CONTROLLER - FIGURE 69
The metal detector is managed by the electronic controller located on the harvester above the hydraulic
manifold. It controls the transmission F-N-R and the emergency stop system. An indicator light on the
controller shows the state of the system.

Green – Active

Orange – Feedroll stop pawl locked or feedroll speed reading error.

Red – Metal detected
The metal detector can be set to three different sensitivity levels for best performance according to specific
conditions. It uses a variable threshold that adjusts itself to the harvest conditions (length of cut, vibrations,
impacts, etc.) to maximise the detection power. The sensitivity can however be reduced to minimise the risks
of false detections and useless stops in specific difficult conditions (Heavy wear of the feedolls for example).
The variable threshold system is based on the rotation of the feedrolls and thus requires the feedroll speed
sensor to work. In case of a faulty speed sensor, the system remains functional but at a lower sensitivity and
reliability fixed threshold.
