Transfer Time
This setting is the length of time that the chamber door will pause on open, when
transferring a bale from the chamber to the wrapper. There are three options for
transfer time:
1. “Short” will open the door fully and close it again with no pause
2. “Long” will open the door fully and pause on open, for a second, before closing
the door again
3. “Manual transfer” will open the door fully and it will remain open until the
operator presses the “chamber advance” button to continue the cycle. Manual
is only necessary in extremely difficult conditions.
Set this function to “Long” when baling straw, hay or other difficulty to transfer dry
crops. It may also be used when using the baler in difficult conditions, such as hills, but
this will increase the cycle time. Set this function to “Short” for all other baling
conditions.
Film Sensor
The film sensor monitors the passage of film through the dispenser rollers. If one
dispenser stops feeding film due to a roll coming to an end, the control box will give an
audible alarm and flash the “1 Dispenser Only” symbol. Bale rotation goes into 50/50
mode, rotating the bale at half speed and the remaining wrapper revolutions will be
doubled, so the correct film coverage will be applied for the remainder of the bale. If the
second dispenser empties, the dispensers will rotate slowly and stop at the loading
position. The control box will display the “Out of Film” symbol and wait.
NOTE: Pause the chamber opening
One press of Button 9 as the chamber is opening will pause the
chamber in the fully open position regardless of the transfer time
setting. Another press of Button 9 will close the chamber and resume
the cycle. This function is useful if facing down a very steep hill and if
the operator is unsure if the bale will transfer properly.
NOTE: The film sensor may be switched off, if desired
The film sensor may be switched off, if desired.
