Speed Setting and
Distance
Calibration The monitor can record its ground speed from three different sources:
•
Ground speed sensor on combine
•
Radar gun
•
GPS (GPS 2000, Trimble AgGPS 120, 122, must have VTG data string)
The monitor has six different speed setting. The speed settings are set for
each load. With a load displayed press the DIST key until “SPD=” is
displayed. Use the bottom right UP or DOWN ARROW keys to select:
•
WHL (wheels)
•
TRK (tracks)
•
RAD (radar)
•
GPS/WHL
•
GPS/TRK
•
GPS/RAD
You have to calibrate distance for wheels, tracks, or radar speed settings,
depending on which ones you use for your distance and acre counting to be
correct. Refer to the Calibration section for instructions.
If you are getting your ground speed from a GPS receiver, you still must
select either wheels, tracks, or radar as a backup speed sensor. If the GPS
signal is lost, the monitor will take readings from the backup speed sensor.
Adjusting Load
