During field operation, the population/seed spacing of each row is monitored in sequence.

NOTE: When planting begins, there will be a slight hesitation before the monitor begins counting up. This is normal and occurs in order to eliminate start up errors.

When operation begins, the monitor receives signals from the radar sensor and seed sensors.

NOTE: For example, a 76 cm (30 in) row traveling approximately 27.4 m (90 ft) covers 1/200th of an acre.

During the initial 1/200th acre per row, the monitor counts up to the actual population. Each row is then monitored in sequence.

Press POP/SPACING switch (A) to display either population or seed spacing during any monitoring function (SCAN, MIN-AVG-MAX, F-AVG, or ROW SELECT).

When population is displayed, it is indicated by “POP” (B) on screen. When seed spacing is displayed, it is indicated by “SPACING” (C) on screen.
