6.Screw on TS420 sensor cap.

7.Apply power to the unit and allow the sensor to stabilize prior to initial calibration. The stabilization time should be at least one (1) hour for all sensors.

8.Calibrate new sensor (see Section 4.3).

NOTE - The TS420 will stay in fault anytime the sensor is removed. Calibration is required to reset the TS420.

4.6Sensor Care and Maintenance

If power is removed from the TS420 for periods greater than one hour, the sensor should be removed from the TS420 and placed in the original storage container shipped with the sensor. Storage of the sensor in the original container guards against sensor contamination from solvents, lubricant humidity, etc.

NOTE - Do not short the sensor pins.

In the case of long intervals of non-use, the sensors should be stored as described above in a cool, dry place, preferably refrigerated between 0 and 20°C.

In all cases, after the sensor has been removed from the TS420, the cap should be replaced on to the TS420 body and the gas port taped off to prevent any corrosion damage to the exposed socket pins.

4.7Fault Codes & The Remedies

The TS420 has self-diagnostics incorporated into the microprocessor program. If a fault is detected, the output signal will drop to 3.5mA and the MODE LCD will be flashing to indicate the fault.

When a calibration fault has occurred and has been corrected, the unit will stay in fault until it has been successfully calibrated.

The Fault Codes are:

Fault (No Power): Neither LCD will be on. Output signal will be 0.0mA.

Remedy: Check wiring, ensure power is applied to unit.

Fault (System): The “MODE” LCD will be flashing. Output signal will be 3.5mA.

Remedy: Attempt recalibrating the detector. If the fault persists, replace the sensor and after sensor has stabilized (one (1) hour minimum). Recalibrate. If fault still persists, contact factory or your sales representative.

MANTS420, TS420 specifications

The GM TS420 and MANTS420 represent a breakthrough in agricultural technology tailored for enhancing both efficiency and productivity in farming operations. As versatile solutions, they are designed to meet the demands of contemporary agricultural practices.

One of the primary features of the GM TS420 is its powerful engine, which ensures robust performance across various terrains. The engine is specifically engineered to provide optimal fuel efficiency while minimizing emissions, aligning with modern environmental standards. This is crucial for farmers focused on maintaining a sustainable operation while reducing operational costs.

The MANTS420, on the other hand, stands out for its advanced precision farming technologies. Equipped with cutting-edge GPS and navigation systems, the MANTS420 allows for precise planting and harvesting. This precision is essential for maximizing yields and minimizing waste, as it enables farmers to apply inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides more effectively and economically.

Both models feature a user-friendly interface, which streamlines operation and reduces the learning curve for new users. The touchscreen displays provide real-time data on machine performance, field conditions, and crop status, allowing farmers to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.

In terms of durability, the GM TS420 and MANTS420 are built with high-quality materials designed to withstand the rigors of agricultural environments. Their sturdy chassis and high-ground clearance enhance maneuverability in challenging landscapes, making them ideal for diverse farming tasks.

Furthermore, the technology in both units includes telemetry and remote monitoring capabilities. This allows farmers to track performance metrics and receive maintenance alerts, minimizing downtimes and optimizing machine longevity.

The implement compatibility of the GM TS420 and MANTS420 is another noteworthy characteristic. Both models can accommodate a wide range of attachments, making them versatile tools for various agricultural tasks, from tilling and plowing to seeding and harvesting.

In conclusion, the GM TS420 and MANTS420 embody the synthesis of advanced engineering and technology in the agricultural sector. Their combination of robust power, precision farming capabilities, ease of use, durability, and versatility make them indispensable assets for modern farmers seeking to enhance productivity while adhering to sustainable practices.
