Yield Multiplier: If you have been using the HarvestMaster Mobile
Field Computer and are satisfied with the accuracy do not change this
setting. If you have not used the Mobile Field Computer or are not
satisfied with your accuracy set to:

1.00 if using Load Cell sensors

3.00 if using Profile sensors (only used for Grapes)

If you change this setting you will have to calibrate for weight. See
“Weight Calibration Screen” instructions in the Calibration Section of this
instruction set.

IMPORTANT: After you set the Yield Multiplier value, DO
NOT CHANGE it. Changing this value after setup will
adversely impact harvest accuracy.

Area Count Switch Source: Selections are Belt Speed or Hold/Run. Set
this to "Belt Speed" for area counting to be based on when the Belt is
stopped or moving. (Stopped = Area Off, Moving = Area On). Set this to
"Hold/Run" for area counting to be based on the Hold/Run switch. (Hold
= Area Off, Run = Area On).

Note: The Ag Leader Area Count switch (located on bottom right of front
panel) must be on in order to count area.

Belt Length: Measure the conveyor belt length, enter this length for this
setting. If using Imperial units enter feet, if using Metric units enter
meters.

Belt Distance Per Pulse: This is the pulses per foot (or meters) of belt
travel detected by the speed sensor. The sensor is located on the drive
shaft.

Belt Distance Per Pulse = Sprocket Diameter (feet or meters) x 3.14.

Note: This formula assumes that the sensor outputs one pules per
revolution of sprocket. Pulse is generated by magnet passing the
speed sensor.

Measure sprocket diameter from low points where chain rests not from
the tips or ends of the sprocket cogs.
