The Recon Blockage Plus is an acoustic-based monitoring system designed to quickly and accurately notify operators of blockages within agricultural implements. It interfaces with the operator via an iPad® app in the tractor cab.
The primary function of the Recon Blockage Plus is to detect and alert operators to blockages in the implement's runs or manifolds. It uses acoustic sensors to monitor product flow and identifies deviations from normal operation. The system provides real-time feedback on flow levels and alerts the operator through visual cues on the iPad app and an audio alarm when a blockage is detected. It also monitors manifold variance, indicating differences in flow levels between manifolds running the same product type. This helps identify issues such as poor product flow or low product levels. The system can monitor one or two different product types simultaneously, with variance calculations adjusted accordingly for each product type.
