Access levels
The three access levels of the Hectare Mini — Operator, Agronomist, Service — what each one opens, what happens to the alarms at the higher levels, and how to get back to Operator.
The panel hides every setting a driver does not need. What a menu shows depends on the access level chosen under “User” in the “Settings” menu. After every power-on the panel starts at “Operator”.
| Level | Who | What it opens |
|---|---|---|
| “Operator” | The driver | Everything for work: the target rates, the fields, the statistics, “Alarm delay”, the date and time, the language. In the context menus: “Information” and the everyday sensor settings such as “Fraction” or “Minimum, rpm”. |
| “Agronomist” | The farmer, the dealer | Also “Seeding machine parameters” (working width, modes, calibrations), the hidden parameters of every sensor, and in the main menu the “Service” menu with “Sensors Configuration” for seed and pressure sensors. |
| “Service” | The service engineer | Also the profile, the configuration of HUB-8 concentrators and tramline actuators, the service screen of the motors, “Reset to defaults” in every context menu and “Reset settings”. The status screen of a sensor shows its address. |
The list under “User” has a fourth value, “Debug”. It is for the manufacturer and has no use in the field.
A raise to “Agronomist” or “Service” asks for the PIN of that level. The PINs are different for every panel: the dealer gives them for your panel. Going down asks nothing. How: Enable the Agronomist level.
In this manual a parameter or menu item says which level it needs. An item you do not see is above your level, or does not apply to the machine in the profile.
What happens to the alarms while the level is high
The only window that still comes is “User is Agronomist! Alarms will not be shown!” — once per session, as soon as the panel sees seeding at the higher level. See User is Agronomist.
When you go back down to “Operator”, the panel drops the alarms that have cleared in the meantime and shows the ones that are still true, one after another.
Back to Operator
- In “Settings” set “User” to “Operator” with “MINUS” and press “MENU”, or
- switch the panel off and on.
Do one of the two after every commissioning or repair, before the machine goes back to work.
What is in the Service menu
The main menu shows “Service” from the “Agronomist” level on. What it holds:
| Item | Level | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| “Profile” | Service | The list of devices of the machine. The profile |
| “Sensors Configuration” | Agronomist | Gives a new or replaced device its address. Device configuration |
| “Electric motors” | Service | The service screen of the dispenser motors; only with motors in the profile. |
| “Count seeds always” | Agronomist | “Yes”: the Seeding table and the Statistics screen count seeds also in the “Flow” and “Hybrid” modes, not only in “Precise”. |
| “Enter key” | Agronomist | Shown only on a panel with a time-limited licence: enter the licence key from the dealer. |
The remaining items of this menu are for the service engineer and the manufacturer.
