• Hammer
• Electric drill and bits
• Center punch
• Side cutter
• Plasma cutter
• The standard nut driver set
• Grinding wheel
• Standard socket set

Microwave Sensor Installation – 601A, 700MWM

Begin by opening the side shields on the baler and go to the right side of the baler so you can see the right side of the pre-compression chamber (PCC). Locate the mounting template in the kit. Removed the bolt (red arrow in figure

1. that attached the linkage that is in the way, and position the linkage out of the way.

Locate the right side sheet of the PCC and locate the two slotted holes along the front edge that attach the stripper band to the PCC side sheet. Align the slots on the template with the slots on the side sheet (figure 2). Clamp the template in place and use a marker or paint pen to mark the location for the eight holes that will need to be drilled, and also mark the rectangular area that will be cut out (figure 3).

Align the curved edge of the template with the curved edge of the pre- compression chamber. Align the template so the straight top edge is parallel and 5-1/2” below the edge of the angle bracket. Clamp the template in place to the side of the pre-compression chamber and mark 8 holes and cutout locations. Mirror on the opposite side (figure 4).

In the eight locations indicated by the marks, drill 3/8” (10mm) diameter holes for the mounting bolts. Cut the rectangular area out using a grinder with a cutoff wheel, reciprocating saw, or plasma cutter. The final results should look similar to the picture (figure 5). Test the fitment by placing the plastic filler plate (001-2600FP) in the rectangular hole. If the filler plate extrusion does not fully fit in the cutout, modify the cutout until the flanges of the filler plate fit flush against the outside of the PCC (figure 6).

Install eight bolts 5/16”x 1” BHCS from the inside of the pre-compression chamber through the side of the PCC and the plastic filler plate (001-2600FP). Secure the top two bolts and bottom two bolts with 5/16” flanged nuts. Place a mounting bracket over each of the two bolts on the sides of the filler plate and secure with 5/16” flanged nuts (figure 7). The right-hand side mounting brackets (001-2600) should be aligned parallel with the long edges of the filler plate. Locate the sensor that says RX on the gray connector and mount it to the brackets using four 5/16-3/4” bolts and flanged nuts (figure 8). The grey connector should be pointing down toward the ground.

Repeat the procedure on the left side of the PCC for marking the locations, drilling and cutting, and mounting. The sensor labeled TX on the gray connector needs to be mounted on the left-hand side with the connector towards the ground.

Locate the 006-7400 harness (stuffer sensor) and the L-shaped bracket (001-4648SS) from the parts bag. Attach the stuffer sensor to the bracket loosely and locate the shielding on the right-hand side of the baler ahead of the stuffer.
Position the stuffer sensor and L-bracket against the outside of the shield so the sensor is positioned within 3/8” (10mm) of the stuffer (figure 9). Mark the mounting hole location and attach the bracket to the shielding using at least one of the 5/16-1” hex bolts and a flange nut. Secure the sensor to the bracket by tightening the jam nuts. Route the wire from the sensor along the existing wiring along the frame towards the rear of the PCC (figure 10). Secure with cable ties.

Locate the MWM wiring harness (006-6650MW) in the kit. Start by locating the connector with the white heat shrink label marked RX. Connect this connector to the sensor mounted on the right side of the PCC (006-4641MRX). Locate the longer lead that is labeled TX. Route this wire behind the PCC in an area where it will not be pinched or snagged. Locate the bearing on each side of the PCC (figure 11). It works well to route the wire across to the other side by routing the wire below that pivoting assembly and securing it with cable ties. Connect the connector labeled TX to the MWM sensor on the left-hand side (006-4641MTX). Secure excess harness slack with cable ties.

Route the rest of the harness along the existing wiring toward the top of the chamber. The wire from the stuffer sensor will be connected to the 4 pin connector coming off the main harness about 2’ (.6M) from the right-hand sensor.
Route the MWM harness (006-6650MW) to the DCP on the baler and remove the green-capped terminating resistor (006-5650Z) on the pump modular port, connecting the MWM sensors. Secure harness with cable ties.
If there is already an additional module connected to the DCP (PAC, Tagger, ect.) route the MWM harness to the module that contains the green-capped terminator (006-5650Z). Remove the terminator and attach the MWM harness. Store the green-capped connector in a location where it will not be lost (for example toolbox on baler).

Moisture Installation – 701MWM

• Locate the mounting holes on the back of both the left and right sides of the bale chute (figure 1).
• Mount the rear microwave moisture mounting brackets 001-2601 (figure 2) on the holes using two 3/8” x 3 1/2″ hex bolts, nuts, and lock washers located in parts bag D.

Attach the microwave moisture sensors to each mounting bracket. Sensor 006-4641MTX will be mounted on the left side of the bale chute (figure 3). Sensor 006-4641MRX will be mounted on the right side (figure 4). Mount the sensors with the wire connection port toward the baler.

Locate the MWM wiring harness (006-6650MWL) in the kit. Start by locating the connector with the white heat shrink label marked RX. Connect this connector to the sensor mounted on the right side chute (006-4641MRX).
If connecting to a moisture-only system route the MWM harness (006-6650MWL) to the DCP on the baler and remove the green-capped terminating resistor (006-5650Z) on the pump modular port, connecting the MWM sensors. Secure the harness. If connecting to a complete applicator system route the MWM harness (006-6650MWL) to the Pump Controller (006-5672) on the pump plate next to the tank and remove the green-capped terminating resistor (006-5650Z) on the pump modular port. Connect the MWM harness to the pump controller in the modular port. Secure the harness. The green resistor is no longer needed.

Common Questions

Can microwave sensors function with 500 series PIP?

• No, microwave sensors are only compatible w/600 Series units running software version dcp46227 or later.

Can microwave sensors function through a Harvest Tec Touch Screen Display?

• No, microwave sensors require an ISOBUS Interface (VT) or iPad system to set the microwave settings.

What terminal is required to operate the microwave sensor?

• Microwave sensors are compatible with VT & iPads.

What moisture range will sensors detect?

• Pre-Compression Chamber microwave sensors have a moisture range of 6-60% moisture. The Bale Chute chamber sensors have a range of 6-40%.

How do I know if I’m displaying microwave or star wheel moisture?

• The sensor type selected is indicated in the upper right corner of the run screen (right). MC-0 indicates starwheels, MC-1 indicates MWM Pre-Compression Chamber, MC-2 indicates MWM Bale Chamber System, MWM-3 indicates other.

What crops are the microwave sensors designed for?

• The Microwave sensors are designed and calibrated for Alfalfa.

Is there a calibration to the microwave sensors for different crops?

• No, there is no adjustments needed.

Do the sensors emit harmful waves?

• No

How often should a Zero Adjust (ZA) be performed?

• A zero adjustment should be performed on the initial installation. It is also recommended during a zero adjust calibration at the beginning of each season.

When reading moisture with microwave sensors why can I not select Automatic mode?

• MWM Pre-Compression sensors can be used in both Auto and Manual modes. MWM Bale Chute sensors can only be used in Manual Mode due to the lag time between the application tops and the sensors.

Where does the green terminating resistor plug into microwave sensors?

• The green resistor (006-5650Z) is not used. Store the resistor for potential updates and changes you may make to the system in the future.

Where do I position the 840 moisture dye marker spray tip when operating microwave sensors in the pre-compression chamber?

• Dye marking tips should be located behind (toward the rear end of the chute) MWM Chute sensors, with the tips angled toward the rear at a 45-degree angle. Alternative mounting would locate the dye marking tips above the bale w/ the brackets mounted off the top cross beam. When using a Pre-Compression system mount the tips as close to the front of the bale chamber as possible, either on the side if there is clearance or on the top of the bale.

What do the lights on the 030-6672B indicate?

• Red Light – The Bluetooth receiver has power. Green Light – When the proper active connection is selected in the Hay App menu, the green light will indicate a connection with the iPad.
