Loup II Monitor Operation
The Great Plains Drill Monitor by Loup Electronics is
designed to provide fan speed, shaft rpm, hopper level,
and seed flow information for conventional and air drills.
This manual section covers operation and calibration.
See also “Install Loup II Console” on page 115 and
“Initial Loup-II Setup” on page 116.
All functions are covered in this section but may not be
applicable to your system configuration.
The monitor is capable of monitoring and displaying:
• Ground speed (implement-mounted speed sensor)
• Fan speed
• Two shaft speed RPM’s (Front and Rear)
• Seed Flow (up to 112 sensors can be connected)
• Field Area
• Total area
• Two Hoppers (displayed as bar graph display)
Normal Start-up
For everyday operation the Great Plains drill monitor
remembers all settings that have been saved from the
previous use.
Refer to Figure 34
To turn on the console, press the power button in the
lower right hand corner.
The rocker switch to the right of the console is for
enabling or disabling air cart clutch power. It can be left
off for most console setup operations. It needs to be
on for speed calibration (page 57), and needs to be
off for NTA folding (see NTA Operator Manual).
“Wait For Sensors to Complete Calibration” appears.
During this time the monitor is checking all connected
sensors to ensure they are working properly. Once this
“self-test” is complete the monitor displays the normal
operate screen (next page).
