Troubleshooting
Monitor will not power on
Probable Cause / Corrective Action
- Blown Console Fuse
- Check Fuse (located near battery connection)
- If needed, replace with 7.5A fuse maximum.
- If the fuse blows again, check all harnesses for pinches or breaks that may cause power to short to ground.
- Poor Battery Connection
- Be sure connections are clean and tight
- Inspect harness for damage
- Low Battery Voltage
- Console voltage must be at least 10v
- If low recharge or replace battery.
- Defective Console
- Contact Agri-Tronix for possible repair.
Row failure or HI/LOW alarm when row is planting properly
PROBABLE CAUSE / CORRECTIVE ACTION
- Seed sensor coated with dirt
- Clean sensor using a dry bottle brush
- Faulty sensor or harness
- Trigger sensor while observing troubleshooting LED.
- If sensor does not have LED, swap harness connection with adjacent sensor to determine if sensor or harness is damaged.
- Replace sensor or harness.
- Defective console
- Console is damaged.
- Contact your Agri-Tronix.
Hopper alarm does not sound when hopper is empty
PROBABLE CAUSE / CORRECTIVE ACTION
- Faulty sensor or harness open.
- Swap harness connection with another sensor to determine if sensor or harness is damaged. Use service screen if another sensor is not available.
- Replace sensor or repair harness.
- Defective console
- Console is damaged.
- Contact your Agri-Tronix.
Hopper alarm sounds when hopper is full
PROBABLE CAUSE / CORRECTIVE ACTION
- Faulty sensor or harness open.
- Swap harness connection with another sensor to determine if sensor or harness is damaged. Use service screen if another sensor is not available.
- Replace sensor or repair harness.
- Defective console
- Console is damaged.
- Contact your Agri-Tronix.
System voltage alarm
PROBABLE CAUSE / CORRECTIVE ACTION
- Low battery voltage
- Console voltage must be at least 10 V.
- If low, recharge or replace battery.
- Poor battery connection
- Be sure connections are clean and tight.
- Inspect harness for damage.
- Damaged harness
- Check all harnesses for pinches or breaks that may cause power or 8 V-sensor power short to ground.
Accessory alarm sounding when shaft, fan, or flow is working
PROBABLE CAUSE / CORRECTIVE ACTION
- Sensor failure
- Shaft, fan, or flow sensor not operation.
- Replace defective sensors.
- Wrong calibration number
- Sensor calibration number is incorrect.
- Check calibration number in accessory setup screen.
- Incorrect limits
- Sensor limits are incorrect.
- Check limits in accessory setup screen.
- Defective console
- Console is damaged.
- Contact your Agri-Tronix.
Ground speed alarm sounds with forward movement
PROBABLE CAUSE / CORRECTIVE ACTION
- Ground speed sensor failure.
- No ground speed sensor is detected, or planting is detected on at least one row with no ground speed.
- Replace faulty ground speed sensor.
- Console Failure
- Console is damaged.
- Contact your Agri-Tronix.
Ground speed high alarm sounding
PROBABLE CAUSE / CORRECTIVE ACTION
- Ground speed alarm set too low.
- Set ground speed alarm limit higher or to zero to disable.
- Incorrect ground speed constant
- Ground speed sensor has not been calibrated, RADAR sensor angle has changed, or incorrect sensor constant is entered.
- Use SPEED, AREA, DISTANCE mode to determine if speed is correct.
- If incorrect, recalibrate speed constant (Speed Setup Screen).
Self-test alarm
PROBABLE CAUSE / CORRECTIVE ACTION
- Seed sensor coated with dirt.
- Clean sensor using dry bottle brush
- Faulty sensor or harness
- Trigger sensor and observe troubleshooting LED. If sensor does not have LED, swap harness connection with adjacent sensor to determine if sensor or harness is damaged.
- Replace sensor or harness.
- Console failure
- Console is damaged.
- Contact your Agri-Tronix.
