KPM II Monitor Operation

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.

The software design of the KPM II Stack-Mode console allows use of an add-on SMM console for simultaneous viewing of seed flow

bargraphs 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 bargraph 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.
