Rows must be turned ON for a warning to occur. (See Turn Rows On and Off in this section).

When the monitor detects any row sensor with seed population counts below the lower limit. The monitor displays LO WARN, sounds an alarm, and only shows the row number giving the reading. The alarm sounds every 1/500th of a hectare (1/200th of an acre), that the row covers, as long as the population is out of range. When setting low population limits, subtract 50 percent from desired population for the starting value. When actual planting population is displayed, LO WARN limit can be changed to a closer tolerance. The closer the tolerance is set to actual population, the more frequently the alarm sounds.

When planting volume metered or small seeds, kg/ha (lb/acre) values must be converted into seeds/ha (acre) values for monitor entry. Refer to planting rate chart information in operator's manual for average number of seeds/kg (lb). To determine average seeds/ha (acre), multiply average seeds/kg (lb) by kg/ha (lb/acre) rate.

  1. Press SETUP SELECT switch (A) until display shows LO WARN in left-hand column.

  2. NOTE: Each whole number represents 1000 seeds. In example shown, 027.0 represents a 27 000 population limit.

    Press DIGIT SELECT switch (B) until triangle is below the number to change.

  3. Touch 0-9 switch (C) until the target number is displayed.
