12.2 Alarm list

Check whether the hydraulic hoses are connected correctly to the tractor.

Check that the flow of hydraulic oil from the tractor is correctly adjusted.

Check the programmed alarm limit settings in the control unit.

Check the rotation speed sensor cable, connectors and connections.

Check the sensor function by spinning the fan wheel manually and checking the sensor LED. The LED should light up when the pin on the fan shaft passes by. The distance between the sensor and the indicator plate must be 1–2 mm. Adjust if necessary. A lit LED, however, is not necessarily any guarantee that the sensor is operating.

If the alarm only appears occasionally, this is probably because the sensor is either incorrectly adjusted or defective.

Check that the flow of hydraulic oil from the tractor is correctly adjusted.

Check the programmed alarm limit settings in the control unit.

Check that the transmission between drive wheels and seed meters is intact.

Check what alarm time has been programmed.

Check the wiring, connectors and connections.

Check the operation of the sensor.

The sensor LED should light when the toothed plate passes. The distance between the sensor and the pulse disc must be 1–2 mm. Adjust if necessary. An illuminated diode is no guarantee that the sensor is working properly.

Check the condition and installation of the toothed plate.

Error when starting the SeedEye system. Possible causes:

– One or more detectors are not connected or not powered correctly.

– One or more detectors are not registered for the relevant setting.

Check the information page to identify which detectors are issuing an alarm. Check the connection or replace the faulty detectors and readdress the system using the command in Configuration/SeedEye

Check that wiring harness between SeedEye box and SeedEye detector is undamaged.

Disconnect a distributor head to see on which distributor head the error occurs. Continue disconnecting sections on the faulty distributor head to find out which detector is faulty. Between each disconnection, a re-registration of the SeedEye sensors is made to determine whether the fault has been corrected.

The system cannot provide a reliable value

The system cannot observe and control the desired application rate in seeds/m².

Drive at a more uniform speed so that the SeedEye system is given sufficient time to make its adjustments in order to reach the required rate.

The system cannot observe and control the preferred sown amount in seeds/m² because the entered sown amount is set to values that are not supported or because the seed hopper is empty.

If a high sown amount or a relatively high sown amount is used, try switching gears from low to high or replacing the rotor with one with a higher sown amount (see 11.7.2 Setting the application rate). Remember to update the settings!

If a low sown amount or a relatively low sown amount is used, try switching gears from high to low or replacing the rotor with one with a lower sown amount (see 11.7.2 Setting the application rate) Remember to update the settings!

Adjust the entered application rate so that it corresponds to a permitted value.

Fill the seed hopper.

The SeedEye sensors have software versions which are different from one another.

Update the SeedEye software.

The software version used by the SeedEye sensors is incorrect.

Update SeedEye.
