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.
Ground Speed Ground speed is displayed in mph or kph when the SPEED function is selected.
The speed is sensed from a smart shaft sensor on the clutch output shaft.
Ground speed calibration may be adjusted by changing the pulses per mile setting.
Normal speed is 2.5 to 25 mph. The display is to one decimal place. When displaying KPH, the decimal
point will flash.
A short double beep is given when the monitor detects the loss or resumption of the ground speed signal.
Loss of ground speed signal is defined as 2 mph.
Pulses per mile are variable from 500 to 9999. When the pulse rate is set to low values, the accuracy of
the area calculations and ground speed will be degraded and the rate at which the area and speed is
updated will be decreased.
Area Meter There are two area counters on the monitor. They are displayed by selecting the appropriate function. The
area is displayed in acres or hectares.
FIELD AREA is displayed on 0.1 acre or 0.1 hectare increments.
TOTAL AREA is displayed to the nearest acre or hectare.
When displaying hectares, the decimal point will flash.
Field and total area are stored in nonvolatile memory to a maximum of 999.9 and 9999 acres respectively. The
display then rolls over and begins again from 000.000 (0000). When displaying area in hectares, the display
will roll over at 4046.9 (40469).
Implement Width Implement width can only be viewed when programing parameters.
The width may be adjusted between 0 and 100 ft. in 0.1 ft. steps. When in metric mode the default setting
is 12.1 meters and the range is 0 to 30.4 m in 0.1 m steps.
Grain Flow Monitor Option The unit monitors up to 192 pin flow sensors or 112 optical flow sensors using external blockage modules.
The optical modules signal the monitor for loss of flow in any run. Blockage is indicated by module num-
ber and run number or run number only depending on the type of sensor that has been supplied with
the system.
Loup Electronics Monitor General Electrical Specifications
The monitor operates from 12 V DC nominal, 8 V minimum, 18 V maximum.
It withstands 24 V transients for one minute maximum and reverse voltage until the fuse blows. Use the
correct size fuse (3 amp F.B)
IMPORTANT: Installing an incorrectly sized fuse could result in permanent damage to monitor and void the
warranty.
Operating temperature range is from -10˚C to +40˚C.
Loup Electronics Monitor General Mechanical Specifications
The monitor case is black ABS plastic with a metal mounting bracket. The front panel overlay is polycar-
bonate.
The signal cable is 4 ft. of SJTW 18-3. It is mounted on the rear of the unit with a circular strain relief and
terminated with a 2-conductor Packard WeatherPak connector plug.
The power cable is 4 ft. of SJTW 18-2. It is mounted on the rear of the unit with a circular strain relief and
terminated with a 2-conductor Packard WeatherPak connector plug.
An internal fuse is mounted on the circuit board. The two screws behind the front panel must be removed
to access the fuse.
The printed circuit boards are coated against humidity.
An ON/OFF switch is provided on the rear panel.
