SECTION ON/OFF
The Console has three Section On/Off toggle switches on top
of the Console. The toggle switches turn Drill Sections ON
and OFF directly and also signal the Console which Sections
are on or off.
Sections are NOT under software control and CAN NOT be
turned on and off with VRA control.
When in the RATE mode then the Number Icons (1, 2, 3) will
indicate which Sections are turned on. However, if a Section
has zero Rows/Section then the icon for that Section will
remain off (except during calibration) even if the toggle
switch is accidentally turned on.
If using a multi-section adaptor module to control more
than one section, the output of the switches is used by the
module to determine if a flow signal should be present. If the
module senses a Section On signal, a Flow signal is expected
from the corresponding section.
NOTE: To avoid having unused sections cause a No Flow
or Emergency Stop condition, the unused section switches
must remain off.
Turning all used Sections off will not select the Hold mode.
Distance will continue to operate but Area counters will not
change since the Width is zero with all used Sections off.
When all used Sections are turned off the Console will stop
accumulating Weight even if a Seed Shaft (flow) signal is
present.
Turning all used Sections off may or may not turn the PWM
Valve off (stop hydraulic flow) depending on the setting
of the AUTO SHUT OFF cal factor (see AUTO SHUT OFF
information on page 21).
Turning all used Sections off will disable Automatic Control
(even if PWM output continues).
WIRELESS INPUT
An optional Wireless Remote Module can be added to
provide Wireless Run, Hold and +/- functions.
Operation (cont)
Console Switches and Inputs
BIN LEVEL SENSOR INPUT
When the Bin Level Sensor input goes low, the Seed Bin
is near empty and the Console will begin to flash LL
(alternate with normal display data).
When used with a single Section Drill (single Seed Bin) the Bin
Level Sensor drives the Bin Level Sensor input directly.
When used with a three Section Drill, then an external
Module is used to multiplex up to three Bin Level Sensors
(three separate Seed Bins). When any one of the three Bin
Level Sensor inputs are low, the Module will signal the
console flash LL.
SEED SIGNAL Flow INPUT
When used with a single Section Drill (single Seed Bin) there
is only one Seed Meter drive shaft. The Sensor on that shaft
drives the Seed Signal input directly.
When used with a three Section Drill there are three Bins and
three Seed Meter drive shafts and they can be turned on and
off independently. In that case an external Module is used
to select one of the three possible Seed signals. The Module
will normally use the Seed Signal from Section 1 but if that
Section is turned off then the Module will automatically
select one of the other two Seed Signals (which ever is still
running).
It should be noted that Seed Signal (flow) input does not
count Seeds directly and blocked Seed tubes or empty bins
(no Seeds) will not be detected.
NOTE: The Low Bin Not Low input is used to provide a
warning that the Seed Bin is empty.
PWM OUTPUT
The Console is designed to drive a Proportional Flow Control
Valve. The PWM duty cycle will vary from the Min PWM to
Max PWM calibrate values.
The Proportional Valve controls the hydraulic flow in 1 to 3
Hydraulic Motors so it can be used with 1 to 3 Section Grain
Drills or Fertilizer Applicators.
NOTE: All hydraulic Motors MUST BE plumbed in series so
they all rotate at the same speed so all Sections dispense
the same amount of seed per revolution of the Seed drive
shaft.
