Hopper monitoring "T"
The sensor for hopper monitoring can be in-
stalled inside the seed hopper in various posi-
tions.
The sensor should always be positioned in such
a way, that in case of an alarm sowing can still
be continued to the headland of the field. Meter-
ing quantity and length of field must thereby be
taken into account.
For fine seeding the sensor must be installed
in lowest position and covered with seed when
filling the hopper.
Several hoppers can be connected to the hopper
monitoring cable and monitored.
The cable is thereby extended for further con-
nections by a Y-cable.
In case of an alarm it can therefore not be deter-
mined which hopper has caused the alarm.
An alarm for an empty hopper only occurs once.
It must be confirmed with the "Escape"-key.
The alarm function will only be activated again,
after the hopper sensor has been covered by
seed during filling.
Bridging "B"
The sensor for bridging monitoring is installed
in the metering unit.
In case of bridging in the seed or fertiliser hopper
the metering unit will run empty and no seed or
fertiliser will be placed.
In case of an alarm you should therefore stop
and remove the bridging immediately.
Several dosing units can be connected to the
bridging monitoring cable and monitored.
The cable is thereby extended for further con-
nections by a Y-cable.
In case of an alarm it can therefore not be deter-
mined which sensor has triggered the alarm.
The alarm for bridging only occurs once. It must
be confirmed with the "Escape"-key.
The alarm function will only be reactivated after
the fault has been corrected and the metering
unit is full again.
