    Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor Fitting the walker pads Mount the two walker pads at the rear of the two outside straw walkers. NOTE: Account for any reinforcements and walker extensions when positioning the walker pads. 1. Stick the supplied adhesive templates on the underside of the walkers with the arrow pointing to the rear of the walkers.

  • Page 11: Shortening The Sensor

    Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor On some combine harvesters, it may not be possible to fit the sensor in the recommended position due to placement of other parts, such as an adjustment handle. In these cases, the sensor can be mounted higher or lower than 50 mm under the sieves. In any case, the centre of the sensor must not be higher than the edge of the sieve, or lower than 100 mm under the sieve.

  • Page 15: Setting Up The Capacity Monitor

    Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor Setting up the capacity monitor Not even the best capacity indicator can prevent grain from being lost. The purpose of the monitor is to inform the operator of the approximate amount of grain being lost. It is also important to understand that the loss readings from the monitor are not absolute measurements, but are instead meant to indicate how the loss is perceived when harvesting variables change.
  • Page 16: Display Indications

    Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor Display indications A correctly adjusted monitor will indicate with the LEDs both the relative grain loss and when the combine harvester capacity is being fully utilized. Figure 20 describes the conditions that different readings indicate. Figure 20: LED loss and capacity indications •...
  • Page 17: Storage Of Values

    Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor Storage of values When + or - is pressed, the gain for both graphs are saved to the monitor. When the monitor is turned off, these gain values are preserved. When the monitor is restarted, it begins working at the gain settings applied before power off.
