Setting Area Count
Stop Height The monitor automatically takes readings from the header sensor so that
when you lift the combine’s head at the end of the rows to turn around, and
stops counting area if the head is raised high enough. The stop height
number setting determines how high the head must be raised at the ends of
the rows to stop counting area. The stop height can be set differently for
each grain type.
Follow these procedures to set the stop height:
Step Action
1 Set the monitor on a data load (load with an arrow to the right of the
load number (L1->).
2 Press the GRAIN key to display the grain type. Use the bottom-left
UP or DOWN ARROW keys to change the grain type.
Note: You must have a load displayed to change the grain type.
3 Press the STOP HEIGHT key to display the stop height value
(typically, the value is between 55 and 75).
4 Position the head at the height at which you want to stop counting
acres (this must be slightly higher than the height at which you run
the head while harvesting).
5 Put the area count switch in the up position. If the AREA COUNT
LIGHT is off, use the top DOWN ARROW key to decrease the stop
height value until the light turns on.
Note: When the light is off, you are counting acres. When it is on,
you are not counting acres.
6 If the AREA COUNT LIGHT is on, use the top UP ARROW key to
increase the stop height value until the light turns off. Then decrease
the value by one, which should make the light turn on.
7 Change the grain type to a different grain and set the stop height
value for that grain type.
8 Repeat steps 1 through 7 for all grain types you will harvest. Make
sure you change the grain type for the load back to its original
setting.
Note: You may want to fine-tune the stop height when you begin
harvesting.
