Press the FIELD button to select which field you will be logging to, the
operating configuration being used, and the crop being harvested.

(located on the lower right hand side of the display.)
Select the appropriate Field, Operating Configuration, and Crop
2a
from the lists. If your item is not listed, refer to the appropriate
section in this guide to set it up. Press the ACCEPT button
when finished.
A window to select the Region will appear. The region name
2b
may be edited by selecting the EDIT NAME button or you may
use the default. If the Insight monitor was used to log varieties
during planting, you can select Variety Tracking. If this load
is a calibration load, select Flag as Calibration Load. Press the
ACCEPT button when finished.
Note: When Variety Tracking is enabled you will be prompted
to change regions when the combine enters a new variety.
Note: Before harvesting grain, the following calibrations must be completed
to ensure accuracy: Speed Sensor, Header Height, Vibration, and
Temperature. Once these calibrations are complete, grain must be
harvested to complete Moisture and Weight calibrations
CALIBRATION
Before performing calibrations, a configuration must be accepted in the RUN
screen. To accept a configuration refer to the Operation section of this guide.
Press the HARVEST button to enter the harvest configuration screen.
Step
Press the SETUP button, located on the right hand side of the display.
Speed Sensor Calibration
Things to remember during speed sensor calibration:
1
• Before beginning the speed sensor calibration, a measured
distance must be marked to drive. The recommended measured
distance is 200 feet.
• For most accurate results this calibration should be performed in
field conditions. (Not on paved or gravel roads)

NEXT.
If the known distance is other than 100 feet, press the EDIT
1c
DISTANCE button and enter the known distance, followed by
the ACCEPT button. Press NEXT.
When the vehicle is at the starting point, press RESET to make
1d
sure the display reads zero. Press START. Drive to the end
marker and press STOP.
Press NEXT and your calibration number will be calculated.
1e
Press FINISH.
Note: It is recommended to run the distance calibration twice to
confirm an accurate calibration.
Header Height Calibration
Note: The header trip point must be set for each grain type.
Press the HEADER tab and highlight the header to calibrate.
2a
Then press CALIBRATE HEADER SENSOR.
The header sensor calibration wizard will appear with
2b
instructions. Select the NEXT button to continue.
Raise header to full height and press SET MAX.
2c
Lower the header to minimum height and press SET MIN.
2d
Select the NEXT button to continue.
Select crop type to be harvested with this header using the drop
2e
down box.
Raise header to trip height and press SET HEIGHT.
2f
Note: Trip Point is the height of the head when the area turns
on or off. This setting should be between harvesting height and
raised height.
Repeat Step 2E for each header and crop type. Press FINISH
2g
when complete.
Vibration Calibration
Note: Vibration cal must be performed with the correct head on the
combine, and repeated for each crop harvested.
Under the CALIBRATION tab select the crop type you would
3a
like to calibrate vibration for, then press the VIBRATION
button.
With the combine separator running at full operating speed with
3b
the header engaged, press the START button.
Run the separator at full speed while the monitor counts down

Temperature Calibration
Note: Temperature calibration should be performed when the sensor has
not been in direct sunlight or sitting next to grain. The reading should
be an accurate reading of the surrounding air temperate.
Under the CALIBRATION tab select the TEMPERATURE
4a
button.
Use the arrow keys to change the temperature to the known
4b
outside air temperature.
The Offset will change to reflect the temperature calibration.
4c
When complete press EXIT.
Moisture Calibration
Things to remember during moisture calibration:
• Temperature calibration should be completed before this calibration.
• Moisture calibration must be completed before weight calibration.
• You only need to calibrate moisture once per grain.
• Calibrating moisture on one load affects all loads for that grain type.
• You must calibrate for each grain type.
Harvest one load of grain. Randomly sample grain from several
5a
locations in the grain tank to collect an average moisture for this
load, then measure the actual moisture using an accurate
moisture tester.
Under Harvest Setup, choose the CALIBRATION tab and
5b
select the MOISTURE button.
Select the Field and Region that a moisture sample was taken
5c
from. Use the arrow keys to adjust the recorded moisture so
that it matches the known moisture of the sample that was taken.
The Offset will change to reflect the moisture calibration.
5d
When complete press ACCEPT.
Step
6
Weight Calibration
Things to remember during weight calibration:
• Temperature and moisture should be calibrated before weight
• Calibration loads should be uniform in size, preferably around
3000 lbs.
• Weight calibration can be completed at any time during the season
• Use a consistent grain flow for each load (region).
• Harvest each load at a different flow rate. Grain flow can be altered
by changing ground speed for each load (recommended) or using
different swath widths for each load.
For Example: R1: 2 mph, R2: 3 mph, R3: 4 mph, R4: 5 mph.
• For the most accurate results use four to eight calibration loads.
• To eliminate confusion identifying calibration loads, use appropriate
region names (ex: R1: 2 mph cal).
Under the Region selection on the RUN screen, create a new
6a
region and put a check mark next to FLAG AS
CALIBRATION LOAD.
Beginning with an empty grain tank, harvest a load of at least
6b
3,000 pounds.
Empty grain tank completely onto truck or wagon and weigh
6c
with an accurate scale. Record each individual load weight to be
entered in the monitor.
Repeat steps 6a-6c for a minimum of four calibration loads.
Under Harvest Setup, choose the CALIBRATION tab and
6d
select the Crop Type to be calibrated. Each load that has been
flagged as a calibration load for that crop type will show up on
the screen.
Select one of the loads and press the ENTER WEIGHT button.
6e
Enter the Actual Weight and press ACCEPT. Repeat this step
for each calibration load.
After actual weights have been entered check the loads to be
6f
used and press the PERFORM CALIBRATION button.
When linear calibration is complete press YES to perform
6g
calibration.
Note: You will only be able to perform a linear calibration with
less than four loads. (For best accuracy full calibration is
uired
re
When calibration is complete, examine error and press OK.
6h
If average error is over 3%, uncheck the load with the maximum
6i
error and re-perform calibration. You must still have four loads
checked to
erform a full calibration.
