Installation of the 500C15 Moisture Sensor Kit
Mounting the 500C15 Precision Information Processor (PIP)
- Locate the Precision Information Processor (006-5671LS2).
- Lock the baler’s flywheel brake and lift and open the front hood.
- Locate the four holes by the fly wheel brake. Figure 5
- Insert four M8 x 60mm full thread hex bolts with lock washers in these holes. Note: heads of bolts are on the inside of baler’s main frame. Secure bolts by attaching M8 x 24mm coupling nut spacer to outside of baler main frame.
- Place two 5/16’ fender washers on top two bolts. Place two 5/16” thick washers on bottom two bolts.
- Mount the PIP with the cable pointed down. Install M8 lock washers and nuts but do not tighten down.
- Install the PIP shield (001-5650X) between the 5/16” fender washer and mounting feet of the PIP on the top two M8 x 60mm. Now tighten all hardware.
Installation of Star Wheel Moisture Sensors
- Locate the two star wheel moisture sensors (030-4641) and twine diverters (001-4644 & 001-4645)
- Directly behind the knotters, locate the four predrilled holes per side shown at the arrows. This location is also beneath the lift points on top of the baler. Figure 8
- Install the eight (four per side) M8 x 80mm Allen head cap screws. Make sure the Allen heads are in the bale chamber. Secure using M8 hex nuts. Figure 9
- Install the star wheels below the lift points on the baler. Figure 8 & 9
- Install the twine diverters over the star wheel sensor. The twine diverter with two extra holes will be installed on the right star wheel when looking from the rear of the baler toward the tractor.
- Secure the star wheels and twine diverters with four M8 hex nuts, lock washers, and two flat washers. Figure 9
Connecting the Star Wheels to the PIP
Locate
the moisture harness (006-4640E3). 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 left 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 PIP. Secure loose wires with cable ties.
Connecting the Harnesses to the PIP
- Install the green capped terminating resistor (006-5650Z) to the Precision Information Processor (PIP).
- Route the communication harness (006-5650I3) from the PIP to the baler. Attach the harness to the whip harness coming off the base of the PIP. Secure harness from PIP to baler communication port.
- Install the grey terminating resistor (006-4640J) on the open end of the communication harness (006-5650I3) next to the PIP.
- Install the moisture harness (006-4640I3) into the PIP at the port marked Moisture Sensor. Secure harness from PIP to star wheels.
Power On and Calibrating
Prior to Power On a 5amp fuse will need to be installed in the baler fuse box at location F5. Please refer to the baler operations manual to calibrate and test the system.
Common Questions
The moisture content displays “0%” or “HIGH” all the time.
When the moisture content display does not change frequently while bailing,
there is likely a faulty star wheel connection. One of the first places to
check is inside the white star wheel block. Check to see if the electronic
swivel is in the star wheel shaft and check to see that the star wheel shaft
is not working out of the block.
Also check star wheel wires and connections to see if there is a continuity or
grounding problem.
Another possible cause could be dirt in the terminating resistor on the side
of the PIP. Wipe clean and use dielectric grease. Or replace it.
