Alarms and Limits Setup Page

The Alarms and Limits Setup Screen allows the operator to adjust the levels at which cautions and alarms occur for each of the SeedStar™ XP monitor features.

For Set-Point Pneumatic Down Force controlled machines Target Margin must be set and adjusted from this screen.

If any of the monitored values go beyond the alarm set point, the bar graph and background of the numerical display changes to red.

Enter “0” in any of the alarm set point boxes to disable the alarm for that function.
