3.2.2 Installing the mechanical counting sensor (if present)
The mechanical counting sensor is used if the monitor is installed on a standard
combine harvester. It can be secured to the lower part of the bar so that when this
lowers, the spring is released and the hectare count begins (parameter “Ct” = A, as
factory-set) (see Figure 5
– ref. A2).
!
Attention!
Adjust the trip point of the switch by changing the number of links in the
chain.
Figure 5. Installing the sensor in the lower part of the bar.
If necessary, the switch can also be secured to the upper part of the bar, by setting
parameter “Ct” = C (see chapter 5, “Programming work parameters”). This way, when
the bar is lowered, the spring is tensioned, and the hectare count begins (see Figure
6
– ref. B2).

Warning
The sensor cable should be covered with a rubber sheath.
