I have fertilizer buildup on my sensors

Cleaning Buildup
Fertilizer buildup on sensors can cause false blockages in the app. Gently scrape off buildup
with a screwdriver. Or, use a garden hose with a nozzle. If you use water to clean the sensor,
make sure the system is completely dry before running product through it.
Preventing Buildup
Fertilizer build-up issues often depend on the quality of the product supplied to you. Dusty
products combined with high humidity can coat many components throughout an air seeder.
The blockage sensor is oftentimes the first indication of poor quality fertilizer, and without it, you
may be caught unaware when this muck plugs a manifold or metering roll. If you have
encountered this issue, we recommend administering one or more of the following remedies:
Soy or canola oil additives:

Nitrogen Stabilizer (Agrotain):

Substitute sulfate products with Mezz or 40 Rock
•
o Mezz (12-40-0-10s-1zn)
o 40 rock (12-40-0-7s-1zn) (least dusty)
• Blockage Prevention System: The BPS is a hydraulic oil cooler that significantly reduces
humidity. More info:

How do I install my 90 degree sensors if I don't have enough space for the
seed hoses to point straight down?
If the seed hose connected to the sensor does not have enough space to point downward, turn
the sensors so that the hoses are parallel to the ground. The sensors can be mounted at any
angle between 90 degrees and 270 degrees.

Which way do I install my 1.5" inline sensors?

There's an arrow on the sensor that indicates direction of flow. The sensors should be installed
with the arrow pointing in the direction of flow.

How do I mount my 1" and 1.25" streamline sensors?

Refer to the section called Installing Streamline 1-inch and 1.25-inch flow sensors in the Recon
Wireless Blockage and Flow Monitor (WBFM) Installation Manual.
