FarmTRX Yield Monitor – Install Guide.
Before installing, make sure to read the Quick Start Guide:
www.FarmTRX.com/documentation
This guide will walk through the installation of a FarmTRX Yield Monitor. It is shown being
installed on a New Holland CR9060, but should be typical of all New Holland CR series & Case
AFX combines, and is similar to the install process for most other combines.
System Overview:
Overview of Installation Locations
1.
FarmTRX Yield Monitor:
The “brains” of the operation. This device features an on-board
computer that connects to the optical yield sensors, 16gb of on-board storage (enough
to store years of harvesting data), a GPS antenna, and Bluetooth connectivity for pairing
with a smartphone or tablet. It mounts in the cab and needs to be wired into switched
12V power.
1.1 GPS Antenna (optional):
This is required when it is not possible to mount the Yield
Monitor along the center-line of the cab, or if the harvester cab has a metal roof.
2.
Mass-Flow Optical Sensors:
Two sensors will be installed on either side of the clean
grain elevator. A light beam is sent between the two sensors, allowing for the
measurement of the volume of grain on each paddle. These sensors will be wired
directly to the Yield Monitor through the supplied harnesses.
