Operate Mode
During normal operation, the blockage modules
continuously monitor seed hoses for plugging–even
when the monitor displays a different function such as
fan speed.

When the monitor detects a blockage problem, an
audible alarm sounds and the monitor displays “FLOW”
on the upper line. To correct a flow alarm:

1.

Silence the alarm by pressing the ACK button. The
triangle indicator blinks as long as the problem
persists.

2.

If some other function was displayed when the flow
alarm went off, use the up or down button to move to
the flow function. The display indicates one of two
alarm conditions.

Blocked Seed Hose. If the monitor detects a
seed-hose blockage, the monitor alarms and display
the location of the block.

For systems equipped with Pin sensors the readout
displays the module and run number. For example, if
the display reads “M4 R9,” seed hose nine on
module four is blocked.

For systems equipped with Optical sensors the
readout displays the row number only. For example,
if the display reads “Blk 25,” seed hose 25 on the
implement is blocked.

Communication Error. If the monitor detects a
communication breakdown between the monitor and
any blockage module, the monitor displays
“BLCKERR” and the number of the problem module.

3.

Check the indicated hose or module for plugging or
improper connections. If the monitor detects
problems on multiple modules or hoses, it displays
each in order as you press ACK. When all blockages
are clear, the monitor displays “OPEN.”

Loup (I) Monitor Specifications

Loup (I) Console Specifications

Fan RPM

Fan rpm is displayed when FAN is selected

The input signal is from a smart high speed sensor, Vansco part 291000.

The range is 0-9990 rpm with a resolution of 10 rpm.

The number of pulses per revolution on the fan can be set from zero (function disabled) to four.

The low alarm point is user adjustable between zero and the high rpm alarm point.

The high alarm point is user adjustable between the low alarm point and 9900 rpm.

Response time to an alarm condition is 1 second maximum.

Shaft RPM

Three shaft speeds (front, rear and auxiliary) are monitored. Shaft speeds are displayed when
the appropriate function is selected.

The input signal is from a smart shaft sensor, Vansco part 278000.

The number of pulses per revolution on the shaft can be set from zero (function disabled) to
10.

Shaft alarm generation will be delayed 30 seconds if ground speed is below 2 mph.

Bin Level
Indication

Three bin levels are monitored: front, rear and auxiliary. Bin level is displayed on a 10-segment
bar for each bin.

The input is from a smart optical bin level sensor.

There is a 15-second delay before the bin alarm is displayed

When a shaft input is disabled, the corresponding bin level input is also disabled.
