HARVEST TEC 600RBC Moisture Sensor Kit

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Harvest Tec Model 600RBC Moisture Monitor System. This 600RBC Moisture Monitoring System has been designed to be operated through an Apple iPad (not included) using the Hay App. As well as the option to plug directly into most tractors that have an ISOBUS Monitor. The 600RBC Moisture Monitoring System offers these advantages by operating through an Apple iPad:

1. Large bright, clear, colorful display
2. More durable and can be read in bright sunlight
3. Can be used for multiple other uses than just the applicator display
4. Option to tie into the tractor ISOBUS system

The 600RBC Moisture Monitor kit includes the following parts: Dual Channel Processor (DCP), Moisture Sensors, and Harnesses. For your convenience, a parts breakdown for the 600RBC Moisture Monitoring System is included in the back of this manual. If you do have questions please bring this manual to the dealership. Right, and Left sides are determined by facing in the direction of forwarding travel.

System Requirements

• Made for iPad® running the current iOS operating system or one version previous required for the iPad option
  iPad is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

• 600 Series Applicators with serial numbers before DCP27000 will require the DCP to be sent to Harvest Tec for a required update in order to use the iPad Integration Module (030-6672C).

• Hay App version must be at least 2.7.1 (or higher) to operate with the iPad Integration Module

If choosing to operate the unit through the ISOBUS monitor, part number 006-6670A will need to be ordered through your local equipment dealer.

Tools Needed

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

Installation of Dual Channel Processor (DCP)

1. Locate mounting bolts on the support bar on the right side of the baler (Figure 1).
2. Install DCP mounting bracket 001-4703XI as shown (Figure 2).
3. Install DCP onto mounting bracket 001-4703XI and secure (Figure 3).
4. Cover with DCP Shield 001-5650X (not shown).

Installation of Moisture Sensing Pads

1. Open the rear tailgate of the baler and lock it in the up position. Refer to the baler manual to lock the door open.
2. Remove bale shaping discs on each side of the chamber by grinding welds. Once removed grind any remaining welds so the sides of the bale chamber are smooth.
3. Place plastic isolator (006-4641FX) in the same spot that the shaping disc had been. There should be a hole in the baler that matches up with the hole in the plastic isolator. If not, use the isolator as a template and mark the hole. Center punch the hole and drill it to 3/4″ (19mm)
4. ( Note: before drilling makes sure you are not drilling into sensitive equipment on the outside of the baler). Drill through the complete square tube. About two inches. Repeat for another side of the baler.
5. Insert plastic bushing (006-4641G) from the outside of the baler. Make sure it is flush with the outside of the baler frame. Go to the inside of the baler and mark the amount that protrudes into the chamber. Remove and cut off excess material. Repeat for another side.
6. Using 4” carriage bolt slide the parts on in the following order: metal disc (001-4641HX), plastic isolator (006-4641FX), and shortened plastic bushing (006-4641G).
7. Insert disc assembly into 3/8” (10mm) hole from inside of bale chamber. Secure to the outside of baler by attaching to the protruding carriage bolt in the following order: small isolator (006-4641), 1/2” D shaped washer, 1/2” lock washer, 1/2” jam nut. Tighten down and repeat for the other side. Make sure no part of the bolt or hardware makes contact with the frame of the baler-no metal to metal.
8. Route moisture harness (006-4640G3E) from processor down to the carriage bolt on each side. Make sure it does not come in contact with any moving parts. Secure with cable ties.
9. Attach moisture cable to moisture carriage bolt by placing items in the following order: 1/2” D shaped washer, Ring terminal of moisture harness (006-4640G3E), second 1/2” D washer, 1/2” lock washer, 1/2” Jam Nut. Tighten down and repeat for another side. Make sure none of the hardware comes in contact with the frame of the baler.

Installation of Bale Rate Timer Sensor

• The bale rate timer sensor is used to determine when the baler door is open. With this information, the system is able to change the tons/hour automatically. Refer to Operation Manual for Operation Instructions, Automatic Mode, and also record information per bale.
• Locate the sensor (006-7400) and the sensor bracket (001-4648RB). On the right side of the baler find a location 1”– 6” (25mm-15cm) down from the hinge to mount the bracket. Check for clearance with hydraulic cylinders before mounting the bracket. The bracket should be mounted to the front side of the hinge point, with the sensor aligned over the back door.
• Mark and drill two 1/4” holes and install the bracket using two 5/16” x 1-1/4” self-tapping bolts.
• Install the sensor into the bracket and leave 1/4” (7mm) of clearance between the end of the sensor and the door.
• The harness will need to be routed towards the DCP. Secure with cable ties, and be sure to avoid pinch points and hydraulic lines. The harness extension (006-7400EXT) may need to be used.

Installation of iPad Integration Control

Locate a safe location in the cab of the tractor to place the iPad Integration Control (030-6672C). The recommended location is securely fastened out of the operator’s way in a location that is close enough to reach with the iPad cord. Connect the Power / Communication harness (006-6650TM(E)) to the bottom of the receiver.

To operate the applicator, plug the iPad cord into the communication port indicated by:

iPad Integration Control Light Signals
