Error code 18
Seed/fertiliser flow: Communication error (red)
Warning at Drill and Maestro.Drill (18-1)
Maestro (18-2)
since version 9.65
When does the warning occur?
"Dickey John" has been selected as seed-fertiliser flow monitoring system.
The communication between the sensors is interrupted from two sides in the circle (Loop).
Correct seed/fertiliser flow monitoring cannot be ensured.

Does a Drilling error (drilling drop-out) occur?
No.
What to do?
- Check the connecting cables of the displayed sensors.
- If the defective sensors are bypassed, then all sensors will be re-addressed (even without restarting).
- Example:
- 20 sensors per loop
- Terminal indicates no connection between sensors 5 and 8 => Error between Out 5 and IN 8 => Sensor 5 and sensor 8 defective
- Sensor 4 will be connected with sensor 6. Sensor 7 will be connected with sensor 9.
- Since all sensors are now without error, all sensors will be re-addressed.
- Sensor 6 (sticker) is now sensor 5 (Terminal)
- Sensor 7 (sticker) is now sensor 6 (Terminal)
- Sensor 9 (sticker) is now sensor 7 (Terminal)
- Sensor 10 (sticker) is now sensor 8 (Terminal)
- etc.
- Since two sensors were removed, sensors 19 an 20 are now missing.
- To be able to continue working without error message, the number of the sensors in the terminal on 18 must be changed for the loop concerned.
Is there an audible indication?
single audible signal
How is the warning confirmed?
not possible, until error has been rectified
