## What is Recon Blockage Monitor?

Recon Wireless Blockage and Flow Monitor from Intelligent Ag is an acoustic-based blockage monitor for air seeders. Growers can receive quick and accurate notifications of blockages and flow variations anywhere in the air seeder, providing all-run blockage monitoring. It provides a simple, user-friendly interface that displays all manifold runs and gives you an audible alert if there's a blockage. 

The Recon Wireless Blockage and Flow Monitor uses acoustic mechanical sensors that are easy to install on nearly any brand of air seeder manifold (Sunflower, John Deere, Bourgault, Seed Hawk, Horsch, Case IH, Flexi-Coil, etc.), requiring less wiring than traditional air seeder blockage monitors.

Farmers can now have reliable, versatile machine blockage monitoring technology to improve precision in every pass. Unlike traditional optical sensors, the patented acoustic sensors monitor the sound of the seed flow so you can depend on accurate readings even if the sensors get dusty. 

Multiple sensor options allow the system to easily adapt to nearly any rig or application:

Bourgault, Case IH, John Deere, Seed Hawk, Amity, Sunflower, Horsch, Flexi-Coil and more
Multiple Product Types and Rates
Dry Fertilizer Applicators, Deep Banders, and Strip-Till Units
Dual-Shooting and Mid-Row Banders

## Key features

- Acoustic-based blockage monitoring
- Real-time flow variation notifications
- User-friendly interface with audible alerts
- Easy installation on multiple air seeder brands

### 5/5 — Highly recommend this system!

*2024-01-21, version 3.2*

We’ve been running the same system for 6 years now and I’m very impressed. We have had the odd bad sensor but only 3 or 4 in that time period. If it says it’s plugged, it’s plugged! No more plugged runs anymore, just the ones where the hose gets pulled out of the opener or something else breaks beyond the sensor. After the first year we went to the full package on every run, seed and fertilizer. We rely on this system 100% now and would feel blind without it.

### 5/5 — Works excellent

*2022-05-06, version 3.0*

I used to have the tron system before and was constantly chasing wiring problems, it was worse than nothing because it give false readings so eventually you’d just ignore it.  Have ran the ias system for two years now and zero issues so far.

### 5/5 — Bar none the best

*2020-09-17, version 2.6*

Used them all intel ag works give by far the most piece of mind in the field saves seed lives everyday👍🏽

### 2/5 — BlockageMonitor

*2020-04-17, version 2.5*

This is a very good a blockage system.
But The biggest problem I have with it, is there’s no fan rpm sensor to complete this package, so I’m forced to run 2 different monitors on my old seeder which doesn't work very good.
If IAS would make that change they would get many more sales.

### 5/5 — Best flow monitor

*2020-03-06, version 2.4*

We’ve had the system a few seasons now and the thing just works. It’s accurate and fast to detect problems. It has saved us many headaches in the field.
