Programming the Acremeter

•
If your drill was equipped with this acremeter from
production, it will have been supplied already
programmed.
•
You will need to program your new acremeter if it is
not preprogrammed to your drill or if you ordered it
and install it yourself. See "Acremeter Operations"
on page 2 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.

Summary of Contents for GREAT PLAINS 118-260A

  • Page 1: General Information

    Installation • If installation is necessary, order the appropriate kit (see “Acremeter Kits”, page 33 through page 39). • Consult your Great Plains dealer for specific ordering information. • Each acremeter upgrades one drill. • Installation instructions start at “Acremeter Installa- tion”...
  • Page 2 Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 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.
  • Page 3 Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Installation Instructions Field Acres Refer to Figure 3 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.
  • Page 4 Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Electronic Acremeter Pulses per 400 Feet of Travel Press the button until the “PULSES” LED is lit. The number in the display indicates how many pulses are generated for every 400 feet (122 meters in “E” mode) driven.
  • Page 5 Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Installation Instructions 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.
  • Page 6 Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 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 Figure 7 Press the button until the “WIDTH”...
  • Page 7 Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Installation Instructions Drill Width Charts Model Spacing Width 2N-2410-2810 10 in. 23.3 feet (7.1 meters) 2N-2410-3875 7.5 in. 23.8 feet (7.9 meters) 2N-3010-3610 10 in. 30.0 feet (9.1 meters) 2N-3010-4875 7.5 in. 30.0 feet (9.1 meters)

  • Page 9 Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Installation Instructions 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.
  • Page 10 Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Electronic Acremeter Changing the Passcode To change an existing passcode, first enter the existing password as described in ““Using a Passcode””. Refer to Figure 10 While still in the P-WORD function display, select a new passcode using the UP and DOWN buttons.

  • Page 11: Battery Replacement

    Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Installation Instructions Battery Replacement The battery operated acre counter uses 3 AA-size alkaline batteries. Although the batteries typically last between 5 and 10 years, they should be inspected annually, as low batteries can leak corrosive chemicals, and damage the electronic acremeter.
  • Page 12 Great Plains Mfg., Inc. Electronic Acremeter Reference Information Accuracy Considerations Many factors can affect the accuracy of your electronic acremeter: • Tire Size and Tire Pressure • Seeding Overlap The area reported by the meter will be higher than the actual field area if passes overlap.
