PRODUCT CHAINING
The product chaining feature allows you to chain together product tanks or bins
when applying product to a field. When one tank or bin runs out, Viper automatically
switches to another tank and keeps applying product. This reduces trips made by
the operator to refill product.
In order to enable product chaining, you must start a new job. You cannot go back
and turn on product chaining once you already have a job set up.
Important:
 The products being chained must have their valve type
set up as either ‘Fast Close’ or ‘PWM Close’ before
enabling product chaining.
 The Vac/Bin Alarm and Low Tank Alarm must be set up
and turned on before beginning product chaining.
 Tank Volume would not have to be set up first, but if a node
is active and the volume is zero when the job starts, then
the product chain will advance right away, if Advance on
the Tank Volume = o, was selected in the Product Advance
settings.
Enabling Product Chaining
1. Follow the instructions in Chapter 4 for ‘Starting a New Job’.
2. When you get to the Product Selection screen, select the ‘Enable Product
Chaining’ option. The Product Selection screen allows the user to enter the
number of products that will be applied, as well as enable the product
chaining option.
Note: If only 1 node is detected, this option will not appear on
the screen and the following screens will not be present.
