1. Install Yield Monitor 

 

Components used in this step: 

 

 

  Yield Monitor    

 

                20 ft. Primary Cable 

 

The Yield Monitor installs in the cab of your combine. It needs to be powered by 12V switched 

power. Since it contains a GPS antenna, it should be mounted as close to the centerline of your 

combine as possible (alternatively, the Yield Monitor cab be mounted elsewhere and an 

external GPS antenna can be connected and mounted along the centerline)  

 

Install Yield Monitor: 

1.

 

Remove any headliner panels or lights needed to access 12V switched power and a 

space to install the yield monitor. 

2.

 

Locate 12V switched power lines to tap into. 

3.

 

Use the supplied T-Splice Connectors to connect to +12V & Ground. Use pliers to snap 

the T-Splice Connectors onto the wires. Be sure to use the correct size connector, and 

ensure the connector “snaps” shut.  

Use the Blue T-Splice connector for 18-14 AWG wire 
Use the Blue T-Splice connector for 22-18 AWG wire. 

4.

 

With the T-Splice connectors attached to 12V switched power, attach the Red & Black 

spade connectors from the leads on the Primary Cable to +12V & Ground, respectively. 

5.

 

Connect the 15 Pin connector of the Primary Cable to the Yield Monitor & tighten 

screws. 

a.

 

To test the power: turn on the combine, then use your smartphone to 

search/scan for Bluetooth devices. A device called “YM:___” should appear. 

6.

 

Install YM on center-line of combine. Remove any panels or lights necessary to access a 

spot along the centerline. Mount the Yield Monitor with the label facing skyways and 

use double sided tape to mount it in place. 

A potential place to mount the the Yield Monitor for the installation pictured here 

would be in front of the cab light on the center-line. 

a.

 

If power access and cable routing is too difficult, or your combine has a metal 

roof, then see below  

7.

 

Using an external GPS: screwing an external GPS on to the threaded SMA connector on 

the Yield Monitor will turn off the internal GPS, and instead use the attached antenna. 

This allows you to mount the Yield Monitor anywhere in the cab or on the roof.
