KPM II Monitor Operation
The software design of the KPM II Stack-Mode
console allows use of an add-on SMM console for
simultaneous viewing of seed flow bar graphs for
standard and/or Interplant
® System rows (up to 36
rows in two sections). A total of 72 rows may be
displayed in multiple sections (rear/front, left/right or
four sections). The SMM console must be used to
allow utilization of the four section feature.
The KPM II Stack-Mode console has two backlit
Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD). The upper display
shows the active section, the number of monitored
rows per section, the relative seed rate for each row
(using a bar graph display) and scrolls various alarm
and warning messages when an alarm condition
exists. A continuous audible alarm will sound upon
system malfunction or underflow conditions for any
monitored row. Alarms must be acknowledged by
the user. Various warnings may sound the alarm or
flash one or more icons. The lower display is used to
display alphanumeric data such as row spacing, units
(Metric or English), speed, volume, seed population,
seed spacing, field area, total area and distance
sensor pulses per mile/kilometer.
The SMM console has one backlit Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) which functions the same as the upper
display on the KPM II Stack-Mode console except it
does not scroll alarm and warning messages. The
SMM console must be programmed into the system
before printed text will display on the LCD.
The monitor system powers down if no activity is
detected within one hour. No activity means there
has been no new seed flow and no operator push key
input.
KPM II STACK-MODE ELECTRONIC
SEED MONITOR
NOTE: SMM console may not be applicable to
all models.
The KPM II Stack-Mode electronic seed monitor
system consists of (a) a tractor mounted KPM II
Stack-Mode console; (b) seed tubes with sensors
installed in each row unit; (c) a magnetic distance
sensor installed on the planter, or a radar distance
sensor installed on the tractor; (d) shaft rotation
sensors installed on drill shafts; and (e) a planter
harness (junction Y-harness and/or extension harness
where applicable), connected to individual seed tube
sensors. The primary harness connecting the monitor
console to the planter harness is hard-wired into
the safety/warning light harness or control console
harness included as standard equipment with the
planter.
The monitor system is powered by the tractor
battery (requires 12 volts DC). The console receives
information from each of the sensors and translates
this information.
