Calibrating

Distance

Follow these procedures to calibrate the monitor for distance:

Step Action

1 Press the DIST key until “SPD=WHL or TRK or RAD or

GPS/WHL or GPS/TRK or GPS/RAD” is displayed. Use the

lower right UP or DOWN ARROW keys to change “SPD=” to:

WHL if you are using the wheel speed sensor on the combine for

ground speed

TRK if you are using the track speed sensor on the combine for

ground speed

RAD if you are using a radar gun for ground speed

Note:

If you are using a GPS receiver for ground speed (monitor set on

SPD=GPS/WHL, GPS/TRK or GPS/RAD) you still need to set

speed equal to either WHL, TRK or RAD and do a distance

calibration for the backup speed sensor. The monitor will start

using the selected backup speed sensor if the GPS signal is lost.

Do not set “SPD=” to anyone of the three GPS settings when

calibrating distance.

Example:

If you are using your GPS receiver as the ground speed sensor and

you are using the wheel speed sensor on the combine as the backup

speed sensor, you must calibrate distance for the wheel speed

sensor by setting SPD=WHL. However, the speed setting you

should leave the monitor set on for field operation is

SPD=GPS/WHL.

2 With the AREA COUNT SWITCH down and the red light on

(distance and area counting stopped), pick a spot on the combine

and align it with the marking at one end of the measured distance.

3 Flip the AREA COUNT SWITCH up, and, if necessary, lower the

head enough to make the red light turn off.

4 Press the DIST key until “x FT” is displayed.

5 Drive the measured distance, stopping at the end mark.

6 Flip the AREA COUNT SWITCH down (red light turns on).
