Seed Hawk™ Viper Pro™ Installation & Operation Manual

Sectional Control Technology (SCT) Systems

Seed Hawk Sectional Control Technology and the Viper Pro console come together to maximize crop input

efficiency by applying multiple products in a single pass while reducing input costs. The SCT and Viper Pro

system provides automatic section control of up to five products, minimizing seed and chemical input overlaps

and automatic section control of soil openers to reduce soil disturbance to keep moisture in the ground and

reduce the effects of erosion. The Seed Hawk Viper Pro with Sectional Control Technology controls all of this

so that the operator can focus on driving and keeping swaths straight, reducing skips and overlaps as well as

reducing operator fatigue even while operating the largest drill widths.

Note:

With the Seed Hawk system, the first three products are locked to the air cart product bins. Up to
two SCT Control Nodes are required for three bin full SCT system operation. Contact your Seed
Hawk dealer for more information on components required for specific air carts and/or drills.

SCT Ready Setup

This section contains instructions for setting up the Seed Hawk Viper Pro and SCT Ready system. For

instructions on the setup of an SCT system, see the Sectional Control Technology™ (SCT) section on

page 137.

If the drill sections have not already been configured in SCT Ready mode, be sure to follow the Section Setup
Wizard

section on page 106 to configure the tractor and drill sections. The drill must be configured to 1, 2, or 5

sections.

In an SCT Ready system, the first section must always set to the full drill width and is assigned to products 1

through 3 applied from the air cart. The section 1 switch on the Seed Hawk switch box toggles all of the air cart

bins simultaneously for the entire drill width.

Note:

The SCT Ready system is not capable of sectional control of the seed sections or individual
products applied from air cart bins.

Any additional sections configured on the Drill and Section Width Setup screens are assigned to optional liquid

products (products 4 and 5). The SCT Ready system controls these liquid products as a single product but is

capable of controlling one or four sections of liquid application across the drill width.

Touch within the Section Status area on the main screen to begin setting up the SCT Ready system.
