Hopper Level Sensor Installation
Regardless of hopper/seed box used, the 3PYPA planter
includes a factory-installed seed level sensor in the
airbox.
If a 403-143K 82 bushel hopper was ordered with the
planter, it includes an 833-235C hopper level sensor
which is not factory-installed. This sensor can provide a
second, earlier, low seed level alarm.
An optional 466820710S3 extension cable is required to
connect the hopper level sensor to the 3PYPA seed
monitor harness.
Use of the hopper level sensor is optional, and level
placement is at your discretion. To install:
113. Perform the installation before first use of the
hopper. The sensor body is mounted inside the
hopper. It can be dangerous to enter a hopper if it
contains any seed, or has ever been used with
treated seed.
114. Refer to Figure 68 for placement elevations based
on remaining hopper capacity. Great Plains
suggests mounting the sensor on the lower front
wall of the hopper.
115. Follow the steps in DICKEY-john
®
instruction sheet
110011126 to install the sensor.
116. Use silicone to seal the cable at the grommet, and
around the grommet, to prevent air leaks which can
interfere with consistent seed delivery.
117. Connect the sensor lead to the harness installed at
step 111 on page 37.
Row Unit Options
Optional row unit capabilities that are not
factory-installed include their own installation
instructions, or rely on instructions in the planter
Operator manual.
