Using the Seed Hawk® Viper Pro System
Product Chaining
The product chaining feature allows the field computer to link product tanks or bins together in series while
applying product to a field. When one tank or bin runs out, Viper automatically switches to another tank or bin
and keeps applying product reducing trips to a nurse tank or tender truck to refill products.
Note:
When chaining Seed Hawk air cart bins, the Viper Pro is configured to automatically advance
when the bin level sensor detects the bin falls below five percent.
The product chaining feature is not available with ground drive Base systems.
Be sure the field computer is set up or equipped as follows:
• The products being chained must have their valve type setup as either “Fast Close” or “PWM Close” before
enabling product chaining.
• The Vac/Bin Alarm and Low Tank Alarm must be set up and turned on before beginning product chaining if
either of these options is selected as an Auto Advance method.
• The tank volume should be set up before starting a job. If advance on low tank alarm is selected and the
tank volume is zero, bin chaining will immediately advance product control to the next tank.
• If Advance on Bin Level Sensor Alarm is to be used, all products in the chain must be equipped with a bin
level sensor.
Refer to the Starting a Standard Job section on page 73 or Starting a Standard Job section on page 73 for
information on enabling the product chaining feature when setting up a job. See Chapter 7, Product Chaining,
for details on using the product chaining feature during a job.
