Installation Before working on combine or under header always: 1. Perform all combine and header manufacturer safety precautions for servicing header. 2. Insert stop to prevent movement of header. 3. Turn off combine and remove key from ignition. 4. Set combine parking brake. 5.
Remote Display Wiring Remote controller 1. Connect Y731 to the remote controller • 4 pin Deutsch 2. Attach controller to side window of combine using provided suction-cup mount and for all CIH Common Cabs use provided mounting bracket as pictured below.
Calibration Initial Truesight Setup ® The first time that Truesight is powered up, it will ask a series of questions. Choose the appropriate choice or follow the instruction given. 1. The initial startup screen is: TRUESIGHT V1.00R • Press enter V1.00B 2.
Tilt Sensor Calibration The tilt calibration allows Truesight to verify the orientation of the tilt sensors mounted in the base controller. 1. To calibrate go to >>Calibration>>Tilt Sensor Cal>Tilt Sensor • Park in a generally level area • Press enter 2.
3. Turn wheels fully to right by using steering wheel. Wheel Sensor • Then press enter Calibration complete • Press enter once more to accept the wheel angle calibration 4. Press escape till returned to run screen Auto Deadzone Calibration The Auto Dead Zone calibration allows Truesight to automatically detect the minium voltage outputs that will cause the valve or motor to turn the wheels.
Auto Engage Sensor Calibration The Auto-Engage sensor calibration learns a feederhouse position at which to engage Truesight. When the header passes below the chosen height, Truesight will delay a short time and then begin steering. (see Auto-Engage Delay in the Settings section of this manual) 1.
Settings Properly setting the Truesight™ system is essential to having responsive row guidance control. You should become very familiar with the steps in this section. Access Settings 1. Push escape from run screen. Main>Setup 2. Turn scroll knob to Main>>Setup. •...
Auxiliary Engage The Auxiliary Engage setting allows the auxiliary (foot) switch type to be chosen. If you choose to use the Headsight provided footswitch – choose “Default”. If you do not wish to use any auxiliary switch – choose “Off”.
LCD Backlight (Default = 10) The LCD Backlight setting allows the operator to adjust the brightness on the remote display. 1. To change this setting go to >>Setup>>LCD Backlight in Setup>LCD Backlight menu. = 10 • Press check 2. Turn scroll knob to “desired value”. •...
Gain (Default = 6) The Gain setting controls the speed of steering response for a given error from the center of the row. A higher gain setting will result in a quicker response. Increasing the gain may improve responsiveness, but will have a tendency to make the system jerky or unstable.
Speed Select (Default = GPS) Speed Select is a Safety Feature of Truesight, disable at your own risk! The Speed Select setting properly configures Truesight to read the speed sensor. If the Speed Select is set to “OFF”, the minimum and maximum speed limits to engage Truesight will be disabled. If you wish to allow the min and max speed limits, choose the option that best matches your combine.
Right Deadzone (Default = Calibrated Value, 0 if not calibrated) The Right Deadzone setting allows manual adjustment of the valve/motor deadband. This value is set by the deadzone calibration. • A higher value will decrease the valve/motor deadband. • A lower value will increase the valve/motor deadband. 1.
Range2 (Default = 20) The Range2 setting allows additional compensation for curve aggressiveness after Range has been properly adjusted for straight rows. Range2 should be increased if the tip of the snout favors the outside of the row while going around a curve. Increasing Range2 will bring the tip of the snout back to the inside of the curve.
Operation Turn off Truesight Remote before entering roadway Four requirements must be met before the Truesight system will engage. 1. Seat switch safety must have contact • Operator must be sitting in seat to engage system 2. Speed must be within range •...
Overview Truesight Navigation ® How to Navigate There are four controls on the Truesight remote: 1. Steering Wheel Button • Tapping this button engages/disengages Truesight • Holding this button for more than 3 seconds enables/ disables the Auto-Engage feature 2. Red X (Escape Command) •...
• Verify that the write-protect switch on the SD card is disabled Installing Software 1. Remove the left-hand cover of the Truesight remote and retain the 4 attaching screws. 2. Insert the SD card into the slot on the remote with the Power already turned ON.
Advanced Information Theory of Operation Truesight systems use a single Hall Effect crop sensor assembly mounted on the head to sense the corn rows and return a voltage to the combine (1-4 volt output). If centered in the row, the crop sensor output voltage should be 2.5 volts;...
