Crop calibration factor
The default crop calibration factor (supplied on the
calibration spreadsheet with the install guide) will generally
require slight adjustment due to crop variation, crop
varieties and harvester operating characteristics.
Note: Discrepancies between the yield readings and the
weighbridge readings may indicate that crop calibration
factor adjustment is required, however this may also be
caused by inaccurate tare, crop density or moisture content
settings. These should be checked first.
Select to calculate the correction percentage, which
will update the crop calibration factor on this screen. See
page 42.
A new calibration factor corrects all existing summary data.
It is good practice to make a note of the existing factor for
future reference prior to adjustment.
The new factor is calculated as follows: (existing factor x
true weight) ÷ displayed weight reading
Moisture correction factor.
This figure is only required if a moisture sensor is fitted.
This setting may require adjustment if the storage moisture
content reading is different from that of a handheld
moisture meter.
If Storage Moisture Content (% m.c.) is 14 and the
moisture meter reading is 10, you would enter -4 here.
If a large offset is required, first check that the fin on the
moisture sensor is clean. (If it is clean, the sensor may need
re-calibrating).
If the Moisture Content figure is manually adjusted on the
Main screen, it is this figure that will be adjusted.
Note: If no moisture sensor is fitted, or it is switched off,
