GreenStar Diagnostics

Testing Communication and Troubleshooting
1. Turn on GreenStar monitor.
2. Turn on SLV Control box and have it operating in GS Mode. (See "SWITCHING BETWEEN
OPERATING MODES")
3. Press "TONS TREATED" button on the SLV control box.
4. GS should appear in the middle of the screen.
5. This symbol "I_" should be flashing in the lower left corner of the screen. This shows GreenStar
system communicating. If this symbol is not shown, there is an issue with the GreenStar system.
Check all harnesses and connections between DS monitor and SLV control box. Check that the
ComPort 2 is selected under the machinery tab. See your John Deere Dealer.
6. This symbol "_I" should be flashing in the lower right corner of the screen. This shows SLV system
communicating. If this symbol is not shown, the SLV control box may need to be replaced.
Lost Communication
1. If communication is lost during harvesting operation: All systems were communicating and now
there is no communication from GreenStar, when looking at the SLV diagnostic screen (TONS
TREATED button). Watch the MASS FLOW reading on the GS monitor while harvesting. If MASS
FLOW is not showing material flow while harvesting, there may be a mass flow sensor failure on the
harvester. See your John Deere Dealer.
2. To continue applying inoculant in Standard SLV Mode: Power down the SLV applicator. Press
and hold the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds or until SL appears. Select an average tons per hour rate
of which you have been harvesting. Press the "Select Rate" button until your selected harvesting rate
appears. You will have to press the "Start/Stop" button to operate the applicator. This will allow you to
continue applying inoculant in the event that a replacement part for the GreenStar system is not
readily available.
Calibration
1. The control box must be in SL mode for calibration of the applicator.
2. When the control box is in the OFF position (screen is dark), press and hold the ON/Off button for 5
seconds or until "SL" is displayed on the screen.
3. Calibrate the applicator as directed in this manual on the next few pages.
4. When calibration is complete and control box is in the OFF position, press and hold the ON/OFF
button for 5 seconds or until "GS" is displayed.
Other Function of the GreenStar C500
- Auto stop if no signal from GreenStar. If there is no signal from the GreenStar System or there is a break
in communication between the two boxes the C500 will stop applying inoculant within ten seconds of this
condition and display the word (STOP). Stop will also appear if the GreenStar monitor is turned off or the main
clutch is not engaged. If you get the message of (STOP) you can go to the diagnostic screen, (tons treated
button) and see where the communication is broken. Once the problem is corrected the lights will blink and or it
will go back to the rate screen and show the current dosing rate.
- Reset any of the bottle empty or near empty indicators. Press and hold the (Tons Treated) button for
more then five seconds will reset this function.
