17 Yield Monitoring setup Yield sensor / moisture sensor calibration
l Load 1 = 4,547 lbs. @ 4 mph
l Load 2 = 3,834 lbs. @ 3 mph
l Load 3 = 2,764 lbs. @ 2mph
l Load 4 = 5,768 lbs. @ 5 mph
Cut width method
Note – It is highly recommended that you conduct at least three calibration loads to ensure that the system
provides accurate readings for all low, medium, and high flows throughout harvest. If you conduct only one
single load calibration, this may result in poor accuracy performance when harvesting outside the flow range
at which the system was initially calibrated.
1. Conduct a calibration load of 3,000-6,000 lbs. at your normal constant speed with a 100% cut
width (12 rows at 30 ft).
2.
Repeat this procedure for:
ll One load at 75% of the normal cut width (8 rows at 20 ft)
l One load at 50% of normal cut width (6 rows at 15 ft)
l
One load at 25% of normal cut width (3 rows at 7.5 ft) at the same constant speed
This provides a calibration curve for Low, Medium, and High.
Flows vary throughout the course of Harvest.
An example of calibration loads using this method is as follows:
ll Load 1 = 5,768 lbs. @ 4 mph @ 100%
l Load 2 = 4,547 lbs. @ 4 mph @ 75%
l Load 3 = 3,834 lbs. @ 4 mph @ 50%
l Load 4 = 2,764 lbs. @ 4 mph @ 25%
3. At the Yield Sensor Calibration screen for each load:
a. Enter the actual scale weight.
b. Enter the actual test weight (average of a minimum of three test weight measurements).
c. Select each load for which the actual weight and test weight will be calibrated.
d. Tap Update Calibration.
e. Tap Apply Calibration.
4. At the Moisture Sensor Calibration screen for each load:
a. Enter the actual moisture.
b. Select each load for which the actual moisture will be calibrated.
