Safety Information Safety Stop 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.
Installation Complete the installation portion of the header manual before continuing. Installation Overview To install a Headsight system, follow the steps below in order. 1. Install the Header components. • See the header model specific Installation Manual 2. Install the Combine components.
• For AGCO heads - Connect Y to header Connecting Sensors 1. Connect sensor wiring to main Headsight harness. • Sensor location as viewed from operator’s seat Left Left Center Center Right Center Right 2 Sensor 3 Sensor...
• Press the pin on the red wire of the Headsight power wire into pin D of the 5 pin plug until you hear a click • Insert the pin on the black wire into pin E of the 5 pin plug 4.
Feathersight Pressure Sensor Option Installation ® Feathersight is an optional module to improve the performance of grain ® systems. It uses both height sensors and the feeder house pressure sensor to allow seamless control from off ground to on ground harvesting. 1.
Setup & 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. See 09010001 Insight Users Manual for information about how to use the Insight box.
Calibrate Insight When you initialize Insight, you will be led directly to this calibration routine. If you wish to recalibrate at any time - select “>>Perform Calibration” on the Insight main menu. For the best header control always make sure the header f/a angle is set correctly.
Combine Calibration (21-25xx only) A full combine calibration must be completed if a component of the header control system is changed on the combine. See combine operators manual for details or Advanced Info>>Full Call section of this manual. 1. Start Combine (CYCLE KEY off/on if already running). 2.
Settings Insight Settings See the 09010001 Insight Users Manual/Setup for information on settings available in Insight. • 2 or 4 Sensor Tilt • Tilt Sensitivity • Tilt Balance • Foresight or Feathersight options Combine Settings Properly setting the combine is essential to having responsive header control. You should become very familiar with the steps in this section.
Controls: CIH 21-25xx 1. Header control mode selector switch. • M: Manual Mode – Operator controls header height - No Auto mode • RTC: Return to Cut Mode – Automatically returns to preset height based on feeder house position sensor •...
Controls: CIH 14-16xx 1. Height position knob. • Turning right increases (Turning left decreases) header height setting in automatic height control mode 2. Height sensitivity knob. • Turning right increases (Turning left decreases) header height sensitivity • Increase sensitivity to increase height control performance •...
1. Be sure you have the initial settings entered and have calibrated Insight. 2. Operate the Headsight system exactly like you would use your combine OEM height control system. 3. Fine tune all combine speed and sensitivity adjustments for best performance.
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) •...
Full Cal for 21-25xx Series Combines 1. Perform calibration over a ditch; feeder house MUST be fully lowered to stops during this procedure. 2. Start engine while holding both “Engine” and “Speed” buttons. • Screen will display “Hdr” 3. Release “Engine” and “Speed” buttons. •...
Common Combine Errors Calibration Error - 2xxx Series Combines If the combines corner post displays “Hdr-S1”, header light illuminates or header does not pause while raising in calibration mode perform the following calibration steps. Header does not pause during calibration or Header pauses before the sensors leave the ground.
Error code displays just after calibration pause Description: • Will not calibrate with bad feeder house potentiometer • Will function if already calibrated • Test by switching to RTC - Operate the machine and verify that you can dial the full range of the feeder house stroke with the height knob - this will verify feeder house position sensor Solution:...
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.
Typically 3 . 0 V- 3 . 8 V =3.02V • 3 . 0 V = Max. sensitivity (knob fully CW) • 3 . 8 V = Min. sensitivity (knob fully CCW) • If the value exceeds 4 . 0 V, call Headsight for instructions...
