DETASSELING SYSTEMS
If the quad pullers move up too easily
when a taller stalk of corn passes, increase
the parameter toward T4. If the quad pullers
stay deep too long when taller corn passes,
decrease the parameter toward T1.
Generally, this parameter can be left at T3.
To display the Top Parameter:
•
Press the Auto/Manual Switch (located
on the Tasseltrol Control Panel) in the
UP (Auto) position.
•
Press the On/Off Switch (located on the
Tasseltrol Control Panel) in the UP (On)
position. Wait approximately three (3)
seconds for the “Select Manual” mes-
sage to appear.
•
Press the LIFT UP Switch under “PAR”.
•
Press the LIFT UP Switch under the “T”
value.
The active value of the parameter is
indicated by it blinking on and off while the
other three options are displayed
continuously.
To select a new value for the parameter:
•
Press the LIFT UP Switch under the
desired selection.
•
After selecting one of the four options,
press the LIFT 1 DOWN Switch to
escape this parameter.
•
To save new values and escape the
parameter mode, press the LIFT 1
DOWN Switch a second time.
Tasseltrol Bottom Parameter
The Bottom Parameter is used to adjust
the sensitivity time of the bottom photocell.
The bottom photocell stops the down motion
when it’s light path is blocked by corn.
Selecting one of the four values (B1, B2, B3,
or B4) will set how much corn the photocell
has to see before it stops moving down.
NOTE: When B1 is selected, the down move
will stop as soon as corn is detected.
The normal (default) value for this
parameter is B1, but can be set to
any desired value.
If the quad pullers run too shallow after
moving down into shorter corn, increase the
parameter toward B4. If the quad pullers
move too deep when going into shorter corn
or oscillates between the top and bottom
photocells, decrease the parameter toward
B1. Generally, this parameter can be left at
B1.
To display the Bottom Parameter:
•
Press the Auto/Manual Switch (located
on the Tasseltrol Control Panel) in the
UP (Auto) position.
•
Press the On/Off Switch (located on the
Tasseltrol Control Panel) in the UP (On)
position. Wait approximately three (3)
seconds for the “Select Manual” mes-
sage to appear.
•
Press the LIFT UP Switch under “PAR”.
•
Press the LIFT UP Switch under the “B”
value.
The active value of the parameter is
indicated by it blinking on and off while the
other three options are displayed
continuously.
To select a new value for the parameter:
•
Press the LIFT UP Switch under the
desired selection.
•
After selecting one of the four options,
press the LIFT 1 DOWN Switch to
escape this parameter.
•
To save new values and escape the
parameter mode, press the LIFT 1
DOWN Switch a second time.
