Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Moisture reading errors (high or
low)
1. Wire disconnected or bad
connection between star wheels and
DCP
1. Reconnect wire.
2. Low power supply to DCP
2. Check voltage at box. (Min of 12
volts required.) See Diagnostics
section of manual.
3. Dry hay lower than 8% moisture
or wet hay over 75%.
3. Pre-Compression System reads
6-60% moisture. The Bale Chute
system read 6-40% moisture.
4. Ground contact with one or both
star wheels and baler mounted
processor.
4. Reconnect.
5. Short in wire between star wheels
and DCP.
5. Replace wire.
6. Check hay with hand tester to
verify.
6. Contact Harvest Tec if conditions
persist.
Moisture readings erratic.
1. Test bales with hand tester to
verify that DCP has more variation
than hand tester.
2. Check all wiring connections for
corrosion or poor contact.
2. Apply dielectric grease to all
connections.
3. Check power supply at tractor.
Voltage should be constant between
12 and 14 volts.
3. Install voltage surge protection on
tractors alternator.
Display reads under or over
power.
1. Verify with multi-meter actual
voltage. Voltage range should be
between 12-14 volts.
1. Clean connections and make sure
applicator is hooked to battery. See
Diagnostics section of manual.
Bale rate displays zero.
1. Bale rate sensors are reversed.
2. Short in cable.
3. Damaged sensor.
4. Sensor too far from starwheel.
1. Switch the sensors next to the
star wheel.
2. Replace cable.
3. Replace sensor.
4. Adjust gap between prox sensor
and star wheel so it is 1/8-
1/4” away.
MWM moisture reads low all
the time
1.Stuffer sensor out of adjustment
1. Verify stuffer sensor is not
damage and is sensing the stuffer
moving each time
Bluetooth Receiver lights will
not illuminate
1. Bluetooth receiver not connected
2. Harness disconnected
3. Low power
1. Check connections and voltage.
Minimum 12.5V needed.
Red Light
– The Bluetooth receiver has power
Green Light
– When the proper active connection is selected in the Hay App
menu, the green light will indicate connection with the iPad.
