Sensor Locations
The Loup Electronics monitor is designed for use with
Great Plains air drills. The monitor is packaged in a high
impact plastic housing with a mounting bracket for tractor
installation.
The system is capable of continuously monitoring ground
speed, fan speed, meter-shaft speeds, field area, total
area and bin level. Using optional modules and sensors,
the system can also monitor for blockage in one-inch seed
hoses.
The system warns you when these functions are not oper-
ating as specified. You can adjust alarm points and various
system settings, including alarm point for low fan speed,
alarm point for high fan speed, implement width, English
or metric units and number and type of blockage sensors
connected to the unit.
Installation and Setup
Refer to Figure 4-1.
1. Install the Monitor Control Box
a. Mount control box (1) in a convenient location in
the tractor cab. The control box must be installed
where it will not be exposed to high levels of dust
or precipitation. The mounting bracket can be re-
moved to ease installation.
b. Attach the black lead (2) to the battery ground and
red lead (3) to +12V DC.
c. Connect the 12-pin connector lead (4) to the cart
harness (5). Coil up and secure any excess wire.
Leave enough slack for turning and uneven
terrain. Be very careful to allow enough
wire slack on articulated tractors.
2. Install Implement Sensors
a. Unplug all sensors from
the harness. Sensor
locations are shown
in Figure 4-1.
b. Reset system by
turning the
monitor on
while hold-
ing down
the ACK, MODE and down-arrow buttons at the
same time. When monitor display reads KEY
OFF, release the buttons.
NOTE: If the monitor does not display the KEY
OFF message, release buttons, turn monitor off
and try again to reset the system.
c. Plug sensors into the harness in the requested or-
der. The monitor readout will flash MISSING and
the sensor that should be plugged in. As the re-
quested sensor is plugged into the harness, the
monitor will double beep, acknowledging the sen-
sor. The monitor will then request the next sensor.
Refer to Figure 4-1 for sensor locations.
The monitor will request sensors as follows:
•
Fan Speed
•
Front Metering Shaft
•
Front Bin Level
•
Rear Metering Shaft
•
Rear Bin Level
•
Ground Speed
•
Flow 1-7
When the monitor requests Rear Metering Shaft
and Rear Bin Level sensors, press ACK to skip in-
stallation of these sensors.
