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. Set combine parking brake. 4. Turn off combine and remove key from ignition. 5.
Header Adapter Harness Mounting 1. Install Insight box at rear of header within reach of feederhouse electrical connection on combine and mark mounting hole locations. 2. Secure box to header. • Drill mounting holes using ¼” drill bit • Use provided tie straps or ¼” bolts •...
Insight Box Power Wire ® MF 95xx & CH 5xx Models 1. No power wire is needed. 2. Connect Y520 to Y521 on main Insight harness on header. MF 9x95, CH 6x0B, GL Rx6-S88 Models 1. Use PFI-AGS7-P & HT9313 or HT9312 2.
Draper Speed Kit, 600FD Only 1. Install the Draper Speed kit assembly as per instructions 09040117 included with kit. The instructions vary by combine, but the installation is similar in all cases. • Install all Cab and feeder components as per instructions 09040117 •...
Hydraflex Cab Controller System - '98-'06 Combines Only Combines equipped to operate a AGCO Dynaflex (925x) type head should not need this kit installed. If your combine (S series Gleaner) does not display flex pressure, please install the appropriate AGCO gauge kit as per a 9250 header. Cab Controller 1.
Calibration Setup Insight ® These steps must be performed the first time the Insight box is powered up and each time it is reset. They do not need to be redone each time the Insight box is calibrated. Read the Insight Overview section for basic information about how to use the Insight box. 1.
Combine Calibration A full combine calibration must be completed on new installations or if a component of the header control system is changed on the combine. See combine operators manual for details. AGCO MY2009-Up, Except Rxx and Sxx Header Setup 1.
AGCO MY2003-2008 All, and Rxx & Sxx 1. With Insight calibrated, park on level ground. ® 2. Disengage header control and header clutch. 3. Increase engine speed to above 2200rpm. 4. Press and hold button until the following LEDs flash. •...
AGCO 'F6' MY1998-2002 1. With Insight calibrated, park on level ground. ® 2. Disengage header control and header clutch. 3. Raise header to maximum position. 4. Press and hold hidden button under the C of ControL until the LED starts flashing. 5.
All - Hydraulic Accumulator Headsight recommends replacing the ¼ turn OEM valve with a multiple ® turn valve for improved tuning capability. Contact Headsight. 1. Find the accumulator • It is located either on the front axle or on right side of combine near the hydraulic valve stack.
AGCO MY2009 - Up, Except Rxx and Sxx Header Drop/Raise Rates 1. Press 2. Adjust Max Up PWM for 5-6 seconds from full down to full up. 3. Adjust Max Down PWM for 8-10 seconds from full up to full down. 4.
Headsight recommends updating the OEM Raise & Lower valves with PWM ® valves and controls for better operation with ALL heads. Contact Headsight and ask about our AGCO Flow Rate kits. May not apply to some models. Drop Rate 1. Use the adjustment bolt on lower valve of hydraulic valve stack on right-hand side of combine.

Tilt Gain Adjustment (MY1998-2002 Only) This procedure is rarely needed, but is described here for reference. These instructions only apply to MY1998-2002 machines. Set tilt gain as high as possible without causing tilt ‘hunting’. 2. Press and hold both hidden “C” and “L” of ControL for 3 seconds.
Insight Settings ® Tilt Sensitivity If the head is too jumpy from side to side – decrease sensitivity. If you would like the head to be more responsive – increase sensitivity. To change this setting go to >>Settings>>Tilt Sensitivity in the Insight™ box. The range is from 5 to 95 with a default setting of 50. Tilt Balance If the head is consistently running higher on one end than the other, Tilt Balance manually tweaks the combine height inputs to level it out.
Operation After calibrating Insight and combine, operate the Headsight system exactly like you would use an AGCO system. Enabling Height Control AGCO 2009 - Up, Except Rxx and Sxx 1. Turn on separator and header clutches. 2. Using the Select Switch, select auto header height mode.
AGCO 1998 - 2008, Rxx and Sxx 1. Turn on separator and header clutches. 2. Enable auto header height and auto header tilt modes. • And (MY 2003 - 2008 ) 3. Enable auto header height and auto header tilt modes. •...

To reset all settings hold Updating Insight Software with USB Drive ® Updating software may cause the Foresight option to be disabled. If you have purchased Foresight, contact Headsight before updating software. 1. You will need: • USB drive •...
Advanced Information Theory of Operation A review of the following points will help the service technician to understand the complete system, which will help diagnose specific problems. 1. Each sensor returns a variable voltage depending on header height. • High header height = high voltage (approximately 4 volts) •...
Reading Voltages Before you Start The Insight box can display both the input voltages it receives from each sensor and the output voltages it is sending to the combine. Sensor voltage = Insight box output voltage = Insight box input voltage Combine sensor input Insight box scales voltages received to what combine...
On the Insight Box : Output Voltages ® 1. From main menu, go to >> Diagnostics>>Detailed Pressure/aux Sensor Diagnostics>> (parameter of Interest). Left Height Output • Center Height Out Shows actual voltage being sent to the combine. • Right Height Output Available selections depend on combine model 2.
Combine Diagnostics AGCO MY2009 - Up 1. Press Misc then 2. Select VMM 4 or VMM 3 depending on your machine. • The header height left and right pots should read 4 . 0 V head up, and about 1 . 5 V head down—never below 0 .
Diagnostics 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. Set combine parking brake. 4. Turn off combine and remove key from ignition. 5.
All of the above are correct Harness & combine connections pass test. If you have a Headsight Sensor tester, Verify sensor is connected to extension If sensor cannot be adjusted to achieve use it to test the sensor. For all other:...
Troubleshooting by Symptom Nearly every problem with the header control system may be resolved by one of the following simple steps: • Make sure each sensor meets basic requirements discussed in Advanced Info section • Properly calibrate Insight box • Properly calibrate combine AHHC (“Header Cal”) •...
