KPM II Monitor Operation
FIELD AREA/TOTAL AREA
Each AREA FIELD/TOTAL key press alternates
between field area and total area.
Field area displays total number of acres or hectares
using a 6 digit, one decimal place format.
NOTE: when FIELD AREA is selected, the UP or
DOwN key must be held in slightly longer than
normal so the monitor will not mistake this
action with a CLEAR, which consists of the UP
and DOwN arrow keys pressed simultaneously. A
beep will sound when the function activates.
Total area displays the total number of acres or
hectares using a 6 digit, one decimal place format.
The total area counter updates every time the field
area counter increments. Clearing the total area
counter will also clear the field area counter.
When the monitor is programmed as a rear only or
rear/front configuration and shaft rotation sensors
are installed, pressing the UP arrow to move beyond
row spacing lights an arrow on an unlabeled area
above ROW SPACING. This is the automatically set
division line between the L.H. shaft sensor and the
R.H. shaft sensor. The display shows the first row
on the rear section and the front section assigned
to the R.H. shaft rotation sensor.
ExAMPLE: On a 12 Row 30" planter with
Interplant

THIS DISPLAY IS NOT ACCESSIBLE ON LEFT/
RIGHT CONFIGURATIONS OR SYSTEMS
WITHOUT SHAFT ROTATION SENSORS.
SEED POPULATION/SEED SPACING
Each SEED POP/SPACING key press alternates
between seed population and seed spacing.
Seed population displays the average number of
seeds or the row average number of seeds per acre or
seeds per hectare for all the active rows. The average
is displayed using a 6 digits, no decimal places format.
The AVERAGE POPULATION icon will turn on. When
in the scan mode, the scan arrow and SCAN ROW
POPULATION will appear. The ROW number icon
and the current row will be displayed on the left and
the population will be displayed on the right in 1000’s
using 3 digits, one decimal place (e.g. 32.9 means
32,900). When in scan freeze mode, the scan arrow
and ROW POPULATION will turn on (scan arrow may
be flashing). The UP and DOWN keys may be used to
lock on the desired row.
Seed spacing displays the average distance or the
row average distance between seeds for all active
rows in inches per seed or centimeters per seed
using a 3 digit, one decimal place format. When the
average is displayed the AVERAGE SPACING icons
are turned on. When in the scan mode, the scan
arrow and SCAN ROW SPACING icons will appear.
The ROW number icon and the current row will be
displayed on the left and the spacing will be displayed
on the right. The display will sequence to the next row
every 5 seconds. When in scan freeze mode, the scan
arrow and SPACING will turn on (scan arrow may be
flashing). The UP and DOWN keys may be used to
lock on the desired row.
