Temperature Calibration

Note: Temperature calibration should be performed when the sensor has
not been in direct sunlight or sitting next to grain. The reading should
be an accurate reading of the surrounding air temperate.

Under the CALIBRATION tab select the TEMPERATURE
button.

Use the arrow keys to change the temperature to the known
outside air temperature.

Step

The Offset will change to reflect the temperature calibration.
When complete press EXIT.

Moisture Calibration

Things to remember during moisture calibration:
• Temperature calibration should be completed before this calibration.

• Moisture calibration must be completed before weight calibration.

• You only need to calibrate moisture once per grain.

• Calibrating moisture on one load affects all loads for that grain type.

• You must calibrate for each grain type.

Harvest one load of grain. Randomly sample grain from several
locations in the grain tank to collect an average moisture for this
load, then measure the actual moisture using an accurate
moisture tester.

Under Harvest Setup, choose the CALIBRATION tab and
select the MOISTURE button.

Select the Field and Region that a moisture sample was taken
from. Use the arrow keys to adjust the recorded moisture so
that it matches the known moisture of the sample that was taken.

Step

The Offset will change to reflect the moisture calibration.
When complete press ACCEPT.

Weight Calibration

Things to remember during weight calibration:

• Temperature and moisture should be calibrated before weight

• Calibration loads should be uniform in size, preferably around

3000 lbs.

• Weight calibration can be completed at any time during the season

• Use a consistent grain flow for each load (region).

• Harvest each load at a different flow rate. Grain flow can be altered

by changing ground speed for each load (recommended) or using
different swath widths for each load.
For Example: R1: 2 mph, R2: 3 mph, R3: 4 mph, R4: 5 mph.

• For the most accurate results use four to eight calibration loads.

• To eliminate confusion identifying calibration loads, use appropriate

region names (ex: R1: 2 mph cal).

Under the Region selection on the RUN screen, create a new
region and put a check mark next to FLAG AS
CALIBRATION LOAD.

Beginning with an empty grain tank, harvest a load of at least
3,000 pounds.
Empty grain tank completely onto truck or wagon and weigh
with an accurate scale. Record each individual load weight to be
entered in the monitor.

Repeat steps 6a-6c for a minimum of four calibration loads.

Under Harvest Setup, choose the CALIBRATION tab and
select the Crop Type to be calibrated. Each load that has been
flagged as a calibration load for that crop type will show up on
the screen.

Select one of the loads and press the ENTER WEIGHT button.
Enter the Actual Weight and press ACCEPT. Repeat this step
for each calibration load.

After actual weights have been entered check the loads to be
used and press the PERFORM CALIBRATION button.
When linear calibration is complete press YES to perform
calibration.

Note: You will only be able to perform a linear calibration with
less than four loads. (For best accuracy full calibration is
required)

When calibration is complete, examine error and press OK.

Step

If average error is over 3%, uncheck the load with the maximum
error and re-perform calibration. You must still have four loads
checked to perform a full calibration.
