Section 3 - Operation

EIC - Tractor Performance Monitor (TPM)

Metric display (hectares), designated by METERS legend starts to accumulate in increments of ..01 hectares.. When 100..0 hectares are reached, area accumulation continues in increments of 0.1 hectares until 1000 is reached.. The display will then accumulate whole hectares.. When 9999 hectares are reached, the display will reset to zero..

With AREA selected, area accumulation can be reset to zero by holding down the START/STOP button for three seconds until a “beep” is heard from the audible alarm..

NOTE: If the radar option is not installed, area calculations are based on axle speed and are subject to inaccuracies caused by wheel slip that may be present.

Wheel Slip (with Radar Option)

Touch the % SLIP selector button (1).. The “% SLIP” legend (2) will display together with a two-digit slip value (3) in the main TPM display.. The slip value is detected by the comparison of theoretical ground speed (axle rotation sensor) with true ground speed (radar sensor)..

WARNING: The radar ground speed sensor emits a low intensity microwave signal which will not cause any ill effects in normal use. Although the signal intensity is low, do not look directly into the face of the sensor while in operation so as to avoid eye damage.

Slip Alarm (with Radar Option)

A slip alarm point may be entered - see “EIC Programming..” When wheel slip exceeds the value entered, the alarm will sound for one second.. If wheel slip is selected, the “% SLIP” (2) legend will be displayed.. In addition, the “ALARM” (4) legend will flash and continue to flash until wheel slip is reduced below the preset level..

Battery Voltage

Touch the SELECT button (5) until the “VOLTS” legend (6) is displayed together with a digital display of battery voltage (7) to the nearest tenth volt..
