Sectional Control Technology™ (SCT)
This section contains instructions for setting up the Seed Hawk Viper Pro and SCT system. For instructions on
the setup of an SCT Ready system, see the SCT Ready Setup section on page 132.
If the drill sections have not already been configured for SCT mode, be sure to follow the Section Setup Wizard
section on page 106 to configure the tractor and drill sections. The SCT system is capable of automatic section
control for eight drill sections. The soil openers for each of these sections may be controlled automatically by
the SCT system to minimize soil disturbance and help reduce moisture loss and erosion.
Section Control Setup Screen
Touch within the Section Status area on the main screen to begin setting up the SCT system.
The Section Control Setup screen will be displayed.
Turn-On/Turn-Off Look-Ahead
Each air seeder setup will be different and respond differently to various control functions during product
application. Depending upon the hydraulic system, soil openers may take several seconds to lift or lower into
position. More time is required to prime the seed supply lines from the air cart to the openers. To help
compensate for these lag times and ensure that product is ready where and when it is needed, the look-ahead
settings allow the Seed Hawk Viper Pro to begin adjusting meter gates, opener position, or liquid control valves
based on the current speed and location of the seeder.
Note:
The look-ahead times should always be entered as positive values.
