What
Happens when some of the grain coming out of the spout hits
the sensor? Doesn't that turn the light on also?
No
it will not. The sensor can swing back and forth and
bounce up and down or vibrate. It will only turn the
light on when it is tipped and held by the grain.
When
the light goes on will I still have time to empty my auger
out?
Yes.
There is lots of adjustment on the chain from the
downspout to the sensor. An example would be a 10
inch auger 70 feet long filling a 4000 bushel bin
you would have 20 inches from the bottom of the downspout
to the top of the sensor.
When
the light goes on will I have to close my end gate on the
truck real quick?
No.
The grain will tip the sensor (turning the light on
for a second or two) and then slide away from the
sensor again. So the light will flash on and off several
times before it stays on continuously. This gives
the operator plenty of time to prepare to close the
endgate and empty the auger out.
I
would like to have a loud alarm so I could hear it as well
as see it, is this possible?
Yes.
We sell a 100db alarm as an option. Every light box
comes complete with a plug-in for a magnetic, weatherproof
alarm. It can be added at anytime. The alarm also
has a weatherproof switch built-in so you can turn
the noise off while you're finishing off filling the
bin.
Yes
it can. You only have to unplug and detach the sensor
at the top of the auger, unplug the wire on the magnetic
light, and move these two parts to your air seeder.
We sell an air seeder kit which includes the wiring
harness and lift for the sensor.
Yes,
but it must NOT have
a screen in the tank. If your tank has a screen the
possibility exists that it could be moved to the auger
intake (like the Bourgault Air Seeder Tank).
