 Whirlwind™
New features!!
The Micro-Trak Whirlwind system monitors up to 256 seed or fertilizer tubes. The basic system consists of a console with a dual alarm (audible and visual) and LCD display, and one or more Sensor Connection Modules (SCM's) with up to 16 sensors per module. Installation is simple; the seed tube sensors are non-intrusive and are clamped around tubes using cable ties, while the main harness consists of a single, seven wire cable that "daisy chains" the modules together.
The system is designed to work with air seeder or gravity drop systems. Its primary function is to monitor seed and/or fertilizer tubes and set off an alarm if any are empty or blocked. The LCD display indicates which tube (s) is blocked or empty so the operator can quickly identify and fix the problem.
CAPABILITIES
If a run/hold sensor is installed, and the planter is disengaged (hold)the alarms (audible, flashing LED) are disabled, but blockage status is still displayed if the rotary selection switch is set on "SCAN". When the planter is engaged (run) all alarms are enabled.
If a speed sensor is installed, then Distance, Area and Speed can also be monitored. The system can be used as a stand-alone (without any modules) speed/area/distance monitor by installing a jumper on the main 7-pin harness.
Shaft rotation monitoring is achieved by adding up to 2 SHAFT modules. Each shaft module can have up to 2 sensors. The console allows an alarm to be set, so if the shaft RPM level falls below a (settable) level, it will trigger an alarm.
Fan rotation monitoring can be achieved by adding up to 2 FAN modules. Each fan module can have up to 2 sensors. The console allows an alarm to be set, so if any shaft RPM level falls below a (settable) level, it will trigger an alarm.
Bin level monitoring can be achieved by adding 1 BIN module. The module has 4 inputs for up to 4 bin sensors.
This allows monitoring of either a) up to 4 levels in a single bin or b) 1 level in up to 4 bins.
Seed, Shaft, Fan or Bin modules can be conveniently inserted anywhere in the module daisy chain.
