Warning Messages

WARNINGs are generated by the individual modules and Green Star Display alerting the operator to a serious condition or "situation" which has occurred of which the operator needs to be informed. Typically the operator should stop and rectify the "condition or situation" causing the WARNING before proceeding. WARNINGs are displayed as full page displays. The title displayed in the top display section is "WARNING". Examples of WARNINGs would be the indication of a planter row(s) not planting or ground speed at zero when planter is still planting (ground speed sensor failure detection). WARNINGs are the highest level of visual alarms presented to the operator. When a WARNING is cancelled without the “condition or situation” causing it being corrected, a caution is displayed on the bottom line of the display as a continued alert to the “situation”. If more than one is occurring at the same time, key G can be used to toggle between WARNING alerts.

CAUTIONs are generated by the individual modules and Green Star Display alerting the operator to a function which is out of limits or a "situation" is or has occurred of which the operator needs to be informed. The caution message is displayed on line “G”. Examples of CAUTIONs would be the indication of a planter row's population outside of the HI/LO range specified, or a low Hopper Level indication, or a "WARNING" for which the operator has acknowledged the "WARNING" reducing it to a CAUTION message, which is then displayed on line “G”. CAUTIONs are the middle level of visual alarms presented to the operator.

Advisories are operator error messages displayed on line “G” telling the operator that an incorrect "action" has occurred such as entering a value which is out of the acceptable range for that constant. They are the lowest level of visual alarms presented to the operator.
