INTRODUCTION
Congratulations with your new LH 1200 sprayer monitor.
During development of this monitor we have made a point of producing a durable product that is primarily developed to monitor chemical application. The monitor however, includes a number of other functions, which enable it to be used in connection with almost any other implement.
If the monitor is used in accordance with the guidelines in this manual, the LH
1200 will be a true and reliable assistant for you for many years.
We have endeavoured to deliver a fault free product. To ensure optimal use of the equipment we ask that great attention be paid when reading the manual. We are more than happy to help should any queries arise, both when the product is used for the first time and at any later date. Regarding responsibility for use of the product we refer to our sales and delivery terms especially paragraph 7, which follows:
7.Product usage.
7.1Any use of the product is at the sole risk of the buyer. The buyer is therefore not entitled to any form for compensation caused by, for example, any of the following:
!Disturbance to/from any electronic services or products that do not confirm to the standards for CE marking,
!Missing or poor signal coverage or a succession hereof from external transmitters/receivers, used by the buyer,
!Functional faults, which apply to or from a PC-program or PCequipment, not delivered by the seller,
!Faults that may arise from the buyers negligence to react to warnings and fault messages from the product, or which can be traced to negligence and/or absent constant control of the work carried out in comparison to the planned job.
7.2When implementing any new equipment the buyer must take great care and pay attention. Any doubts as to correct operation/use should result in contacting the sellers service department.
This manual may not be altered, copied or manipulated in any way. Unoriginal manuals can lead to operational faults damaging machines or crops as a consequence thereof. LH Agro can therefore not be held responsible for damages incurred, which can be traced to the use of unoriginal or manipulated manuals. Original manuals can be requisitioned at any time from LH Agro.

GENEREL USE |

GENERAL USE
The LH 1200 is especially designed for use on a crop sprayer.
The following primary functions can be selected directly from the keypad:
1.Work time
2.Forward speed
3.Area counters (tripand total)
4.Chemical application rate
5.Chemical consumption (litre counter)
The monitor can also be used in connection with other implements by encoding some special values (codes).
The secondary functions are as follows:
!Distance in metres
!Shaft speed (RPM)
!Fertiliser application rate
!Sow seed application rate
!Fertiliser consumption (Kg counter)
!Sow seed consumption (Kg counter)
!Unit counter
These functions can be placed into the following implement related sets:

The above examples show that three basic functions Work time, Forward speed, and Area counter are always available. The secondary functions can be selected as required.
The monitor can measure distance in metres as an extra function. This function requires a special encodement (code) and can, therefore, only be used by itself. All other information displayed is incorrect when this function is selected.
When Forward speed is selected and the area override sensor is activated an “r” is displayed on the left-hand side of the display.
The LH 1200 is equipped with a system test program, which enables the user to test all connected sensors. For more information, see the ”SYSTEM TEST” chapter on page 26.

OPERATING THE LH 1200 |
LH 1200 OPERATORS & FITTING MANUAL |
OPERATING THE LH 1200
PRIMARY FUNCTIONS
WORK TIME
Key 
Function
Work time in hours and minutes:
Pressing this key displays the effective work time (max. 99 hours 59 minutes)
The time counter is started and stopped by pressing the key. Flashing colon >:< means that the time counter is running. Constant colon >:< means that the time counter is stopped.
Pressing this key for min. 3 seconds resets the counter.
FORWARD SPEED Key 
Function
Kilometres per hour:
Pressing this key displays the present forward speed in kilometres per hour with 1 decimal.
Forward speed is always displayed when the monitor is switched on.
An “r” on the left-hand side of the display under this function, indicates that the area override sensor has been activated.
NOTE! This indicator is only displayed when forward speed has been selected.
Forward speed is zeroed approx. 8 second after stopping.

OPERATING THE LH 1200 |
AREA COUNTERS
The area counters start and stop automatically when the implement is
in work/not in work (implement sensor), and continue to count regardless of what other function in the “primary functions“ has been selected.
Area is not being measured if an “r” is displayed on the screen.
Key Function
Area trip counter:
Pressing this key displays the effective worked area. Area is displayed with 2 decimals from 0 – 99.99 ha. and with 1 decimal from 100 – 999.9 ha.
The area counter is started and stopped with the fitted area override sensor. This ensures that area is only counted when the implement is working.
The area trip counter counts synchronically with the area total counter.
NOTE! This key has a different function if 8888 or 9999 are encoded as the working width.
Pressing this key for min. 3 seconds resets the counter.
Area total counter:
Pressing this key displays the area total counter. The total effective area is displayed with 1 decimal from 0 to 999.9 ha. and without decimals from 1000 to 9999 ha.
This function can be used to sum up the worked area for a season or a year.
The area total counter counts synchronically with the area trip counter.
NOTE! This key has a different function if 8888 or 9999 are encoded as the working width.
Pressing this key again displays the area trip counter.
Pressing this key for min. 3 seconds resets the counter.
