Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing a Harvest Tec Model 880 GPS attachment. The GPS harness will
allow you attach a Garmin 16xHVS receiver to
Harvest Tec’s 600 moisture monitoring system or the
665 preservative applicator system. This will allow you to collect important baling information to create
yield files for each individual job. The model 880GPS includes the Garmin 16xHVS receiver to connect
to your Harvest Tec
system, and Harvest Tec’s yield mapping file converter program.
Overview
The Harvest Tec model 880GPS gathers WAAS information on the fly and sends it to the main
processor. With this information the system creates a yield mapping file that will be stored within the
processor on 600/665 systems. This yield file,
after being converted by Harvest Tec’s yield mapping
conversion program, can be useful to the user for present and future field management. The yield file
is capable of being loaded into any type of field management software.
The yield file created will indicate
where each bale was tied off. If you have Harvest Tec’s Bale
Identification System you will then have the ability to write that coordinate to the Tag and this will give
you not only proof of what field the bale came from but also the approximate location of where the bale
was made.
Installation of GPS Receiver & Harness
Installation of GPS Receiver
Locate the Garmin 16xHVS receiver. The GPS receiver will be mounted on top of your baler in front of
the misstie
flag indicators or if they’re not present on a flat surface near the knotter cover/door. This
location should give the GPS receiver the best available location
.
Installation of GPS Harness
Connect the plug end of the harness from the Garmin receiver into the Optional Port on the Dual
Channel Processor (DCP) on the baler.
Secure harness to baler with supplied cable ties, making sure wiring harness is not in any pinch points
and will not come in contact with moving parts on the baler.
