PF3000 Cotton Yield Monitor
Using a Radar Gun
Ag Leader Technology
March 2002
Introduction
To more accurately measure ground speed on sloping fields or in muddy
conditions where the wheels slip, you can use a radar gun. Sensors
compatible with the monitor are:
• Dickey-john • Case IH Magnum
• Magnavox • John Deere
• MicroTrak sonar gun
Necessary Cables
If you intend to use a radar gun, you must buy a radar cable for your specific
sensor from an Ag Leader Technology dealer.
Installing a Radar
In a Cotton Picker
Step Action
1 Disconnect the existing ground speed cable from your picker speed
sensor at the distribution cable. Leave the cable routed in case you
want to use the picker’s speed sensor again.
2 Mount the radar unit on the picker in a position where it will not be
damaged and will be aimed between plant rows. Consult your
installation instruction.
3 Route the radar cable (or if Dickey-john, the radar unit's integral
cable) to the Distribution cable of the PF3000.
4 Connect the radar cable (if Dickey-john, integral cable) to the four-
pin round connector on the distribution cable.
Changing Speed
Setting
Press the SETUP key and VEHICLE key to view the vehicle setup screen.
Refer to the vehicle setup instructions in the setup section and change the
primary speed sensor to "Radar". You must perform a distance calibration
for radar. Refer to the distance calibration instructions in the calibration
instructions.
