Status. The status indicator displays the status of seed or product flow in the seed tubes. The seed blockage
status will display:
Green when the system is operating normally.
Yellow when a product blockage or dirty sensor is detected in the system. Check the indicated sensor
locations in the Blocked display and clear any obstructions as necessary during operation.
Red if a communication issue is detected with the seed blockage sensors. Check sensor assemblies
and cables for disconnected or damaged parts and replace parts as necessary.
Note:
The seed blockage sensor status area on the main screen will provide the same status displays for
each sensor loop as described above to allow the operator to monitor the seed blockage system
throughout the seeding operation.
Sensor Count. Check that the programmed sensor count for loop 1 and loop 2 matches the number of
sensors installed on the drill. To adjust the number of sensors, refer to the Configuring Blockage Sensor
Loops section on page 192.
Blocked. When a blockage is detected in loop 1 or loop 2, the sensor number(s) which detect an obstruction or
blockage will be displayed in this area. Check these sensor locations for obstructions in the line to clear the
blockage condition.
Note:
To help locate blockages during operation more quickly, it is recommended to number the sensors.
Refer to the seed blockage sensor installation instructions for details on numbering the sensors.
Dirty. Sensors may need to be cleaned periodically during seeding operations to ensure that the system is
accurately detecting the flow of seed or product through seed tubes. Check and clean the indicated
sensor(s) to ensure optimal system performance.
When monitoring particularly dirty seed types or products, it may be necessary to clean each sensor in the
loop when a the system indicates a sensor or sensors in the loop are dirty.
