Hy-Rate Seed Sensor-Weather Pack, Complete With Seed Tube, DICKEY-john compatible Infrared Planter Seed Sensor, AA61909, 45244-0971
LED Hy-Rate Seed Sensor
Comparable to DICKEY-John Hy-Rate Seed Sensor:Â Â 452440891AS1
LED Seed Sensor is the sensor of choice for large seed types and seeding rates of 1 to 135 seeds per second with up to 98% accuracy depending upon the application of the sensor. Examples of these include: corn, soybeans, sunflowers, sorghum, sugar beets, and edible beans. Using optical technology, the seed sensors work under the principal of photo detection.
Panflight’s digital seed counter sensor is designed with 4 emitting LED’s and 4 photoreceptors to ensure a homogeneous light curtain, thus avoiding blind spots. A microcontroller monitors the photoreceptor signal pattern to distinguish double and triple seed that results in a higher accuracy in counting. The high-standard materials applied, such as Nylon, Teflon and Polycarbonate ensures a high durability to the product, even in harsh environments.
To ensure the best product, the sensors are tested one by one on the production line, with individual monitoring of each emitting LED and each photo receiver, ensuring no blind spots on the light curtain. This care ensures the assertiveness of more than 99.6% on a *Random Test with popcorn seed.

*The random test consists of dropping seeds in a non-homogeneous sequence, which can cause double seeds and irregular spacings. This test was conducted in the laboratory and simulates a non-favorable seed count scenario.
