Figure 4.36: Automatic Controls and Sensitivity
Settings
1. Automatic Control Functions: There are toggle (OFF/ON)
switches on the HEADER SETTINGS page for the automatic
control functions. For MacDon headers, ensure that the
following two functions are enabled as shown:
• RTC (return to cut) (A)
• AHHC (automatic header height control) (B)
All other switches should be disabled (not highlighted).
2. Sensitivity setting (C) controls how responsive a control
(RTC or AHHC) is to a given change in sensor feedback. The
setting fields are located directly below the toggle switches.
To enter a new sensitivity setting, touch the setting field
below the specific toggle switch, and enter the new value in
the on-screen keyboard.
• Increase the sensitivity if the combine does not change
the feeder position quickly enough when in Auto Mode.
• Decrease the sensitivity if the combine continually
hunts for a position in Auto Mode.
NOTE:
The recommended sensitivity settings for MacDon headers
are:
• 50 for RTC (A)
• 60 for AHHC (B)
