Optical Sensor Item Explanation
Noise level
Indicates how clean the optical sensor signal is and if the noise level
is too high.
This number should be less than 30% for best performance. If larger
values are seen, check the following:
l Optical sensor interference
l Worn paddles
l Optical sensors protruding too far into the chamber
l Installation in the wrong location (too low on elevator).
Elevator speed
Frequency of paddles, typically 15 Hz to 20 Hz
l
Unusually low numbers:Indicate the system is not seeing the
paddles
This most likely occurs when running empty. Inspect the
optical sensor installation.
l
Unusually high numbers:Typically be accompanied by large
noise levels
Inspect the optical sensor installation.
Percent Dark
The duty cycle.
This data can be used to determine if you are close to exceeding the
capacity of the combine.
