Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Harvest Tec Model 600CL Moisture Monitor System. This 600CL 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 600CL 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

A parts break down for the 600CL Moisture Monitoring System is included in the back of this manual. If you do have questions please contact your local dealership. They can also assist you in ordering the correct replacement parts.

Right and Left sides are determined by facing in the direction of forward travel.

Made for iPad® (3 rd through Pro 2nd generation), running the current iOS operating system or one version previous required for iPad option
iPad is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

**600 Series Applicators with serial number 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 2.5.18 (or higher) to operate with the iPad Integration Module

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

Tools Needed:

– Standard wrench set      – Standard nut driver set
– Electric drill and bits     – Standard socket set
– Side cutter                     – Hammer
– Crescent wrench           – Metal cutting tools
– Standard screwdriver    – Hose cutter
– Center punch

Installation of Dual Channel Processor (DCP)

Follow the instructions below to mount the Dual Channel Processor (DCP) onto your specific baler model and type. The locations shown are the right twine box (looking at the back of the baler).

Mark and drill the four 3/8″ (10mm) holes and install DCP with two 5/16″ x 1″ bolts, two 5/16″ x 1-1/4″ bolts, locks, fender washers and hex nuts. If your baler is not listed below mount the DCP on the back of the twine box on the right side. Mount the DCP cover over the top of the tip and secure with the hardware using the 5/16″ x 1-1/4″ bolts on top with the DCP shield.

Installation of Star Wheel Moisture Sensors

Use the template located in the back of this manual as a guide for cutting a notch and locating the mounting holes for the star wheels. Carefully mark the location of the star wheel holes using the template and a center punch so the star wheels will run true to the direction of the bales, otherwise, the star wheels may work themselves out of the block, damaging the sensor itself or the bale rate sensors.

The star wheels must be mounted so that they are no closer than 3/8″ (10mm) from any metal parts of the baler and come in contact only with the bale. Four 5/16″ x 3″ Allen headed bolts will be used to mount the star wheel block and twine guard to the baler. The bolts must be inserted from the inside of the baler chamber. Use nuts and lock washers to hold the bolts in place before putting on the star wheel block, the block is counter-bored on one side so the block will fit over the nuts.

The star wheel block has a plug on one side and a wire grommet on the other side. If there are interference 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 other side.

Mount the twine guards using the two inner holes on the star wheel block. The twine guard containing the bale rate sensors should be placed on the baler’s right side, when looking from the back of the baler.

Claas 2100 and 2200 balers

Star Wheel Mounting – Use the template located in the back of the manual as a guide for cutting the notch and mounting holes for the star wheels. The star wheels are to be mounted on top of the baler, just behind the knotters and as far forward as possible. Remove the bale from the chute. Locate the wheels on the top outside corner angles of the bale chute, one on each side. Mark the location of the notch 5/8″ (16mm) wide and 9″ (23cm) long and the location of the four 5/16″ (8mm) holes for the star wheel base. After cutting the notch and drilling the hole, insert the 5/16″ x 3″ black Allen head bolts up through the chute and use nuts to hold the bolts in place. Place the star wheel block over the nuts and install the twine guards using the two inner holes of the star wheel block. The twine guard containing the bale rate sensors will be placed on the right side.

Star Wheel Mounting – ­ Use the picture below as a guide for drilling the mounting holes for the star wheels. The star wheels are to be mounted on the side of the bale chamber, between the top and middle channel. Measure 10″ back from the hinge between the top and middle channel. Cut 1″ x 9″ (25mm x 23cm) slot for the star wheel. Make sure the wheel is square. Mark the location of the two 5/16″ (8mm) holes for the star wheel base. After drilling the holes, insert the 5/16″ x 3 1/4″ allen head bolts through the chute and use nuts to hold the bolts in place. Place the star wheel block over the nuts and install the prox sensor holder (001-4644H) on the star wheel located on the right side of the baler. Note: Thicker side of block goes to baler side.

Installation of End of Bale Sensor

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 (DCP). This information is used for job records and will be used by the optional Bale Identification System. Follow the steps below for your baler to mount the sensor.

Claas Balers

End of bale sensor bracket (001-4648) will be used. Cutoff excess metal not used during installation.

Mount the end of bale sensor bracket (001-4648) as shown. 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. Mount the sensor in the 8″ (20cm) hole location, keep the sensor 1/4″ (7mm) from the needle and tighten both nuts. Cut off excess metal past the
sensor. Run the sensor cable up to the Dual Channel Processor (DCP) and secure to the baler.

Claas 3200-3400

The end of bale (EOB) sensor mounts in the EOB bracket (001-4648C) as shown in the picture. The EOB bracket is mounted to the top side of the needle arm stop using the existing hardware that secures the bumper to the stop.

Installation of Bale Rate Harness

First, remove the cover from the star wheel block and use a 1/4″ nut driver to remove the nut from the electronic swivel. Next, run the star wheel sensor wire through the black grommet and place the eye terminal on the star wheel sensor. Tighten the eye loop with the nut on the sensor and put the star wheel cover back on the base. Next, tighten the grommet to form a tight seal around the wire.

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 should say “FRONT”, which indicates it should be placed in the front sensor hole. The sensor wire with the shorter wire should 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 baler frame to the Dual Channel Processor (DCP). (See wiring installation on the following page). The Dual Channel Processor is located on the back of the right twine box.

Installation of the Main Power and Communication Harness

Connection at the right rear of the baler.
Route cords 006-6650LS2 along this path or similar inside of the baler. Keep cords away from moving parts and hydraulic hoses. Secure with existing cable clamps or use cable ties. When all connections are made to the DCP secure wires as shown below to allow for water to be shed away from the DCP.

Connecting the optional ISOBUS plug to the tractor

Attach the optional ISOBUS connector (006-6670A) to the end of the communication harness (006-6650TM).

Connect the orange wires and attach the plug to the tractor’s ISOBUS port.

Then connect the ISOBUS connector to the ISOBUS plug on the tractor.

Installation of iPad Integration Control
