If sensor communication alarms appear for all sensors on your Kinze Measuring Instruments (no bar graphs, blinking row numbers), the issue might stem from a faulty monitor, a break in the harness just after the monitor, or a dirty/corroded connector. Try replacing the monitor, inspecting and repairing the harness, or cleaning the connector.
Why are there bad monitor values being displayed on my Kinze KPM II Measuring Instruments?
If you are experiencing bad monitor values (like speed, area, etc.) on your Kinze KPM II Measuring Instruments, it could be due to incorrect monitor settings, a faulty radar/magnetic distance sensor, or an improperly mounted radar sensor. Try changing the settings to properly correspond to the system, replacing the sensor, or properly mounting the sensor.
Why are there erroneous MPH readings at idle on Kinze KPM II Measuring Instruments?
If you're getting erroneous MPH readings at idle with your Kinze Radar Distance Sensor, the radar gun might not be in a stable location. Relocate it to a more stable spot.
How to fix single sensor communication alarm on Kinze KPM II Measuring Instruments?
If a single sensor communication alarm is triggered on your Kinze Measuring Instruments (alarm on, no bar graph, blinking row number), it could be due to a bad seed tube sensor, a break in the harness just before the seed tube sensor, or a dirty/corroded connector. Consider replacing the sensor, inspecting and repairing the harness, or cleaning the connector.
What to do if sensor communication alarms come on for some sensors on Kinze KPM II?
If sensor communication alarms appear for some sensors on your Kinze Measuring Instruments (alarm on, no bar graphs, blinking row numbers), the issue might be a break in the harness or a dirty or corroded connector. Inspect the harness and repair it. If the break cannot be found, replace the harness section corresponding with the alarming sensors. Alternatively, try cleaning the connector.
What to do if underplanting alarm on a single sensor when planting on Kinze Measuring Instruments?
If you're seeing an underplanting or no planting alarm on a single sensor of your Kinze Measuring Instruments while planting (alarm on, single bar graph segment, blinking row number), it's possible the seed tube sensor is blocked or faulty. Try cleaning or replacing the sensor.
Why won't the LED light on the seed tube sensor come on Kinze KPM II?
If the LED light on the seed tube sensor of your Kinze Measuring Instruments won't turn on, it could be a faulty seed tube sensor, a dirty or corroded connector, or a break in the harness just before the sensor. Try replacing the sensor, cleaning the connector, or repairing the harness.
What to do if seed tube sensor dirty or blocked warning comes on Kinze Measuring Instruments?
If the seed tube sensor dirty or blocked warning appears on your Kinze Measuring Instruments (after calibration, the bar graph keeps blinking for a single row), the seed tube sensor might be dirty or faulty. Try cleaning or replacing the sensor.
