Abstract

See full text

A combine grain bin monitoring system includes a pair of detectors mounted on the upper edges of opposing side walls of a combine grain bin, for detecting the presence of grain. A visual display module mounted outside of the bin has a visual indicator which is operable in response to a signal received from either of the detectors. A third detector is preferably mounted on the upper end of a support located generally centrally within the bin, and is also electrically connected to the visual indicator such that the visual indicator will operate in response to a signal from either of the side wall detectors or the central detector. Additional detectors may be added to the central support to signal the level of grain within the bin. A visual alert device is electrically connected to the visual display module but spaced remote therefrom. The visual alert device is operable in response to the illumination of a lamp on the visual indicator.
