Hopper empty

What to do when the panel reports that a hopper is running empty.

The hopper sensor sits in the hopper at a fixed height. It reports when the product falls below it. How the window works: How alarms work.

“Hopper empty”

What it means. The level of the product in the hopper is very low. The hopper needs refilling.

What to check, in this order:

1. Fill the hopper.
2. If the product stands above the height at which the sensor is mounted and the alarm stays, check that the sensor is serviceable. Its status screen shows the level on its input as “0” or “1” — see The sensor status screen.

The hopper sensor has no settings of its own beyond the common ones — see Hopper, implement position and engine sensors.
