output during navigation or data
entry to indicate an illegal or

Cancel key.

Hopper 1 And 2 Alarms
ROW FAILURE
A row failure alarm occurs when the console detects less than 2 seeds per
second through the seed tube. This may also result from a poor or faulty
connection to the seed sensor harness. This is a solid-on alarm, as shown
in (Figure 29), indicating a problem has been detected and is silenced by
pressing the Alarm Cancel key.
Once the Alarm Cancel key is pressed, the alarm will not sound again
unless:
1. Planting condition returns to a normal state and falls again below 2
seeds per second.
2. Power on/off sequence occurs before problem is corrected.
3. An All Rows Failure alarm occurs and then the console again detects
less than 2 seeds per second through the seed tube.
