Seed Blockage Sensors
Seed Monitor Setup
Each seed sensor loop may be configured individually to allow the Seed Hawk system to accurately monitor
the status of separate delivery systems (e.g. seed or product tubes) and alert the operator to obstructions in
either delivery system.
To setup the seed monitoring system:
1. Touch the seed blockage sensor status area on the main screen.
The Seed Monitor Setup screen will be displayed.
2. The Seed Monitor Setup screen displays the following information for sensors in Loop 1 and Loop 2.
Enable Sensor Loops. Touch the radio button in front of the sensitivity field to enable sensor loops
Sensitivity. Use the sensitivity value to set the approximate number of seeds per second which each sensor in
the loop should detect when the system is operating normally. If a sensor does not detect the set value for
seeding rates, the system will display a blockage or obstruction and indicate which sensor is detecting the
error. The default sensitivity value is 15.
To adjust the sensitivity, either:
• Touch the current sensitivity value and use the keypad at the bottom of the screen to enter a new sensitivity
value, or
• Use the up or down arrows to the right of the sensitivity value to increase or decrease the sensitivity value
in smaller increments.
