Calibrating
Distance Follow these procedures to calibrate the monitor for distance:
Step Action
1 Press the DIST key until “SPD=WHL or TRK or RAD or
GPS/WHL or GPS/TRK or GPS/RAD” is displayed. Use the
lower right UP or DOWN ARROW keys to change “SPD=” to:
WHL if you are using the wheel speed sensor on the combine for
ground speed
TRK if you are using the track speed sensor on the combine for
ground speed
RAD if you are using a radar gun for ground speed
Note:
If you are using a GPS receiver for ground speed (monitor set on
SPD=GPS/WHL, GPS/TRK or GPS/RAD) you still need to set
speed equal to either WHL, TRK or RAD and do a distance
calibration for the backup speed sensor. The monitor will start
using the selected backup speed sensor if the GPS signal is lost.
Do not set “SPD=” to anyone of the three GPS settings when
calibrating distance.
Example:
If you are using your GPS receiver as the ground speed sensor and
you are using the wheel speed sensor on the combine as the backup
speed sensor, you must calibrate distance for the wheel speed
sensor by setting SPD=WHL. However, the speed setting you
should leave the monitor set on for field operation is
SPD=GPS/WHL.
2 With the AREA COUNT SWITCH down and the red light on
(distance and area counting stopped), pick a spot on the combine
and align it with the marking at one end of the measured distance.
3 Flip the AREA COUNT SWITCH up, and, if necessary, lower the
head enough to make the red light turn off.
4 Press the DIST key until “x FT” is displayed.
5 Drive the measured distance, stopping at the end mark.
6 Flip the AREA COUNT SWITCH down (red light turns on).
