UPM (UNIVERSAL PERFORMANCE MONITOR) Functionality

PC9047-UN-17APR06

Wheel

PC9048-UN-17APR06

Radar

PC9049-UN-17APR06

GPS

NOTE: GPS radar speed will be shown under the regular radar speed icon in APM. No GPS option will display as the radar feed is designated by the radar wire feed connection behind the command center described later in this section.

Vehicle Speed

The operator will be able to view the vehicle speed and can select radar speed (if available), GPS speed (if available), or transmission wheel speed. The display readout will switch when below 0.3 kph to 0.29 and back to 1.1 when above 1.0 kph. The figures below show the vehicle speed icons.

PC9050-UN-17APR06

Front PTO

PC9051-UN-17APR06

Rear PTO

The user is able to view both the front and rear PTO RPM (if available). The data will be displayed and rounded to the nearest 10th's digit. This option is only available if the vehicle has the front and/or rear PTO option. The figures below show the PTO icons.

PC9052-UN-17APR06

Wheel Slip

The operator is able to view the current wheel slip of the vehicle. Note that this feature will only be available if a radar sensor is installed. It will be displayed as a percentage calculated as the difference between the wheel speed and radar speed, divided by the wheel speed. The figure below shows the wheel slip icon.

PC9053-UN-17APR06

Fuel Per Hour

If available from the vehicle network, the operator is able to view the instantaneous fuel flow in gal/h (or liters/h). The output value is a computation that factors desired fuel quantity (not measured), current engine speed, cylinder size of the engine, and fuel density. This will then give the operator an idea of what range to expect for consumption.

PC9054-UN-17APR06

Fuel Per Area

The current fuel per area measurement (gal/area or liters/area) will be shown on the screen. The value is based on current fuel usage, implement/header width, and speed. The area counter is enabled when the arrow is in the down position. The figure below shows the fuel per area icon.

PC9055-UN-17APR06

Instantaneous Productivity

Instantaneous Productivity is calculated from the vehicle speed and implement/boom/header width and is expressed in terms of area/hour. If recording is off, the area/hour value will be zero. The figure below shows the instantaneous productivity icon.

PC9056-UN-17APR06

Area Counter

The operator is able to select an area counter. The counter can be reset by the operator in the totals page. The PM will use the current implement width setting, the speed (priority is GPS speed, radar speed, wheel speed), and the recording status to count hectares/acres. If recording is off, area will not accumulate. If the value exceeds 9999.9, then the counter will reset to zero. The figure below shows the area counter icon.

PC9057-UN-17APR06

Distance Counter

The user will be able to view and reset the distance counter. This counter will accumulate any time the vehicle is moving (regardless of recording status) and will use the same speed as the area counter to calculate the distance. The figure below shows the distance icon.

PC12687-UN-15JUL10

UPM Setting Screen

PC9076-UN-17APR06

APM Setting Screen

The setup screen of the PM application, shown, contains a number of major sections that include settings that the operator can adjust and/or calibrate. Each of these settings or calibration instructions are described in this section. Totals and Settings Screens will remain similar in both the APM and UPM applications. Resetting totals in APM mode will require the operator to depress and HOLD the reset button for 3 seconds.

PC9095-UN-17APR06

Radar Connection

NOTE: If the vehicle that you are operating does not have radar make sure that the radar check box is not checked or inconsistent readings and alarms will be displayed.

Radar Connection

The operator is able to select/unselect a check box if the radar is directly connected to the display or not. This connection check box will NOT display when operating APM as it will automatically default to the radar feed via the connection behind the command center.

PC9096-UN-17APR06

Implement/Header Width

The operator is able to enter and view the width of the implement/header. This value will remain in sync with the Field Doc application implement width. This parameter will be used by the PM for area and productivity calculations. The figure below shows the implement width icon.

Recording Sources for UPM / APM (Below)

The display will allow the operator to choose from an input list which source or function will indicate that recording is on or off. The PM will use this status to know when to engage the various measurements and this value will be in sync with the GreenStar Application.
