KPM II Monitor Operation
PROGRAMMING - SPEED
STEP 1 Press and hold SETUP key to enter
programming mode. Monitor emits several
short beeps, followed by a long beep. On
the lower LCD, the SETUP icon turns on
and the arrow head icon will flash, indicating
the user can select an item to program.
NOTE: Monitor must be in a programmable
function (row spacing, units, speed, volume or
area) to enter setup. The monitor will not enter
setup in seed population or seed spacing.
STEP 2 Press UP or DOWN arrow keys to move
flashing arrow to SPEED. As arrow icon
moves, lower LCD displays selected item
current setting.
STEP 3 Press the OK key and the flashing arrow
becomes solid and the audible alarm will
sound. The R.H. digit on the display will be
blinking.
The speed constant is used to record how
many pulses are generated per mile (or
kilometer) from the ground speed sensor.
The lower LCD will display the current
pulses per mile (or kilometer) using a 6
digit, no decimal place format. The PULSES
per MILE (or PULSES per KM) icons are
turned on.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that a field
calibration be done to establish the PPM/PPKM
(Pulses Per Mile/Kilometer) number on a new
machine installation. Several factors can affect
this value such as wheel slip on the magnetic
distance sensor, mounting angle and height on the
radar distance sensor, etc. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON
FOR THE SPEED ON THE MONITOR TO VARY
SLIGHTLY FROM THE TRACTOR SPEEDOMETER.
Adjusting PPM/PPKM in the monitor to make
speed agree can cause serious errors in acre/
hectare and population counts. Do field checks to
verify populations and seed spacings.
NOTE: Monitor defaults to 500 PPM (310 PPKM) on
new system installations. This must be changed
to obtain accurate readings.
• In field conditions, measure 330 feet ( 1 /
16
mile) or 100 meters, depending on the unit
of measurement selected.
• Pull the tractor up to the starting line.
• Press UP and DOWN arrow keys at
the same time and hold them down until
CLEAR? icon displays and monitor beeps
several times. Monitor emits a long beep
and number of pulses is cleared.
NOTE: If the PPM/PPKM number starts to count
pulses with the tractor not moving, check the
radar for vibration or other kinds of interference.
• Drive the tractor for 330 feet ( 1 /
16
mile) or
100 meters and stop.
• The monitor will count the number of
pulses and display them.
STEP 4 To exit without saving, press and release
the OK key. The monitor will restore the
lower LCD to show the previous setting
of the item, and the arrow icon will flash,
allowing the user to select another item to
program.
To exit and save, press and hold the OK
key. The monitor emits several short beeps
and SAVE? icon is turned on. After a short
time a long beep is heard, and the lower
LCD displays “DONE”. Release the OK
key. If the OK key is released BEFORE
“DONE” is displayed, changes WILL NOT
BE SAVED. “DONE” MUST be displayed for
save to have occurred.
NOTE: Programming mode may be exited at any
time by pressing the SETUP key. Pressing this
key returns monitor normal operation. All items
changed and saved come into effect immediately.
Any items changed, but not saved revert to
original programmed value.
