So that the EMC may calculate the work done, the current working width of the implement must be entered into the memory.

Procedure to Set Implement Width

Enter the operator calibration mode (Mode 1).
1. Turn the key start switch from "OFF" to "ON".
1. Press and hold "Setup/Select Key" (4) for three seconds.
1. Press the digit set key (2) until readout (1) shows "_ _ _ 1".
1. Press and hold "Setup/Select Key" (4) for three seconds in order to enter Mode 1. Release the key within two seconds after entering Mode 1. If the key is held for more than three seconds after you enter Mode 1, the value for the ground speed calibration may be inadvertently reset to an incorrect value.

Select the function for "Set Implement Width". When this function is selected the indicator "IMP WIDTH CAL" (7) appears on the MPM. Repeatedly press the "Setup/Select" key (4) until the indicator shows "IMP WIDTH CAL" (7). See illustration 1.

The value for implement width is a four digit number that is shown on readout (1). Depending on the setting for the units, the value will appear as "000.0 FT" or "00.00 METERS". The left most digit of readout (1) will be flashing. Use the "E/M" key (6) to change units.

Enter the desired value. The value of each digit is changed one at a time. The flashing digit identifies the digit that is going to be changed. Pressing digit set key (2) increases the numerical value of the flashing digit. Pressing digit select key (3) causes the next digit to flash. The digit can now be set by using the digit set key (2).
For example, in order to set an implement working width of 12.5 feet, a display of "012.5" is required:
1. Press the digit select key (3) in order to cause the digit, which is oriented second from the left, to flash.
1. Press digit set key (2) in order to change the flashing digit from 0 to 1.
1. Use the digit select key (3) and digit set key (2) to change the remaining digits until "012.5" is displayed.
  Note: The area that is measured will only be accurate if there is no implement overlap when the machine turns around at the end of a run to make another pass. Alternatively, the implement width that is entered into the computer memory may be reduced by the estimated amount of overlap.
  Note: If the implement width is set to a value of "000.0", then the functions in the Machine Performance Monitor for area per hour and the area accumulated will not operate.

With the desired value for implement width present, press the "Setup/Select" key (4). This enters the implement width into memory and advances the display to the next function. For machines equipped with radar, the next function is the Set Slip Alarm function. For machines not equipped with radar, the next function is the Set Service Alert One function. To return the EMC to normal operation, press "Exit/Mode Key" (6) two times.

Description

Show/hide table




Illustration 3	g00565048
Display shows that a service interval has elapsed at 436.0 hours. (9) Service indicator

There are two service alert indicators. Each service alert indicator can be programmed to notify the operator when a selected interval of time has elapsed. This interval of time (as measured by the hour meter) can correspond to a periodic maintenance schedule. For example, the operator may want to be notified every 50 hours that minor service is due and notified every 250 hours that major service is due. (Service Alert One = 50, Service Alert Two = 250.)

During normal machine operation, the hour meter will reach the selected service interval. When this happens, the indicator "SERVICE" (9) flashes next to the hourmeter symbol. The indicator "SERVICE" (9) will continue to flash for 10 hours of operation or until the display is reset. See the following procedure.

In order for the operator to determine which service interval has elapsed, the operator must enter "Operator Calibration Mode" (Mode 1). The display must be advanced until the indicator "SERVICE" (9) is flashing. At this time, the previously selected time (50 or 250) will be showing on the readout. Service Alert One or Service Alert Two is identified by the number of segments illuminated on the left digit of the readout. Service Alert One is identified by ONE segment on the left most digit. Service Alert Two is identified by TWO segments on the left most digit.

The operator can program zero, one or two service alert indicators. Entering a value of "000" will disable a service alert indicator.

When a new time interval is selected, the countdown begins when the new interval is saved. Saving occurs when "Setup/Select Key" (4) is pressed.
