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.
Mounting Sensors All Rows The Headsight sensor will not fit on the outer two snouts. Install the outer sensors on the second row from each end. 1. Mount sensor on desired rows as shown. • Use supplied M 10 allen head bolt in rear...
Sensor Wiring Properly routing the wiring is the most critical part of the installation process. Please take time to ensure that you have allowed sufficient slack for motion as well as sufficient clearance from moving header parts or crop flow. Harness Length Table 1.
Routing Wiring 1. Lay out wiring to appropriate snout. • Wiring will run from the sensor to the rear of the header near the combine’s feederhouse connection Note: If you are using premade PFBxx cables instead of PFG, you will need to route the wiring in reverse from the following instructions.

13. Repeat steps above for each sensor. 14. Install the Insight or Horizon Controller if required (see below) and adapter harness (see Headsight combine specific or Horizon manual). 15. Determine wire length and terminate PFG cables as shown below.
Terminating PFG Wiring Poor termination will result in field failures. Tight, properly crimped terminals will provide long service with no problems. Using a quality crimp tool will greatly reduce service problems. 1. See Install Controller below for position of main harness. 2.
4. Connect Headsight Brown (Stubble) to stubble light lamp wire (if equipped). See the Headsight combine manual for more details about how to install the remaining wiring harness or control box and then connect each individual sensor.
Sensor Adjustment Insert header stop to prevent movement. Changing Swing 1. Loosen the bolt A holding downstop. 2. Slide the downstop to new position in slotted hole. • Raising downstop will increase voltage swing and allow higher maximum cutting height •...
Sensor Extensions Headsight recommends using the lowest setting that allows you to run as high as you desire. Increasing the length of the extension will reduce header control sensitivity. 1. Remove flange lock nut then remove arm and spring. 2. Install extension to sensor assembly with previously removed spring and flange locknut.
