Performance Monitor

PC8658-UN-05AUG05

BPM Performance Monitor Icon

The GS2 1800 Display comes standard with Basic Performance Monitor (BPM), which provides productivity information such as vehicle speeds, acre counters, and fuel efficiency data.

BPM is disabled on late model John Deere vehicles and is replaced by a feature called Advanced Performance Monitor (APM). Check your vehicle’s operator’s manual to determine whether your machine is compatible with APM or not.

APM Performance Monitor Icon

APM is very similar to BPM, but provides additional vehicle statistics such as engine and transmission oil pressure.

The available functions may vary depending on vehicle platform. Reference your vehicle Operator’s Manual for Advanced Performance Monitor information. Units may be set to Metric, US, or Imperial in Display Settings. All functions available in BPM are also available in APM.

Performance Monitor allows you to monitor the following real-time functions:

PC9047-UN-17APR06

Wheel Speed

PC9048-UN-17APR06

Radar Speed

PC9049-UN-17APR06

GPS Speed

With APM, GPS Speed will use the Radar speed icon.

PC9050-UN-17APR06

Front PTO

PC9051-UN-17APR06

Rear PTO

PC9052-UN-17APR06

Wheel Slip (%)

Wheel Slip will only be available if a radar sensor is installed. Wheel Slip is calculated as the difference between the wheel speed and radar speed, divided by the wheel speed

PC9053-UN-17APR06

Fuel Per Hour

Fuel Per Hour is not available on all vehicles.

PC9054-UN-17APR06

Fuel Per Area

Fuel Per Area is not available on all vehicles.

PC9055-UN-17APR06

Instantaneous Productivity (Area / Hour)

Instantaneous Productivity is zero when Recording is off.

PC9056-UN-17APR06

Area Counter

Area is calculated from the implement/header width setting, the speed (priority is GPS speed, radar speed, wheel speed), and the recording status. If Recording is off, area will not accumulate. If the value exceeds 9999.9, the counter will reset to zero.

PC9057-UN-17APR06

Distance Counter

The Distance 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.
