See “Acremeter Operations” on page2 of this manual. a. The electronic acremeter is compatible with all drills having a main or transfer 7/8 hex drive shaft on any section of the drill. The shaft must be before any Drive Type, gearbox, lower, range, transmission or upper variable sprockets, and have only fixed sprockets and chains between the drive wheel and the shaft. ©Copyright 2016 Printed 2019/01/21 194-074M Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 2 Electronic Acremeter Acremeter Operations A battery-operated electronic acre counter is supplied with the drill. The display module for the system is normally on the front face of the main toolbar near the left gauge wheel. The acremeter calculates and displays the field acres and total acres accumulated. The meter counts rotations of the main ground drive shaft before the clutch. The meter tallies all movements 1 with the drill unfolded, whether planting or not. The counter operates in one of two modes • In sleep mode, the display 1 is blank, and the counter is accumulating acres. Sleep mode is entered if a button is not pressed for 20 seconds. If a passcode is set, it must be re-entered to change protected function values. • In entry mode, the display is on, and the operator can 2 enter values. To access entry mode, press the 3 4 button 2. If you continue to press the button, the acre counter cycles through the available functions. The LED light above the functions indicates which Figure2 34776 function is selected. Acremeter Console The functions are: FIELD Field Acres (always unprotected) TOTAL Total Acres (passcode protectable) PULSES Pulses per Mile (passcode protectable) WIDTH Swath Width (passcode protectable) P-WORDPassword (enable/set/change/clear) Note: U = USA units or acres E = European units or hectares Values are entered by pressing the UP 3 and DOWN 4 arrow buttons. Holding a button automatically increments that value. Long holds increment faster than short holds. Pressing both buttons simultaneously is used to reset some values to0. • To change modes press and hold all 3 switches at the same time. When pressed, the current mode will scroll across the screen. “U” is for USA units, “E” is for European (metric) units. When you have held all 3switches for 5 seconds the mode will change. This means you can check the mode at any time by pressing the 3 keys and releasing them before 5seconds has passed without changing anything. Note: When you change modes, all the defaults are reset to factory values so these will need to be set properly for the machine. Also area accumulated in one mode is not converted. It is reset to 0. 194-074M 2019/01/21 Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Installation Instructions 3 Field Acres Refer to Figure3 Press the button until the “FIELD” LED is lit. The digits indicate the acres covered since the field acre counter was last cleared to zero. To clear the field acre count, depress the UP and DOWN buttons for 2 seconds. Note: If a passcode is set, it must be entered to clear the total acre count. Field acres count in tenths of an acre up to 9999.9 acres. Figure3 34813 Field Acres Display Total Acres Refer to Figure4 Press the button until both the “FIELD” and “TOTAL” LEDs are lit. The digits indicate the acres covered since the total acre counter was last cleared to zero. To clear the total acre count, press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons for 2 seconds. Note: If a passcode is set, it must be entered to clear the total acre count. Total acres count from .1 to 99999 acres.

The number in the display indicates how many pulses are generated for every 400 feet (122 meters in “E” mode) driven. Note: If a passcode is set, it must be entered to adjust the pulses per 400 feet (122 meters) of travel. There are two methods to enter the pulses: known pulse value and calibrating pulses per 400 feet (122 meters) of travel. Known Pulses Values Refer to Figure5 1. If you know the number, select it using the UP and DOWN buttons. When you press the button, the controller accepts the number in the display as the new pulses per 400 feet (122 meters). EXAMPLE: Approximate pulses per 400 feet (122 meters) for 2S-2600, 3S-3000, 3S-4000 and 3S-5000:17.

Installation Instructions 5 Calibrating Pulses per 400 Feet of Travel Note: Calibration is not recommended for the 2S-2600, 3S-3000, 3S-4000, or 3S-5000. Any value other than 17 pulses per 400 feet results in reduced accuracy of area measurement. Refer to Figure6 The acremeter can count pulses, and if the distance driven is known, the pulses per 400 feet of travelb may be entered. Run the test with the drill unfolded, and the openers raised. Pulses Per Mile Note: If you have documentation yet from a past design of acremeter listing the pulse value stated as pulses per mile, divide that value by 13.2 to arrive at a new number. (5280 feet per mile/400 ft = 13.2). If you get a fraction round up to the next full digit for the best accuracy. PulsesCounted PerMile Pulses Per 400 ft of Travel = --------------------------------------------------------- 13.2 Pulses Per 400 Feet Figure6 34778 To calibrate the pulses per 400 feet of travel, press and Count Pulses Per 400 feet of Travel hold the UP and DOWN buttons until “0” appears in the PULSES display. The acre counter is now ready to count shaft rotations. Enter the tractor cab and drive 400 feet. Press the button to wake up the acre counter. The “PULSES” LED will again blink. The number displayed is the pulses per 400 feet. Press the button to accept the setting. The “PULSES” LED will stop blinking and remain on. b. For more accurate calibration, operate for some multiple of 400 feet (say 1600 ft) divide the count by that multiple and round off. 2019/01/21 194-074M Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 6 Electronic Acremeter Width To correctly calculate acres planted, the acremeter needs the swath width of the drill. Note: If a passcode has been set, it must be entered to adjust WIDTH. Refer to Figure7 Press the button until the “WIDTH” LED is lit. The number displayed is the swath width of your implement in feet (the span between end row units, plus one row unit spacing). To adjust the width, press the UP and DOWN buttons. The width can be adjusted from .1 to 99.9 feet, in tenths of a foot.

Installation Instructions 9 Passcode The “P-WORD” function allows you to protect: - the total acre count, - pulses per 400 feet and - width settings with a 4-digit passcode. This prevents accidental and malicious changes to those settings. As provided by the factory, the passcode feature is disabled, and you can modify those function values at any time. Press the button until the “P-WORD” LED is lit. The display reads either: “Ent” (enter passcode) or “dIS” (passcode disabled) Enable and Set Passcode The P-WORD display must show “dIS” in order to enable and set a passcode on a unit which presently has no passcode (see below for changing an existing passcode). Refer to Figure8 Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select a passcode in Figure8 34777 the range 0001 through 9999 (0000 disables). Password Presently Disabled Press button to accept the passcode. If the module enters sleep mode before you press the button, the passcode is not set. Note: The protected function values remain unprotected until the next time the module enters sleep mode. Using a Passcode If the P-WORD display shows “Ent”, a passcode must be entered, or the protected function values cannot be changed. Refer to Figure9 Enter the passcode using the UP and DOWN buttons. When your passcode is displayed, press the button to test the passcode. If the passcode is correct, you can change the protected settings. The protected settings are unprotected, and the password remains viewable in the P-WORD display function, until the module next enters sleep mode. When button is next pressed, the passcode is again required to change protected settings. If the entered passcode is not correct, the protected settings cannot be changed. When the “P-WORD” function is selected again, “Ent” appears in the display.
