PF3000 Pro Using a Radar Gun
Ag Leader Technology All Modes
July 2003 4-21
Introduction To more accurately measure ground speed on sloping fields or in muddy
conditions where the wheels slip, you can use a radar gun. Sensors
compatible with the monitor are:
•
Dickey-john
•
Case IH Magnum
•
Magnavox
•
John Deere
•
MicroTrak sonar gun
Necessary Cables If you intend to use a radar gun, you must buy an adapter cable for your
specific sensor from an Ag Leader Technology dealer. The adapter cable
provides power to the radar sensor.
Radar cables for combines
Two cables (only 1 if Dickey-john radar) are used to connect a radar gun to
the monitor when used in a combine:
•
The radar jumper cable fits between the distribution cable and the
moisture sensor's connector. This cable is required for all radar guns.
•
The second cable is an extension cable (not needed for Dickey-john
radar) and connects to the radar jumper cable and to the radar sensor.
Radar cables for tractors and other vehicles
Refer to the options section for instructions.
Installing a Radar Step Action
In a Combine 1 Disconnect the existing ground speed cable from your combine
speed sensor at the distribution cable. Leave the cable routed in case
you want to use the combine’s speed sensor again.
2 Mount the radar unit on the combine in a position where it will not
be damaged and will be aimed between plant rows. Consult your
installation instruction.
3 Route the extension cable (or if Dickey-john, the radar unit's integral
cable) to the Distribution cable of the PF3000 Pro.
4 Install the radar jumper between the distribution cable and moisture
sensor cable.
5 Connect the extension cable (if Dickey-john, integral cable) to the
four-pin round connector of the radar jumper cable.
