Yield Sensor Type: Set to the type of sensor used by your HarvestMaster

yield monitor. The selections are Load Cell or
Profile. The Profile sensor is only used for grapes.

Load Cell A & B Multiplier:

Load Cell Type

Setting if Imperial

Setting if Metric

500 lbs.

50.0 lbs/mV

22.7 kgs/mV

150 lbs.

15.0 lbs/mV

6.81 kgs/mV

To determine which type of load cell you have, look at the "Capacity"
value on the sticker on the load cell.

Load Cell A & B Offset: If you do not have a tilt sensor set this to 0. If
you have a tilt sensor do the following.

a. Place the conveyor in a vertical position with the load cells

pointing down and the weight of the chain off the idler wheel
of load cell.

b. Go to the HarvestMaster Sensor Diagnostic screen. (Press the

EXIT key and the MENU key. Press the DIAG key and
HARVMAST SENSOR key.)

c. Write down the “gross” weight for Weight A and Weight B.

Go back to the Harvmast Sensor Setup Screen and enter gross
Weight A for Load Cell A Offset and gross Weight B for Load
Cell B Offset.

Tilt Sensor Multiplier: This is the degrees of tilt per volt. If you do not
have a tilt sensor set this to 0. If you do have a tilt sensor, obtain this
setting from the label on the tilt sensor. To check if the value is correct do
the following:

a. Place the portion of the conveyor with the load cells level. Use an

angle finder to make sure it is perfectly level.

b. Go to the HarvestMaster Sensor Diagnostic screen and view "Tilt".

c. Adjust the position of the tilt sensor until the “Tilt” reading is set to 0.

d. Using the angle finder, change the conveyor to a known angle (such

as 30 degrees).

e. Check the “Tilt” reading under the HarvestMaster Sensor Diagnostic

screen. If it does not match the known angle, divide the known angle
by the sensor reading. Multiply the result by the current Tilt Sensor
Multiplier. This is the final setting. Enter this value at the
HarvestMaster Sensor Setup Screen.
