Seed Blockage
Sensors
System Overview
With the optional seed blockage sensor system, the Seed Hawk Viper Pro can be used to monitor seed or
product flow during seeding operations. If an obstruction is detected, the field computer will display information
from the sensors to help the operator quickly locate the obstruction.
The status of the seed blockage sensor system is displayed at the bottom of the Seed Hawk Viper Pro display.
The field computer may be connected to two separate sensor loops with up to 120 sensors per loop to monitor
seed flow at a single distribution tower or individual openers across the drill depending upon the level of system
monitoring desired.
Seed Blockage Node Detection
If the seed blockage system is installed and correctly connected to the Seed Hawk Viper Pro, the seed
blockage node should display on the CAN Initialization Results screen when the field computer is powered on.
If the seed blockage node is not displayed on this screen during start up, check the node connections and
touch the Retry CAN Init button before starting the Seed Hawk Viper Pro application. If the node is still not
detected, contact a local Seed Hawk dealer for assistance.
