Safety

Carefully read all safety signs in this manual and on the moisture sensor kit before use. Keep signs clean and clear of obstruction to view. Replace missing or damaged safety signs. Replacement signs are available from your local authorized dealer. See your installation manual under the replacement parts section for the correct part numbers. Keep your moisture sensor kit in proper working condition. Unauthorized modifications to the moisture sensor kit may impair the function and/or safety of the machine. Carefully read and understand all safety signs before installing or servicing.

Installing the 600A1 Moisture Sensor Kit

Mounting the Dual Channel Processor (DCP)
Locate the Dual Channel Processor (006-6671LS), four 5/16” x 1” hex bolts, flats, locks, and nuts. Mark, and drill four 3/8” (9.525 mm) holes following the template shown below. The whip wire extension on the DCP should be facing down when attached to the baler. Mount the DCP cover (001-5650X) over the DCP and secure the hardware.

Installing Star Wheels

The star wheel block has a plug on one side and a wire grommet on the other side. If there is interference or problems with the star wheel wires on one side of the block, exchange the wire grommet with the plug so the wire can exit the block on the opposite side. Mount the twine guards using the two inner holes on the star wheel block. The star wheels are to be mounted on top of the baler just behind the knotters and under the walkway on both sides. The notch and holes for the star wheels are pre-cut. Place the spacer plate (001-6707E) over the pre-cut holes. Attach with 5/16” x 1/2″ Allen head bolts and internal star washers from inside the bale chamber. Center the star wheels over the top of the spacer plate, place the twine diverters on top of the star wheel and attach with 5/16” x 2-1/4” hex bolt and lock washers. For the remaining two holes of each star wheel attach with a 5/16” x 2-1/4″ hex bolt, lock washer, and one 5/16” thick flat washer per bolt. Verify the star wheels align with the bale chamber before tightening all hardware. (The twine guard with the two additional holes should be placed on the right side of the baler looking from the rear).

Wiring Installation

Connecting to the Baler Harness

Connecting the Star Wheels to the DCP

Locate the moisture harness (006-4640E2). Remove the four pan head screws on each star wheel and loosen the grommet. Insert the eye loop of the wire into the star wheel block and install on the end of the swivel. Leave a loop in the wire to allow the star wheel cover space to be reinstalled. Tighten the swivel nut, followed by the grommet, and finally install and tighten the four screws. The picture to the right shows the star wheel block open with the wire looped and attached to the swivel. Once both wheels are complete route the harness towards the DCP on the back right twine box. Be sure to mount and secure all harnesses away from hydraulic lines and moving parts.

Connecting the Harnesses to the DCP

1. Install the green-capped terminating resistor (006-5650Z) to the Dual Channel Processor (DCP).
2. Route the communication harness (006-6650VC) from the baler to the DCP. Attach the harness to the whip harness coming off the base of the DCP. Secure harness from DCP to baler communication port.
3. Install the baler’s black terminating resistor to the open end of the communication harness (006-6650VC) next to the DCP.
4. Install the moisture harness (006-4640E2) into the DCP at the port marked Moisture Sensor. Secure harness from DCP to star wheels.
