tighten the four screws. Once both wheels are complete, route the harness
towards the DCP and secure loose wires with cable ties after the star wheels
are installed on the baler in the next step.
Installation of Star Wheel Moisture Sensors – 600BB
- 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 1).
- Install the eight (four per side) 5/16” X 3” Allen head cap screws. Make sure the Allen heads are in the bale chamber. Secure using 5/16” hex nuts (Figure 2).
- Install the star wheels below the lift points on the baler.
- 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 2).
Installation Bale Rate Harness – 600BB
The bale rate sensors will be factory installed on the right side twine guard
in the correct position. The sensor with the longer sensor wire will say
“FRONT” which indicates it should be placed in the front sensor hole. The
sensor wire with the shorter wire will say “BACK.”
The tip of the sensor should be placed no more than 1/4” (7mm) away from the
star wheel teeth and no less than 1/8” (3mm) from the star wheel teeth. Each
sensor will have an LED light located on the sensor by the diverter. Once the
unit is powered up spin the wheel and make sure that both led lights turn on
and off. If they don’t turn on and off, adjustments may need to be made.
Once the star wheel connection is complete, run the harness along the left
side baler frame to the Dual Channel Processor (DCP). The Dual Channel
Processor is located next to the flywheel brake.
Installation of Star Wheel Moisture Sensors – 600BBHD
- Locate the two star wheel moisture sensors (030-4641U) and star wheel reinforcement brackets (001-4644BBHD) show on the right and parts bag A.
- The two pre-drilled mounting holes for the star wheels are located past the knotters on the side of the top support bar running the length of the bale chute (Figure 1).
- Position the star wheel mounting holes and mark the width of the star wheel 3” (88mm). As well as the depth of the star wheel of 2” (50mm). This piece will need to be removed from the baler bracket in order for star wheel to fit flush with baler bracket (Figure 2).
- Position the left side reinforcement bracket (001-4644BHD) around the star wheel. This will be labeled ‘Left Side of Baler, This Side Up’. Shown mounted in Figure 3. Repeat mounting the star wheel and installation of the reinforcement bracket on the right side of baler.
- Locate the end of baler sensor bracket (001-4644SS) and the two bale rate sensors (006-7303S). The sensors will be pre-mounted to the bracket. Mount the bracket and sensors as shown in Figure 4. Sensors only mount on the left side of baler.
Installation of Bale Rate Harness – 600BBHD
On the moisture harness 006-7303HX (connected to star wheel) locate the wire
that says “FRONT” which indicates it should be connected to the front sensor.
Connect the wire that says “BACK” to the other sensor.
The tip of the sensor should be placed no more than 1/4” (7mm) away from the
star wheel teeth and no less than 1/8” (3mm) from the star wheel teeth. Each
sensor will have an LED light located on the sensor by the diverter. Once the
unit is powered up spin the wheel and make sure that both led lights turn on
and off. If they don’t turn on and off, adjustments may need to be made.
Once the connection is complete, run the harness along the left side baler
frame to the Dual Channel Processor (DCP). The Dual Channel Processor is
located next to the flywheel brake.
Installation of End of Bale Sensor – 600BB
The end of bale sensor determines the position of the needles on the baler. When the needles cycle the sensor communicates this information to the Dual Channel Processor. This information is used for job records and will be used by the optional Bale Identification system.
Mount the end of bale sensor bracket (001-4648) as shown (above) on the ladder
side of the baler (and same side as the main controller). Mark and drill two
3/8” (10mm) holes and attach the bracket using two 5/16” x 1” self-tapping
screws, and 5/16” flange nuts. Keep the sensor 1/4″ (7mm) from the needle and
tighten both nuts.
New BB Balers have been installing the End of Bale Sensor in the second
position and trimming off the excess steel. Run the sensor cable (006-7400)
and extension (006-7400BBEXT) up to the Dual Channel Processor
(DCP) down the ladder side of the baler and secure it properly out of the way
of any moving parts and hydraulics.
Installation of End of Bale Sensor – 600BBHD
There is not an end of baler sensor included with the 600BBHD system. The moisture unit will use the baler End of Bale sensor installed on the baler by retrieving the signal through the ISOBUS connection. Refer to the operation manual for setup details.
