Access levels
The three access levels of the Hectare 5, what each one opens, and what happens to the alarms while a higher level is set.
Not every setting is open to everyone. The panel has three access levels. After every power-on it starts at the lowest one, “Operator”.
| Level | What it opens |
|---|---|
| “Operator” | Everyday work: brightness, volume, language, alarm delay, the clock, the target rates and alarm levels, taking a sensor into or out of control, the mass calibrations. Resetting the statistics asks for a PIN at this level. |
| “Agronomist” | The commissioning settings: “Seeding machine parameters”, “Product rate error,%”, most sensor parameters, the speed and dispenser calibrations, and the “Service” menu with the profile and the device configuration. Needs a PIN. |
| “Service” | Everything above, plus the reset-to-defaults items, “Reset settings”, “Save factory defaults”, the serial number, the trial period and “Imitation mode”. For the service department. Needs a PIN. |
Every settings table in this manual names the level an item needs. An item above your level is not shown in the menu at all — if an item named here is missing, check the level first.
Switch the level
The level is changed in one place only: “Settings” → “User”. Going up a level asks for the PIN of that level; going down does not. Step by step: Enable the Agronomist level.
Ask your dealer or the service support for the PIN.
What happens to the alarms while the level is high
The alarms are not lost while they are hidden — they wait. When you lower the level to “Operator”, the panel drops the ones that have gone away in the meantime and shows the ones that are still true, one window after another — also those you had already closed before you raised the level. After an hour of commissioning at “Agronomist”, expect a short run of alarm windows on the way back down. It is the backlog, not a new fault. How the windows work: How alarms work.
