After the value has been entered, press the EXE key to accept the setting. Do not press
the right arrow because the entered value will be overwritten with the real-time reading.
After the value has been accepted, the SS-LRX will be advance to the next moisture
sample entry. The ‘MST 1’ indicates the same data curve is being calibrated and the
‘New 2’ represents the second point of the calibration.

Repeat this procedure with all of the grain samples. The accuracy of the curve will be
dependent upon the number of samples and the accuracy of the known sample moisture.
When the calibration process is complete, press ESC key three times to return to the
Main Menu.
WEIGHT CALIBRATION
Before beginning, please read the following important weight calibration procedures.
1. The suspension of the weigh bucket should be checked for friction. Any tie rod ends
should rotate freely. All tie rods need to be installed to not influence the weight
readings. The rods should be in the horizontal position. To check for friction, press
down on the weigh hopper and release. With the weight displayed on the Seed
Spector, observe the stabilized weight reading. Then lift up on the weigh hopper
and release, observe the stabilized Seed Spector reading. A variation in the two
readings indicates there is friction in the hopper system. Repeat the procedure
several times to verify. Correct any problems with the hopper suspension before
calibrating the weight.
2. It is recommended that the engine of the combine not be running when the weight is
being calibrated. Or if it is necessary to run the engine, then none of the combine
mechanisms should be engaged to cause excess vibration during the weight
calibration. The calibration routine in the Seed Spector is designed to reject entry of
data if the weight readings are changing too much due to vibration. So it is best to
calibrate with the engine off.
To calibrate the weight, use the down arrow to select ‘
Calibrate ’ from the main menu.
Press the EXE key and the calibration data types appear.
