Seed sensor with counting function Seed Master Integra

with automatic cleaning alarmfor seeding

Overview
Seed Master Integra is a multichannel seed and granular-fertilizer flow monitor for air drills and planters. It displays seed count, population, hopper level, fan rpm and supports tramline regulation. The unit processes and displays up to 128 rows simultaneously on a 4.7" illuminated graphic LCD. Two i-LiNE ports support separate seed and fertilizer application rates. Operation is via direct keys, soft keys and control LEDs.

System Features

• Monitoring of seed flow/blockage for up to 3 products on pneumatic and some mechanical drills
• Seed count, fertilizer and insecticide flow-rate and blockage monitoring on planters
• Seeding control for planters up to 24 seed rows + 24 fertilizer/insecticide rows
• On-the-go calibration of expected seed/fertilizer density
• Manual or automatic speed tracking
• Tramline regulation (symmetric or asymmetric)
• Row-closure motor/actuator end-position control
• Hopper level display with low-level alarm
• Two rotation-guard channels (one with numeric display for e.g. fan rpm)
• Detection and display of blockages or dust accumulation on sensors
• Supported languages: English, French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Turkish
