The touch pad on the Machine Performance Monitor can be used in order to program various functions into the Electronic Monitoring Center (EMC). Operating functions can be programmed. For example, the width of the implement can be programmed into the EMC. Service functions can also be programmed. For example, engine oil changes and calibration of the transmission can be programmed into the EMC. The operator and service functions are available by entering into 1 of 12 modes through the touch pad on the Machine Performance Monitor.

Only operating functions are discussed in this section. Refer to the Service Manual for information on service functions.

Accessing the Operating Mode




Illustration 2g00363834

All operating functions are accessed in mode 1. In order to enter mode 1, turn the engine start switch to the ON position. Next, hold down "SET UP/SELECT" switch (1) for 3 seconds until a beep is heard. The EMC has 12 modes. The EMC is in the first mode when "- - -1" (2) is displayed on the Machine Performance Monitor. See Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, RENR1781 for detailed information on mode 2 through mode 12.

Note: Mode 1 can also be accessed while the engine is running.

The following functions can be accessed in mode 1:

  • Implement Width

  • Setting Total Accumulated Area

  • Slip Alarm with a ground speed sensor (if equipped)

  • Service Indicator l

  • Service Indicator II

  • Ground Speed Calibration

  • Setting Preset Area

  • ON/OFF Display for Fault Codes

Setting Implement Width




Illustration 3g00363840

Press and hold "SET UP/SELECT" switch (1) again for three seconds in order to enter mode 1 and the display for implement width. Release the switch when you hear a beep. The display for implement width is shown in four digits. The display will appear as "000.0" feet or "00.00" meters (3). The left hand digit (4) will be flashing. "IMP WIDTH CAL" (5) will also be displayed. An "FT" or "METERS" will also be displayed. The letters "FT" (6) indicate that the implement width is measured in feet. The word "METERS" (6) indicates that the implement width is measured in meters.

Note: When you are programming the EMC, use "DIGIT SELECT" switch (7) and "DIGIT SET" switch (8) in order to change the value of a flashing digit. Pressing the "DIGIT SET" switch (8) increases the value of the flashing digit. The value that is shown will cycle between zero and the highest digit that is available for that function. Pressing the "DIGIT SELECT" switch (7) will cause the next digit to the right to begin flashing. When the right hand digit is flashing, pressing the "DIGIT SELECT" switch (7) will select the left hand digit.

Note: The "DIGIT SET" and "DIGIT SELECT" switches can be used in order to reset the values that are displayed to zero. The "START/STOP" switch (9) provides a simpler method for resetting values to zero. Press and hold the "START/STOP" switch (9) for three seconds until a beep is heard. This procedure can also be used to reset the value that is displayed to zero before entering new values.

For example, in order to set an implement width of 12.5 feet, a display of 012.5 is required. Press and hold the "START/STOP" switch for 3 seconds in order to reset the display to all zeroes. Next, use the "DIGIT SELECT" and "DIGIT SET" switches in order to change the display to 012.5.

Note: The area that is measured will only be accurate if there is no overlap from the previous pass. In order to compensate for overlap, subtract the estimated overlap from the actual width of the implement when you enter the value.

When the desired implement width is displayed, press the "SET UP/SELECT" switch in order to enter the implement width into memory. If the machine is equipped with a ground speed sensor, the display will change to the "%SLIP alarm". If the machine is not equipped with a ground speed sensor, the display will change to the "SERVICE l".

Setting the Slip Alarm




Illustration 4g00363846

Press "SET UP/SELECT" switch (1) in order to log the implement width into memory. The "%SLIP" (10) will be displayed and "ALARM" (11) will be displayed. Also, "CAL" (12) and a display that is shown in two digits (13) will appear.

Note: If the machine is not equipped with a ground speed sensor, the slip alarm will be omitted. The Service Indicator l will be displayed instead.

Use "DIGIT SET" switch (8) and "DIGIT SELECT" switch (7) in order to change the value to the desired setting. If the slip alarm is not required, set the display to "00".

Note: When the value for the slip alarm is set too low, the alarm may sound while you turn the machine.

The word "SERVICE" will be flashing in the lower portion of the central display while the engine start switch is in the ON position. "SERVICE" will flash for the next 10 hours of operation unless you complete the service and you reset the display. The operator can program the EMC in order to display a service indicator for two different intervals.

The letter "l" (14) and a display that is three digits (15) will be displayed in the lower portion of the central display. This corresponds to the next service interval that was previously entered into the memory. For example, when "l_025" is displayed the operator will be alerted. The service that is required should be completed.

Note: Resetting the display to zero will disable the Service Indicator l.

In order to change the interval for the service indicator, use the "DIGIT SET" switch and use the "DIGIT SELECT" switch. See "Setting Implement Width" for more information on using the "DIGIT SET" switch and using the "DIGIT SELECT" switch.

Setting the Service Indicator ll




Illustration 6g00363876

Press "SET UP/SELECT" switch (1) in order to log the setting for Service Indicator l into memory. Next, the Service Indicator ll will be displayed.

Note: If the machine is equipped with a ground speed sensor, the system will reset the number when speeds above 10 mph are reached. Perform the 400 ft calibration if the number resets to a value that is significantly different from 29.3.

400 Foot Calibration




Illustration 9g00630794

Note: If symbol (21) appears a failure has occurred in the calibration procedure. Repeat the calibration procedure.

A 122 m (400 ft) course can be used as an alternate method in order to calibrate the ground speed. This method will typically achieve the most accurate ground speed reading. This method should be performed if the previous method does not work correctly. In order to perform this method, use the following steps:

  1. Ensure that the EMC is in the calibration mode for ground speed.

  1. Lay out a 122 m (400 ft) course which is straight and relatively flat.

  1. Drive the machine to the start of the course. Press "START/STOP" switch (9) .

  1. Drive the machine to the end of the course and press the "START/STOP" switch (9) again. The Electronic Monitoring Center will store a calibration number for accurate ground speed.

    Note: If the machine is equipped with a ground speed sensor, the calibration number that is stored may be slightly modified by the system. This occurs once a speed of 10 mph is reached.

  1. Press the "SET UP/SELECT" switch (1) in order to display the Area Accumulator.
