Automatic header functions are configured on HEADER SETTINGS page.
NOTE:
Changes may have been made to combine controls or display since this document was published. Refer to
combine operator's manual for updates.
1. Automatic Control Functions: There are toggle
(OFF/ON) switches on HEADER SETTINGS page for
automatic control functions. For MacDon headers,
ensure following two functions are enabled as shown:
•
RTC (return to cut) (A)
•
AHHC (automatic header height control) (B)
All other switches are disabled (and are not
highlighted).
2. The Sensitivity setting (C) controls how responsive a
control (RTC or AHHC) is to a given change in sensor
feedback. The setting fields are located directly below
toggle switches. To enter a new sensitivity setting, touch
setting field below specific toggle switch, and enter new
value using on-screen keyboard.
•
If combine does not change feeder position quickly
enough when in Auto Mode, increase sensitivity.
•
If combine hunts for a position in Auto Mode,
decrease sensitivity.
NOTE:
Recommended sensitivity starting points for MacDon
headers are:
•
50 for RTC (A)
