2. Press YES key (Copies memory to card first, if card installed).

-or-

3. Shut monitor off to get “COPY MEMORY TO BACKUP?”.

4. Press YES key (Copies memory to card first, if card installed).

-or-

5. Press MEM key to get “COPY MEMORY TO CARD?”.

6. Press YES key (Copies memory to card only)

Area Count Light: OFF – Counting acres. ON – Not counting acres

Calibrating Moisture

STEP ACTION

1. Harvest a load of grain.

2. Use reference tester to measure moisture (average many samples).

3. Display load on which moisture was checked.

4. Press MOIST key to get “xx.x AVG%”.

5. Use UP or DOWN ARROW key to set actual moisture value.
You must calibrate for each grain type.
Adjusting one load affects all loads for that grain type.

Setting Swath

STEP ACTION

1. Display a load of desired grain type

2. Press ROW SPACE key.

3. Press Up or DOWN ARROW key to set row spacing.

4. Press # ROWS key.

5. Press RIGHT ARROW key to move cursor under xx ROW HEAD.

6. Press UP or DOWN ARROW key to set # head rows.

Setting Partial Swath (Point rows)

7. Press # ROWS or SWATH key.

8. Press DOWN ARROW key to reduce rows or swath CUT.

9. Press UP ARROW to set rows or swath CUT up after partial swath.
Swath is always # Rows x ROW SPACE. Use 6” or 12 “ spacing to set swath in

1/2 foot or 1 foot increments when cutting non-rowed crops.

Setting Stop Height

STEP ACTION

1. Change to Data Load (LxÆ) of desired grain type.

2. Press STOP HEIGHT key.

3. Position header at height to shut off acre counting.

4. Put the Area Count Switch in the up position.

If Area Count Light is off If the Area Count Light in on

5. Press DOWN ARROW key to

decrease stop height number until
light is on.

Press UP ARROW to increase
stop height number until light is
off. Decrease number until light
is on.

Changing/Starting Fields

STEP ACTION

1. Press FIELD key.

2. Press UP or DOWN ARROW key to change fields.

3. Press UP ARROW key, on last field to get:
3a. “START NEW FIELD?”. Press YES key to start.
3b. Press UP or DOWN ARROW to set grain type.
3c. Press YES key to finish.

Changing/starting Loads

STEP ACTION

1. Press LOAD key.

2. Press UP or DOWN ARROW key to change loads.

3. Press UP ARROW key, on last load to get:
3a. “START NEW LOAD?”. Press the YES key to start.

Changing a Display Load (Lx:_) to a Data Load (LxÆ)

STEP ACTION

1. Scroll to an existing display load, such as Lx: (with colon)

2. Press MEM key to get “CHANGE TO THIS LOAD?”.

3. Press YES key to get LxÆ

-or-

4. Create new load.

Naming Fields/Loads

STEP ACTION

1. Display field or load to be named.

2. Press RIGHT ARROW key to move cursor (underline) 1 space.

3. Press UP or DOWN ARROW key to set character.

4. Repeat steps 2-3. Name can be 8 characters long.

Definitions:
Data Load: Load that data is recording in. Arrow by number (LxÆ)
Display Load: Load for display only. Colon by number (Lx:)
Load: Use to subdivide a field into smaller units. Can be smaller or

larger than a combine tank, wagon or truckload.

Calibrating Grain Weight (lbs)

STEP ACTION

Change to data Load with 0 lbs. (LxÆ)
With grain tank empty, harvest 3,000 or more lbs into load.
Completely empty grain tank into wagon or truck.
Change to new Data Load with 0 lbs. (Lx Æ)
Weight grain in wagon or truck.
Repeat steps 1-5. Weigh at least 5-6 loads. Vary grain flow (vary

speed or # rows) for each load. IMPORTANT!!
Display load for whic h grain was weighed.
Press WEIGHT key to get “0 ACT LB”.
Press UP and DOWN ARROW key to set actual weight.
Repeat steps 7-9 to enter all actual weight.
Press GRAIN key to get “CAL LBS NOW?”
Press YES ke y to get “x. x% MAX, x. x% AVG ERR”
If MAXX ERR over 15%
Press any key; write down each calibration field/load and % error.
Zero actual weight on loads with errors over 15 % by:
Display load with high error.
Press WEIGHT key to get “xxxx ACT LB”.
Press DOWN ARROW key to zero actual weight.
Start over on step 11.
If MAX ERR under 15 %
Press YES key to “CONTINUE WITH LBS CAL?” (Must have 4 or

more actual weights.)
Average error should be under 3%; Max error should be under 5%.
If MAX ERR over 5%, remove actual weights for load with highest

error. Repeat steps 11-17.

You can calibrate after entering each actual weight.
You must calibrate for every grain type.
Check monitor during harvest season, add more act. Weights if weight is off.
If using weigh wagon, make sure it is calibrated accurately.
You can bypass scrolling through % errors by pressing NO key.
