Calibrating Grain Weight

Step Action
4 Unload one or more times into the hauling vehicle, finishing with the
following:
•
Combine grain tank again empty
•
All the grain from the calibration load on the hauling vehicle
•
No grain from any other combine on the hauling vehicle
5 Immediately change data loads in the monitor to ensure that you do
not inadvertently add grain after you have unloaded into the hauling
vehicle.
6 Weigh the grain on the hauling vehicle and record the actual load
weight on a log sheet in the back of this section of the manual.
Notes:
•
If you are using a weigh wagon to weigh the grain, make sure the
wagon has been calibrated properly.
•
Be absolutely sure that the measured and actual weights
correspond, which means that:
•
The combine’s grain tank was completely empty when the
load was started
•
The grain tank was completely empty when the load was
finished
•
All the grain from that monitor load went into the same
vehicle
•
No other grain, such as from another combine, was loaded
into the vehicle
7 Repeat the above steps and harvest another calibration load.
Entering Actual
Load Weights As you obtain actual weights from the calibration loads, you can either enter
the weights in the monitor one at a time and calibrate after entering each
load or wait until you obtain them all, enter them all at once, and then
calibrate. Both methods produce the same calibration accuracy. Enter the
actual load weights as follows:
Step Action
1 Display a load for which you have an actual weight (lbs).
2 Press the WEIGHT key to display the measured lbs the monitor
calculated.
3 Press the WEIGHT key again to display “0 ACT LB”.
