General Information
This kit provides the implement components necessary
to enable the shaft monitor function of the
electro-hydraulic console that is standard on 2SNT drills.
Refer to Figure 1
These instructions explain how to install a Two Channel
Shaft Monitor Option. The kit adds a rotation sensor to
the main seed box meter drive shaft of each drill box.
In operation, when the main seed box shaft of any drill
box stops rotating for more than 20 seconds, an alarm
sounds in the tractor cab.
One kit updates one entire drill:

This installation requires contact with interior components of
the main seed box. If treated seed has ever been used in the
box, follow chemical supplier instructions for protective
equipment and cleaning residue from the seed box.
2.Move the drill to a location with adequate lighting,
and a clear surface beneath for recovery of any
fallen parts.
3.Unfold the drill. Consult the Operator manual for
details and safety considerations.
4.Raise the drill or otherwise configure it so that the
meter drive shaft may be rotated while the drill is
stationary.
5.Install all locks or supports necessary to support the
drill while it is being worked on.
6.Shut off any tractor used to position the drill and
remove the key.
Refer to Figure 2

2.Find the box section between cups with the two, #8
screws, washers, and nuts already in place.
Removethe nuts and washers and use for installing
the sensor mount.
If any shaft protective tubing is installed, remove and
discard.
Make sure that the locations between cups have the
following attributes:
• not obstructed to the front by a seed rate handle, and
• there is adequate exposed surface on the drive shaft
to place the shaft monitor hose and shaft monitor
magnets.
3.Mount the end of the sensor mountwith the
holes over the two, #8 screws. Make sure the
slotted-end of the mount is down and pointing
towards the front of the drill.

4.Slip the shaft monitor hose over the shaft and
center approximately with the middle of the sensor
mount. If necessary, trim hose to fit between the
shaft lock collars.
5.Select two new:

6.Slip each magnet over the hose, and position
as shown in figure 3. Run each magnet clamp up
against each lock collar, then tighten the clamps.
7.Slide the reed sensor switchin the mount side-toside, and front-to-back until it is centered between
the magnets and tighten the #4-40 screws.
8.Repeat steps 1 through 7 to install the other sensor
and magnets.
• Before installing cable ties, uncoil and dress the cable
assemblyand extensionsacross the drill and to
the hitch. This assures that the cables are long
enough, and correctly oriented left/right.
• Keep cables clear of moving parts and pinch points,
such as chains, sprockets and rotating shafts.
• Keep cables clear of sharp edges (or protect edges).
• Keep cables clear of any machine parts that get hot.
• Allow slack at hinge points, or route the cable so that it
passes through the hinge axis.
• Take advantage of holes and open tubes on the drill.
However, avoid routing through a tube if a mated
connector set would end up inside the tube.
• Evaluate routing and attachment points. Ample ties
are provided for most situations. The ties can also be
used around hydraulic hoses to secure the cable.
• Leave a little slack between attachment points.
A cable stretched taut could be damaged by normal
temperature swings.
• Where there is an extended run of unsupported cable,
makesure each end of the sag is supported by a cable
tie, and that there are no connections in the sag.
• Where excess cable exists (such as on two-point
drills), plan a location for coiling it up and securing it.
Having the coil near the hitch provides flexibility if any
later troubleshooting required.
• Before making outside connections, apply a generous
amount of dielectric grease around the inside surface
of all female (receptacle) connectors.
