Alarms and troubleshooting
Dispenser motor alarms
What the alarms of an electric dispenser motor of the Hectare Mini mean — voltage, temperature, short circuit, current, jamming — and what to check.
The controller of each electric dispenser motor reports its faults to the panel. The device line names the motor: Electric motor: #5. The code of the last fault is on the status screen of the motor, line Last fault: — give it to the service. The motor and its settings: The context menu of a motor.
| Alarm text | What it means | What to check, in this order |
|---|---|---|
| “Under voltage” | The supply voltage of the motor controller — for the motor or for its electronics — is too low. | Battery and alternator of the tractor; the power cable and its connectors; the fuse. |
| “Over voltage” | The supply voltage is too high. | The charging voltage of the tractor; the power supply of the system against the data sheet. |
| “Over temperature” | The controller or its heat sink is too hot. | Let it cool; a dispenser that runs hard; dirt covering the motor. |
| “Short circuit” | A short on the motor leads — between them, to ground or to the supply. | The motor cable and connector; the motor. |
| “Over current” | The motor draws too much current. | A dispenser that runs hard or is blocked; the motor. |
| “Motor jammed!” | The motor is told to turn but does not turn. With “Rollback when jammed” at “Yes” it first runs back briefly to free itself. | Foreign matter in the dispenser; the drive between motor and dispenser; the motor. |
| “Device in bootloader!” | The motor controller is in its update mode and does not run. | Switch the panel and the system off and on. If it stays, call the service. |
| “FAILURE” | Any other fault of the controller. | Note Last fault: from the status screen and call the service. |
All motors share one more alarm with every device: “Connection lost” — Device does not answer.
