Adjusting the fill level sensor in the one-chamber hopper

The fill level sensor monitors the seed level in the hopper.

At lower application rates, the fill level sensor must be attached in the lower area of the hopper.

At higher application rates, the fill level sensor must be attached in the upper area of the hopper.

REQUIREMENTS

  • The machine is parked on a level surface.

  • The machine is connected to a soil tillage machine

  1. Open the roller tarpaulin 1.
  1. Remove the linch pin 1.
  1. Open the hopper sieve 1.
  1. Loosen the wing nut 5.

The fill level sensor 2 can be set vertically.

To prevent the fill level alarm from reacting too early, the fill level sensor can be installed closer to the front wall for high seed rates.

  1. Loosen the nuts 1 with the socket wrench 3.

The fill level sensor 2 can be set horizontally.

  1. When the fill level sensor is set:

    tighten the wing nut and nuts.
NOTE

As soon as the fill level sensor is no longer covered, a warning message appears on the control terminal or control computer.

When the low level sensor is installed in the lower area, the warning message appears very late.
