PF3000 Cotton Yield Monitor
Ag Leader Technology Sensor Setup
March 2002 2-27
Choke Sensitivity The choke alarm is to alert you when one or more conveyors have
blockages, which could damage your picking drums. The sensitivity
of this alarm can be adjusted from 0 to 100 percent. A sensitivity of
zero means that the alarm is disabled. The zero flow threshold sets a
maximum amount of flow which a conveyor is considered blocked.
The best setting varies widely with yield and the consistency of the
yield throughout the field.
NOTE: If your picker is equipped with a factory-installed choke
alarm system, we recommend using the factory-installed system for
choke alarms.
Stringer Sensitivity The stringer alarm is to alert you when one or more conveyors have
strings or ropes of cotton hanging in them which will cause large false
flow readings. The sensitivity of this alarm can be adjusted from 0 to
100 percent. A sensitivity of zero means that the alarm is disabled.
The zero flow threshold sets a minimum amount of flow which a
stringer must cause before the alarm is activated. The recommended
setting is 50 percent, but the best setting varies with field conditions.
Low Signal
Threshold The low signal alarm is to alert you to sensors which are too dirty or
are misaligned, causing the yield data to be inaccurate. The threshold
of this alarm can be adjusted from 0 to 60 percent of the full-strength
signal. A threshold of zero means that the alarm is disabled. The
recommended setting is 20 percent.
NOTE: The monitor will still measure yield very accurately even at
signal strengths as low as 20 percent.
