DAISY CHAIN AIR SEEDER Blockage System Two-Way Communication Provides Improved Performance for Air Seeder Monitoring. Detecting air seeder blockages just became a lot easier with the DICKEY-john® Daisy Chain Air Seeder Blockage System (DCBS). This system monitors seed and fertilizer flow on small and large air seeder implements and alerts of blocked or faulty sensors. The Daisy Chain Blockage System architecture consists of a blockage module and daisy chain (serial communication) blockage sensors. Each module and sensor displays on the virtual terminal indicating critical system parameters for the selected loop. Advanced diagnostics is a value-added feature to assist in quick identification of system issues relating to sensor, communication, and power issues of the Daisy Chain Blockage System. Alarm screens alert of system issues and exact problem location. The system’s two-way communication allows for continued operation with pinched wires or breaks in communication lines to minimize downtime in the field. Blockage Module: • Ability to manage up to 4 modules per system • Each module can monitor up to 108 blockage sensors, split between 2 loops of 54 sensors each • i-directional communication with sensors on each loop B Blockage Sensors: • Designed from the original DICKEY-john Vigilense sensor for proven reliability and performance • aisy chain connections provide a clean installation D and eliminate complicated harnessing • 2-mm stainless steel tube extends through the sensor 3 for improved connection to hoses

DAISY CHAIN AIR SEEDER Blockage System Efficient Connections Advanced Diagnostics • rovides blockage monitoring for a maximum of 432 P distribution tower runs (4 blockage modules with up to 2 loops of 54 blockage sensors per module) • liminates complex harnessing and offers easy installation E with interconnected, daisy-chained wired sensors • llows for system expansion with the ability to add additional A blockage sensors to existing systems • nique bi-directional communication with the blockage U sensors installed on the tower • Easy-to-locate diagnostics of cut wire, faulty connection or...
