“OFF”, depending on how the status was set. Setting the
status to 0 (OFF) will disable shaft and bin level monitoring
for the corresponding shaft and bin level sensor (i.e., no
alarms will be generated).
Refer to the Standard Parameter Settings for the 2250 Air
Drill for Systems Monitor in the “Specifications and Ca-
pacities” section on page 51 for specific values.
Setting Blockage Module Complement & Type Value:
When the rotary switch is set to FLOW, pressing the
ACK/MODE button for five seconds will cause the display
to show “tYyy”, where yy indicates the type value. This
number should be set to zero using the DOWN button. Re-
peated short presses of the ACK/MODE button will switch
between blockage module complement and type setting.
Pressing the ACK/MODE button for five seconds will enter
these values into non-volatile memory, and the monitor will
return to showing flow information.
If the flow monitoring function is not used, the number of
modules should be set to 0 to prevent alarms from occur-
ring. This is the standard monitor setting.
Refer to the Standard Parameter Settings for the 2250 Air
Drill for Systems Monitor in the “Specifications and Ca-
pacities” section on page 51 for specific values.
Selecting English/Metric Units
and Setting the Implement Width:
When the rotary switch is in the WIDTH position, pressing
the ACK/MODE button for five seconds will cause the dis-
play to show “Lnth” briefly, then the implement width (sor-
ry, but we cannot show “width” on the display). Pressing
the UP and DOWN buttons will cause the width to increase
or decrease. Pressing the ACK/MODE button briefly will
show “unit” then either “Eng” indicating
English Units or “tric” indicating Metric Units). Pressing
the UP button will select English Units, while the DOWN
button will select Metric Units. These units will apply to
ground speed, area accumulation, application, rate calcu-
lation, and implement width. Pressing the ACK/MODE
button briefly will return you to the width setting mode,
while pressing the ACK/MODE button for five seconds will
store the selection in nonvolatile memory, and return the
display to showing implement width.

Drill for Systems Monitor in the “Specifications and Ca-
pacities” section on page 51 for specific values.
Operating Instructions
◗ Alarm Systems
Alarms:
Alarms are displayed when the limits described in the
Vansco Electronic Monitor Technical Specifications por-
tion of the “Specifications” section, on page 51, are ex-
ceeded. When a new alarm condition arises the monitor
will beep continuously and the display will indicate the fault
conditions (this will happen regardless of the position of
the rotary switch).
To acknowledge the alarm the ACK/MODE button must be
pressed. This will silence the audible alarm, and return the
display to showing the monitored function. The display will
now show all fault conditions every ten seconds until the
faults are corrected. If the unit is in a parameter setting
mode, new alarms will have to be acknowledged, but after
being acknowledged, the fault conditions will not be dis-
played every ten seconds.
Multiple Alarms:
If more than one alarm condition occurs at the same time,
pushing the ACK/MODE button will acknowledge each
alarm in order of priority. The display will not return to dis-
playing the monitored function until all alarms are ac-
knowledged.
The order of alarm priority is:
1.
High Fan RPM 5. Low Fan RPM
2. Rear Shaft RPM 6. Rear Bin Low
3. Front Shaft RPM 7. Front Bin Low
4. Grain Flow Blockage
Ground Drive Alarm:
Whenever the monitor detects the ground speed going
through 2.0 MPH, a short double beep will be generated.
This will occur if the ground speed is increasing or de-
creasing. There is no visual display associated with this
feature. It is only intended to inform the operator that the
clutch is operating properly.
Flow Alarms:
If the error message “Er X” is displayed on the monitor
(where X is a number from 1 through 10), and no blockage
modules are connected, the monitor must be programmed
to disable the flow monitoring function. This is done by set-
ting the Blockage Module complement equal to zero as
described under Setting Blockage Module Complement &
Type Value, this page.
◗ Area & Application Rate Modes
Area Rate Modes:
When the rotary switch is set to AREA, the display will
show either “Fxxx.x” or “Axxx” indicating either Field or
Accumulated areas respectively. (When in metric mode
the “F” or the “A” will flash to indicate that metric units are
being used.) Pressing the ACK/MODE key briefly will
switch between the two areas. When showing Field area,
pressing UP and DOWN at the same time for five seconds
will clear the Field area. When showing Accumulated ar-
ea, pressing the UP and DOWN buttons for five seconds
will clear both Field and Accumulated areas.
Application Rate Operation:
The application rate mode is used to accurately calculate
the application rate. This is done by operating the imple-
ment over an accurately known area and collecting all the
material that would be applied. By dividing the weight of
the material by the area, the application rate is obtained.
To properly collect a sample, with the fan off, cover plate
under each bin meter. Arrange a way to catch the seed
