Introduction

The yield monitor is designed to accurately measure and record acres,
moisture, grain weight, bushels, and yield in bu/ac on-the-go. It is GPS
compatible and can log yield mapping data on memory cards. The yield
monitor must be calibrated to be accurate.

If you are using the monitor with a GPS receiver, you must use a
memory card to save GPS information
. If you do not have a GPS
receiver, you do not need a memory card; the monitor has enough internal
memory for 976 total loads and 255 total fields which should last the entire
season.

Monitor
Organization

The monitor is organized by fields and loads. A load subdivides a field into
smaller sections. A monitor load can be smaller or larger than a combine
tank, wagon, or truck load. It is recommended to use different loads for
different hybrids or varieties or field conditions (like a wet hole). The
operator manually changes the load when it is appropriate to do so while
harvesting.

Keypad

The monitor has three groups of keys: a top group, a bottom-left group, and
a bottom-right group. When you press a key, the monitor beeps. Each key
(particularly the SETUP and MEM keys) have menu items to scroll through
by continually pressing the key to advance to the next menu item under that
key.
