Sectional Control
Technology™ (SCT)
The Seed Hawk Sectional Control Technology (SCT) system provides automatic section control and allows the
Viper Pro system to automatically control sections in reference to coverage or apply/no-apply zone maps. In
addition, field boundaries recorded with the SCT feature enabled will automatically set up a no-apply boundary
around the target area to help eliminate seeding or product application outside of targeted areas.
Depending upon desired operation, the SCT system is capable of automatically closing meter gates or control
valves for specific products and lift soil openers as the section crosses over previously seeded or applied
areas. As the section returns to an un-applied area, the SCT system opens the meter gates and lowers the soil
openers so that seed and product are being applied at target rates where it is needed.
This chapter contains information about setting up and using the SCT and Base systems with the Seed Hawk
Viper Pro field computer. Contact a local Seed Hawk dealer for more information.
System Overview
The Seed Hawk system may be operated in two different modes:
• Base systems
• SCT systems
Base
As the entry level sectional control system, Base systems are not capable of controlling air cart products or soil
openers by sections. The Base system applies products from the air cart product bins as a single product
across the drill width while the operator manually operates the soil openers via the tractor hydraulic system.
The Base system is capable of controlling up to two additional liquid products in up to four sections across the
seed drill. The Base system controls these products in reference to the current coverage map or a sectional
control apply/no-apply map created on the Viper Pro.
