section. The flashing icon shows the section
that is not selected. The selected section

section on KPM II Stack-Mode console and front
section on SMM console. Press SELECT key.
The FRONT icon will be flashing and the REAR
section will be displayed on the bar graph. The
SMM console is only backlit. After 1 minute the
front row icon will stop flashing. The monitor will
stay in this REAR only display through power

turned on while in REAR only mode, the FRONT
icon will flash for 1 minute.
If seed flow is sensed in the FRONT section while
planting, the FRONT icon will resume flashing.

spacing will automatically double to maintain the
proper implement width in the monitor. A 23 or
24 row 15" configuration changes to a 12 row 30"

sections.
For simple applications, where only one section is
programmed, the display automatically locks on that
section. Pressing the SELECT key has no affect.

display locks on the section containing the first
recognized alarm until the alarm is acknowledged
by pressing the OK key or the alarm condition is
removed.
UPPER LCD FUNCTIONS
The monitor collects data on the planting rates from all
active rows and calculates an average. This average
will determine the 100% mark. Seed rate for each row
is then compared to the average value and the result
is displayed on the bar graph.
With only the KPM II Stack-Mode console programmed
into the system, the information regarding each
section is displayed alternately every 5 seconds. While
operating a system with two sections programmed,
one or both sections may be selected any time. When
only one section is selected, the monitor calculates
the average based on the remaining active rows from
that section.
With the SMM console programmed into the system,
two sections are viewed at the same time. If the
system configuration is for four sections, the display
alternates every 5 seconds between a pair of sections.
The select key locks the display on rear sections.
The SMM console shows RIGHT in the left/right
configuration, FRONT in the rear/front configuration
and FRONT RIGHT/REAR RIGHT in four sections
configuration. The KPM II Stack-Mode console shows
LEFT in the left/right configuration, REAR in the rear/
front configuration and FRONT LEFT/REAR LEFT in
four sections configuration.
