MCK 3000 3.2 Sensor installation The MCK 3000 Area Control can be equipped with 3 types of sensors: • speed sensor (always present); • mechanical counting sensor (for NON self-levelling combine harvesters, tractors, etc.); • reflection seed sensor (for self-levelling combine harvesters). 3.2.1 Speed sensor installation You can install the speed sensor anywhere there is mechanical movement, on the wheel (front or rear) of the agricultural machine/vehicle or by creating a metal...
MCK 3000 MCK 3000 3.2.1.1 Automatic calibration of the “C” parameter Parameter “C” is automatically set by covering a fixed distance of 100 metres, according to the following procedure: ▪ With the Monitor on, press the key several times until the arrow on the display lights up as shown in the figure: ▪...
MCK 3000 3.2.2 Installing the mechanical counting sensor (if present) The mechanical counting sensor is used if the monitor is installed on a standard combine harvester. It can be secured to the lower part of the bar so that when this lowers, the spring is released and the hectare count begins (parameter “Ct”...
MCK 3000 MCK 3000 3.2.3 Installing the reflection seed sensor (if present) The seed sensor is used if the monitor is installed on a self-levelling combine harvester. Secure the seed sensor in a stable way on the right or left side of the pipe, using the bracket (supplied) with the lens facing the ground, and the optical axis perpendicular to the ground, at a distance of no more than 1.10 metre (see Figure 7).
MCK 3000 3.2.3.1 Adjusting the sensitivity of the seed sensor After installing the seed sensor, proceed as follows to adjust its sensitivity: Check that sensitivity SEED SENSOR adjustment trimmer (A) is turned to the extreme hourly position; Turn the monitor on. The RED LED must otherwise, enhance the orientation or move...
