The installation of the Acre Counter is as simple as mounting one magnet on a ground-driven shaft and one sensor to measure shaft turns. Several options of magnet and sensor are available to fit your equipment.
When the Acre Counter is first installed, the display will be blank even though the signals from the shaft sensor are being measured. To activate the display, press the FUNC (function) button. The Acre Counter will then display the current function and the corresponding total. Pressing the FUNC button again allows the next function to be displayed. Words on the display make it easy to see which function is being displayed.
The Acre Counter will calculate and display the Field Acres and Total Acres based on the Pulses per Mile setting (the number of shaft rotations for one mile) and the Implement Width setting. These two factors need to be set to match the equipment being used with the Acre Counter and reset only if a different implement is used.
