must be installed where it will not be ex-
posed to high levels of dust or precipitation.
The mounting bracket can be removed to ease installation.
Attach the black lead to the battery ground and the white
lead to +12 VDC, refer to Figure 7-1. Continuous power is
not required to save monitor settings and the power
source can be turned off when the monitor is not being
used. The unit also has an ON/OFF switch at the rear of
the control box. Route the 12 pin connector lead to the rear
of the tractor so that it can be connected to the cart har-
ness. Coil up and secure any excess but be sure to leave
enough slack for turning and uneven terrain.
When all wiring is in place and connected secure the wires
to the drill with cable ties. Be sure that all wires are safe
from moving parts and away from field vegetation. Be sure
all connections are tight.
When installation is complete refer to the following Setting
User Variable Parameters. All operating parameters must
be set before the unit is ready to use.
◗ Setting User Variable Parameters
To view or change any of the user variable parameters,
the Rotary Function Select switch must be set to the de-
sired function. The rotary switch is used to select one of
the following seven functions for display.
After the Rotary Function Select switch is in position the
ACK/MODE button is pressed and held for five seconds.
While the button is being held, the monitor will give short
beeps, and after the five seconds, the monitor will give a
longer beep. At this time the display will show the param-
eter, and allow it to be modified using the UP or DOWN
buttons. Upon entering the parameter changing mode, a
message will be displayed briefly indicating which param-
eter is being accessed. This message will be displayed
periodically throughout the parameter changing mode as
a reminder. Pressing the UP or DOWN buttons will change
the parameter, and pressing the ACK/MODE button again
for five seconds will store the parameter in nonvolatile
memory. The display will then revert to showing the moni-
tored function. If the rotary switch position is changed be-
fore storing the parameters, the changes won’t be saved.
Setting the Fan Parameters:
When the rotary switch is in the FAN position, pressing the
ACK/MODE button for five seconds will cause the display
to show “PLSE” briefly, and then the number of pulses
that are generated per revolution of the fan. This value is
variable from 0 through 3 using the UP or DOWN buttons.
A setting of zero means that the fan RPM meter is off and
no fan alarm will sound. (“OFF” will be displayed when in
the FAN position.) When the ACK/MODE button is
pressed again, the monitor will display “FAnL” briefly, and
then show the fan’s low speed alarm point. Using the UP
or DOWN buttons, the alarm point may now be changed.
When the ACK/MODE button is pressed again, the display
will show “FAnH” briefly, and then show the fan’s high
speed alarm point. Using the UP of DOWN buttons, the
alarm point may now be changed. Repeatedly pressing
the ACK/MODE button will switch between the pulses per
revolution setting and the alarm points. Pressing the
ACK/MODE button for five seconds will cause the alarm
point and the pulses per revolution to be entered into
memory, and the fan RPM to be displayed.
Refer to the Standard Parameter Settings for the 1150 Air
Drill for Systems Monitor in the “Specifications and Ca-
pacities” section on page 83 for specific values.
Setting Pulses Per Mile:
When the rotary switch is in the SPEED position, pressing
the ACK/MODE button for five seconds will cause the dis-
play to show “PLSE” briefly, and then the number of
ground speed pulses required to go one mile (pulses per
mile is also used if in metric units). This value may be
changed using the UP of DOWN buttons.
Alternatively, the pulse rate may be measured. Pressing
UP and DOWN at the same time for five seconds will enter
the monitor into pulse count mode. The display will show
“Cnt” briefly, and then “0000”. The implement should
then be driven over a distance of one mile with the clutch
engaged. While driving, the display will start to count up-
ward (this is the number of ground speed pulses received
so far). At the end of one mile, the required pulses will be
shown on the display. Pressing ACK/MODE button for five
seconds will enter the pulse value (regardless of which
setting method was used) into nonvolatile memory.
If the operator tries to save a value below the lower limit or
above the upper limit, the limit value will be saved.
Refer to the Standard Parameter Settings for the 1150 Air
Drill for Systems Monitor in the “Specifications and Ca-
pacities” section on page 83 for specific values.
Setting the Status of Shafts/Bins:
When the rotary switch is in the FRONT SHAFT or REAR
SHAFT position, pressing the ACK/MODE button for five
seconds will cause the display to show “PLSE” briefly,
then display either 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. The 0 indicates that the
selected shaft/bin combination has been disabled, while
number 1 through 4 indicate the number of pulses gener-
ated per revolution of the shaft. The operator may change
the setting using the UP or DOWN buttons. Pressing the
ACK/MODE button for five seconds will enter the status in
