Setting/Changing
Moisture The operator can set the monitor to take readings from the moisture sensor
automatically or he/she can enter an average moisture manually. The
moisture is set to automatic or manual for each load. The monitor comes
from the factory set on automatic moisture. You should use the automatic
moisture setting unless you have a problem with the moisture sensor or you
do not have a moisture sensor.
Follow these steps to change the moisture setting.
Step Action
1 Display moisture on the screen by choosing INST MOISTURE as a
display item.
2 Select the line displaying moisture by pressing the key to the right of
the display.
3 Use the RIGHT ARROW key to select “Man”.
4 Use the UP ARROW key to set an average moisture for the load.
5 Press the key to the right of the line displaying moisture to deselect
the line.
Note:
•
Any new loads you create will have the same moisture setting as that of
the last load in the same field.
•
You can only change the moisture if “man” is selected.
•
The monitor either uses all the automatic readings or the manual
moisture value for the entire load.
Buildup on the
Sensor The moisture sensor can give readings that are too high if sticky material
from weeds or green stems buildup on the moisture sensor. This is normally
only a problem in soybeans with a lot of weeds or green stems. If you have
high moisture readings, remove the moisture sensor from the combine,
check it for buildup, and clean it. After cleaning, continue harvesting. If the
buildup condition is severe, you may not be able to keep the moisture sensor
clean. In such conditions, set the moisture for the load on manual and enter
the average moisture for that load as instructed above. After buildup
conditions end, set the moisture back to automatic.
Note:
If buildup is severe, check your flow sensor for buildup on the impact plate
attached to the black load cell.
