Indicators of the home screen and their states
Every indicator of the Hectare Mini home screen in every state — speed, hopper, dispenser shaft, fan, pressure, engine sensors, implement position, markers, tramline, clock, area, population and product rates.
Read the indicators by colour. On firmware 2.2.8 a device in order is drawn in grey; red, mostly blinking, is an alarm; yellow is a state you should know about but not a fault. Three states are the same for every sensor:
| What you see | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
 A red cross, blinking, or XXXX in place of the value |
No connection to the sensor. | Check its cable and connectors. |
| A red question mark, blinking, or ???? in place of the value | A device of another type answers at this place. | Have the configuration checked by the service. |
| A grey not-controlled sign, blinking, or !!!! in place of the value | The sensor is taken out of control. It is not watched. | Take it back into control when the fault is repaired. |
Speed
| What you see | Meaning |
|---|---|
 |
The travel speed in km/h. |
 alternating with  |
Faster than allowed. The red figure alternates with “SLOWER”. |
 alternating with  |
Slower than allowed. The red figure alternates with “FASTER”. |
| Red figure alternating with “Sensor” 1 or 2, or with “Settings” | One of the two wheel sensors has failed, or the speed limits are set wrongly. |
 |
No connection to the speed sensor. |
 alternating with  |
Speed imitation is on: the figure is yellow and alternates with “IMITATION”. Outside the limits, with INCREASE IMITATION or DECREASE IMITATION. |
The speed is watched against its limits only if that control is switched on in the speed sensor settings. Where the speed comes from GPS: GPS reception.
Hopper
| What you see | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Grey | Product above the sensor. |
 red, blinking |
The hopper is empty. |
Dispenser shaft
| What you see | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Grey; turning while the shaft turns | In order. |
 red, blinking |
The shaft does not turn, or not at the speed required. |
Fan
| What you see | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Grey, with the speed in rpm | In order. |
| Red, blinking, with the speed | The fan speed is outside its limits. |
Pressure
| What you see | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Grey, with the pressure in kPa | In order. |
 red |
The pressure at the fan outlet is outside its limits. |
Engine sensors
The sensors of a separate fan-drive engine. Oil pressure and battery charge are watched only while the ignition is on.
| What you see | Meaning |
|---|---|
 red |
Low oil pressure. |
 red |
The battery is not charging. |
 red |
Little fuel in the tank. |
 red |
The air filter is clogged. |
Key grey /  key yellow |
Ignition on / ignition off. |
In order, each of these icons is grey.
Implement position
| What you see | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Grey | The drill is in the working position. |
 yellow, blinking |
The drill is in the transport position. |
Markers
Grey arms show which marker is down and which is up. With two marker sensors, both arms yellow means both markers are up.
Tramline bout
Wheel tracks with the current bout on top and the number of bouts below — see Next tramline bout.
Clock
| What you see | Meaning |
|---|---|
| White time | The time of day. |
| Red time, with a red BAT for a moment every four seconds | The clock battery must be replaced. |
| Red XX:XX, blinking | The clock is faulty. |
| Yellow IMITAT | The panel runs in an imitation mode — see About the pictures. |
| Blue hours:minutes and TRIAL | A trial period is active: the time left. It appears every 30 seconds and covers the hopper and shaft icons for a moment. |
Area
Hectares treated on the active field — shown only with a speed sensor, and only where the screen has room.
Population
In the “Precise” mode: thousands of seeds per hectare, averaged over the seed sensors under control that answer. If seed and fertilizer are both in “Precise”, two indicators show, marked A (seed) and B (fertilizer); the area is then usually not shown.
Product rate
One indicator per product applied by weight, with the product number, in kg/ha. Red and blinking: the rate deviates more than “Product rate error,%”. While it is within the tolerance, the panel shows the target figure.
The column on the right
| What you see | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Motor symbol, yellow, blinking | Product application is locked by hand — see Lock application by hand. |
| Actuator symbol, red, blinking | A dispenser motor or a tramline actuator is in alarm — see the Motors screen. |
| Actuator symbol alternating with the not-controlled sign | A motor or an actuator is taken out of control. |
| Product symbol, red, blinking | The set rates cannot be applied at any speed — see Calibrate a motor by weight. |
