KPM III Monitor Operation
The KPM III electronic seed monitor system consists of:
• A tractor mounted KPM III console powered by tractor 12 VDC battery receives and displays information from planter mounted sensors.
• Seed tube and sensor installed in each planter row unit.
• A magnetic distance sensor installed on planter or a radar distance sensor installed on tractor.
• Shaft rotation sensors (if applicable) installed on planter drill shafts.
• Vacuum, pneumatic down pressure, ASD, and hydraulic level/temperature (If applicable), installed on planter.
• Planter harnesses (junction Y-harness and extension harness where applicable), to which the individual seed tube sensors connect.
The primary harness, which connects 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 KPM III console uses a backlit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to show number of monitored rows, relative seed rate for each row (using
bargraph displays), and alarm and warning messages. A continuous audible alarm sounds upon system malfunction or underflow conditions
for any monitored row. Alarms must be acknowledged. Various warnings also sound an alarm or flash one or more messages. The LCD
displays row spacing, units (Metric or English), speed (MPH or KM/H), volume, seed population, seed spacing, field area, and total area.
KPM III software allows simultaneous viewing of seed flow bargraphs for standard and Interplant System rows (up to 36 rows).
The monitor system powers down if there is no new seed flow or operator push key input within one hour.
