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 SCT Ready systems with the Seed
Hawk Viper Pro console.Contact your local Seed Hawk dealer for more information
System Overview
The SCT system may be operated in two different modes:
• SCT Ready systems
• SCT systems
SCT Ready
As the entry level sectional control system, the SCT Ready is not capable of controlling air cart products or soil
openers by sections. The SCT Ready 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 SCT Ready system is capable of controlling up to two additional liquid products in up to four sections
across the seed drill. The SCT Ready system controls these products in reference to the current coverage map
or a sectional control apply/no-apply map created on the Viper Pro.
