Hopper empty

What to do when the Hectare Mini reports that a hopper is empty.

The hopper level sensor sits at a fixed height in the hopper. The device line names the hopper: Hopper: #2. On the home screen the hopper indicator turns red — see Indicators.

“Hopper empty”

What it means. The product in the hopper has fallen below the height of the sensor.

What to check, in this order:

1. Fill the hopper.
2. If the product is above the sensor and the alarm stays: product bridging or caked on the sensor — clean the sensor.
3. The status screen of the sensor: Pin: reads "1" while the panel sees the hopper empty — Hopper and work position sensors.
4. The sensor itself is serviceable.

The hopper sensor has no settings; an alarm that does not match the hopper is a matter of the sensor, its mounting height or its cable.
