Automatic setting of the chop length by maturity level detection (AutoScan)
The system uses the AutoScan sensor to detect the degree of maturity of the maize plant.
The AutoScan control electronics calculate the optimum cutting length of the maize plant from
the previously entered minimum and maximum chopping length and control the speed of the
pre-compression rollers accordingly.
The chop length is not further enlarged above a degree of maturity of approx. 66% and is not
further reduced below 33%, as a higher or lower value is unlikely in practice.

Explanation
1
Enter the maximum chop length that is to be automatically actuated. The
value can also be entered using the keys
(to reduce the set value)
and
(to enlarge the set value).
2
Enter the minimum chop length that is to be automatically actuated. The
value can also be entered using the keys

4
Setting as to whether the "AutoScan" degree of maturity sensor is present
(only effective after a restart).
– Degree of maturity sensor present
– Degree of maturity sensor not present
5
Status of automatic chop length adjustment
– Automatic adjustment of the chop length active. The AutoScan sensor
adopts the chop length setting in the specified area.
– Manual adjustment of chop length active.
