Instruction Manual 1.0 Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Farmscan canlink 3500 is a versatile programmable precision farming tool, designed specifically for agricultural use to provide a reliable and user friendly control interface. During harvesting the canlink 3500 Grain Yield Monitor provides instant access to all of the following: yield/harvesting rate, weight harvested (total and trip), grain moisture (optional), area covered (total and trip), speed, distance, time, GPS and guidance information. The canlink 3500 Grain Yield Monitor is a monitoring system with the parallel swath guidance option. There are two selectable modes of operation: yield monitoring with guidance and yield monitoring only. The canlink 3500 Grain Yield Monitor has in built moisture calibrations for up to 15 grain types. The canlink 3500’s data logging function, allows detailed records to be taken during harvesting and stored on a MMC (MultiMedia) data card. Data from the card can be transferred to a personal computer to generate yield maps (using Farmscan Data Manager). Yield maps provide vital information needed to improve crop yields. Yield maps can also be later used to generate application maps. Which after being saved onto a data card and uploaded into the canlink (running Spray or VRC operating firmware), the canlink will apply the rates to areas as assigned in the application map. The canlink 3500 YIELD MONITOR delivers the use of automatic hold functions, 100 trips, 12 tags for labelling logged data and the ability to customise trip and tag labels. Tag names, trip names and monitor calibration settings can be saved onto a MMC card and reloaded for later use. Succinct alarm messages direct the operator to the issues affecting the monitor’s operation. The canlink 3500 platform upon which the yield monitor operates has been designed to grow as new applications are integrated. The versatility of the canlink 3500 allows it to be reprogrammed in the field using a MMC card. Already in place, the 3500 has several yield functions, variable rate for up to four products and simple mapping functions.

A yield sensor, a roll sensor, a continuous grain moisture sensor (optional), a comb height switch (optional), and a GPS. This section describes procedures to install these sensors. 3.1 YIELD SENSOR INSTALLATION The yield sensor is installed on the clean grain elevator and consists of two parts: an emitter (A3055E) which is the shorter of the two and a detector (A-3055D). Both parts of the yield sensor screw into a magnetic fitting (A-3055M) which fixes them to the elevator. Follow the guide given below to install the yield sensor. The best place to mount the yield sensor is near the very top (1' from top sprocket) of the clean grain elevator on the up side just before the paddles turn over and change to the down side. Two holes have to be drilled into the elevator chute, one on either side. The magnetic fittings then fit into the drilled holes, with the lens going into the hole ‘looking’ into the elevator. The detector and emitter parts are then screwed into the fittings. Two dimensions P and H must be taken into account when measuring to drill the holes. H is the distance from the holes to the centre of the cog (top of elevator). Looking at the width of the paddle, P is the distance from the edge of the paddle to the point on the paddle where the bracket meets the paddle. The critical dimension is P. Holes must be drilled at GAP + ½ P and H. See the diagrams below. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : INSTALLATION Page 8 The dimension GAP + ½ P must give the edge of the sensor at least 10mm of clearance from the paddle bracket. This is so that the slack in the chain does not cause the paddle’s brackets to block the sensor as the paddles move upwards. See the table on the next page for your model of harvester. Find the "H" and “GAP + ½ P” positions for your model of harvester in the tables below . Be sure to check that the "H" and “GAP + ½ P” positions are correct before drilling.

If you could not find your model of harvester in the tables then follow the information given on page 5 to determine the "GAP + 1/2 P" and H positions. The "GAP + 1/2 P" position must be such that even when the paddles move, the sensors will only 'see' the paddle not the paddle brackets. The H position should be as high up on the elevator as possible approximately 300mm or 1' below the sprocket in the elevator that turns the paddles over from the up side to the down side. See below. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : INSTALLATION Page 10 Before proceeding check that the "H" and "GAP + ½ P" dimensions are correct for your harvester as per the points mentioned on page 5. Measure and mark the distance GAP + ½ P and H on one side of the elevator chute. Remember holes must be drilled on the up side of the chute. See below for clarification. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : INSTALLATION Page 11 Once you are sure the hole mark (or pilot hole) is correct and there is no paddle in the way, cut through one side of the elevator chute using the supplied 25mm hole saw and arbor. Fit the drill bit extension onto the drill. Then slide the hole saw support over the drill bit extension. Then fit the 25mm hole saw and arbor onto the drill bit extension. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : INSTALLATION Page 12 Push the hole saw and the drill bit extension through the hole until the hole saw hits the other side of the chute. Then slide the magnetic hole saw support into the hole until the support sticks to the chute. With the drill bit extension and hole saw being supported by the hole saw support, the hole to be cut on the other side of the chute will be in-line with the first hole drilled. See below. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : INSTALLATION Page 13 The result should be two holes one on either side of the chute directly opposite each other as in the diagram on the previous page. Fit the magnetic fittings into the holes in the elevator. The magnets are strong enough to hold the aluminium fitting and the sensor to the chute. Sensors are mounted with the cable exiting to the outside of the elevator chute. Screw the sensors all the way into the magnetic fittings. It does not matter which side of the chute has the emitter or receiver mounted on it. IMPORTANT! - KEEP CHAIN TIGHT! The elevator chain must be kept tight at all times while the yield sensor is fixed to the elevator. This is to prevent the paddles (also loose grain) from hitting the lens inside the sensor's magnetic mount. WORN PADDLES! The yield monitor will give best results with uniform paddles. That is no missing paddles and no worn or bent paddles. Replace all worn, bent and missing paddles. Make sure paddles are all clean. That there is no material stuck to the paddles as this will influence yield values. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : INSTALLATION Page 14 JUNCTION BOX INSTALLATION The junction box provides a connection for sensors (yield, moist and height) and power to the canlink. Power for the GPS is also taken out of the junction box. There are labels on the box indicating how it should be mounted. Mount the junction box in the cab on the floor underneath or behind the seat. Making sure that the short side of the box is parallel with the length of the header and the long side of the box runs parallel with the front of the header. The forward arrow on the junction box must point straight towards the front of the harvester. The junction box must be securely attached or mounted to the floor and must be flush with the floor. Use velcro to mount the junction box if nothing else. 3.2 MOISTURE SENSOR INSTALLATION (Optional) The moisture sensor is installed on the bubble up auger where it continuously samples the moisture content of processed grain. Before mounting the sensor, first fit the sensor with the bracket provided. Follow the steps below. ?? Slide bracket into the 11 mm mounting guides on either side of sensor casing. Stop sliding when the bottom curve of the bracket meets the top of the sensor. The small 5mm tongues should still stick out past the top of the aluminium sensor. IMPORTANT ! Forcing the bracket onto the sensor will deform the sensor’s aluminium case thus obstructing the movement of the interior piston. * Fasten all 8 M6 lock nuts onto all of the M6 threaded studs on the legs of the bracket. This secures the bracket to the sensor. NOTE! When the grain tank fills completely submerging the sensor, grain can enter the sensor's sampling cavity through the gaps between the top of the sensor and the bracket. Causing grain to become compacted inside the sensor. To stop this, silicon or even a cloth can be used to seal the gaps between the top of the sensor and the black mounting bracket. To fit the moisture sensor to the bubble up auger follow the steps below. 1. Using the supplied 79 mm diameter hole saw, cut a circular hole in the underside of the bubble up auger. The hole must be cut on the top section of the auger as shown in the diagram on the next page. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : INSTALLATION Page 15 Bubble Up Auger Drill 79 mm hole here. NOTE: Drilling the hole further down the auger may damage the sensor, as the compaction of grain further down the auger impedes sampled grain from being pushed out. 2. After drilling the hole, file out using the file supplied, two rectangular sections for the two tongues on the sensor bracket to fit into. Filed out sections must be on the top (part of the hole closest to the top of the bubble-up auger) and bottom (part of the hole closest to the bottom of the bubble-up auger) of the hole. See diagram below. 3. Check your filing by fitting the sensor into the hole. A tight fit is best, as this will stop the sensor from sliding down the auger. 4. Use notches in sensor’s bracket (see diagram next page) to run the large hose clamps (AH-427) provided in the moisture sensor kit over the bracket and around the bubble up auger barrel.

Fasten hose clamps as tightly as possible. 5. If the top end of the bubble up auger can be swivelled about leave slack in the extension cable. 3.3 COMB SENSOR INSTALLATION (Optional) The comb height sensor (AA-3053) is installed on the harvester’s comb. The sensor puts the system off hold when the comb is lowered beyond a point (hold point) set by the user. The hold point is set in the “COMB HOLD” setting in the “OPTIONS” menu. MOUNTING The sensor must be mounted vertical at 90° (see below) when the comb is lowered for harvesting (off hold- harvesting). When the comb is raised (on hold) the angle of the sensor must move closer to being horizontal. The sensor must be mounted on the left side (as seen from driver's seat) of the harvester. Mount the sensor to the broad elevator as far forward as possible. Use the dual-lock (similar to velcro) supplied in the kit. Refer to page 43 for hold point.

Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 37 Page 5.1 CALIBRATION When the “CALIBRATION” menu item is selected, the screen shown below is displayed. This screen is used to calibrate overall yield values and to set the speed hold and load alarm functions. The following sections describe the functions of the four items in the above screen. CALIBRATION : This factor is used to calibrate the dry load value on the main screen (second row in main screen under wet load). The dry load value is the dried weight of the load. The default value is 400. This factor should only be set once the harvested grain has been dried and weighed. This calibration factor must be set for each grain type being harvested. The grain type for which the calibration factor is active, is displayed next to the word “CALIBRATION”. Follow the procedure below to calculate the calibration factor for each grain type. CALIBRATION FACTOR PROCEDURE 1. Reset “LOAD” readings in the main screen to zero. 2. Continue to harvest at least until you have a truck load that can be dried and weighed. 3. Compare the load reading on the canlink with the weight of the dried grain. 4. Divide the actual dried load value by the dry load value on the main screen. Then multiply the old calibration factor by the result. See the example below. 5. Enter the new calibration factor into the monitor. EXAMPLE Actual Dry grain value: Canlink dry load value: Current calibration factor: Actual ? canlink value: New calibration factor: 1.79 tonnes 2.13 tonnes 400 1.79 ? 2.13 = 0.84 0.84 ? 400 = 336 NOTE: If you are harvesting with a moisture sensor the dry load will vary from the wet load. If you don't have a moisture sensor the two load values will be the same. In this case use the wet load to Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 38 Page determine the calibration factor and the calibration factor will work to match the harvested moist load with the actual weight of the moist load weighed at a weigh-bridge for example. ZERO : Used to enter the zero value in the monitor. The zero value is taken from the yield sensor when the paddles are empty and the elevator is running at full throttle. The zero procedure should be always be followed before harvesting. PROCEDURE TO SET THE “ZERO” 1. Enter the options screen (select "OPTIONS" from calibration menu) and make sure "FILTER" is "DISABLED". 2. Run the clean grain elevator empty for 20 seconds at full throttle and observe the live zero reading (to the right of the word “ZERO”). 3. Press the softkey under the “ZERO” icon at the bottom of the screen and the zero point will be updated with the same number as the live reading. 4. Follow again before next harvesting run. IMPORTANT! It is important that step 1 in the above zeroing procedure is followed. As this will avoid such problems as reduced yield values and paddle counts. SPEED HOLD: Enter a speed and if the harvester’s speed falls below the “HOLD SPEED” the monitor will be put on hold. LOAD ALARM : The load alarm function allows the operator to enter a load alarm for the wet load into the monitor and when this figure is reached the monitor will issue an audible alarm and the message “LOAD FULL” will be displayed in the messages section of the main screen. A safe load for transport trucks can be used as the load alarm, so that the operator will be notified when the current load is greater than the transport truck's safe load capacity. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 39 Page 5.2 MACHINE Selecting “MACHINE” from the Calibration menu will display the following screen: This screen is used to enter the implement width and enable/disable the moisture sensor. WIDTH FACTOR: The width of the header is the effective width of the comb. This value is required in order to calculate area. The effective width must be entered as the width factor. NOTE The monitor will use the RMC string from the GPS as a speed input. MOISTURE SENSOR The monitor uses the moisture sensor to display on the main screen the moisture content by mass of the harvested grain. Moisture values once they are greater than 12% are used to calculate the dry load. Enable the moisture sensor to display moisture values in the main screen. For Example a moisture reading of 11% means that 11% of the total mass of the grain sampled by the sensor is moisture. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 40 Page 5.3 DISPLAY The canlink 3500 provides the operator with control over display contrast and backlight brightness. Selecting “DISPLAY” on the calibration menu screen will bring up the display screen as shown below. CONTRAST: The contrast control will lighten or darken the pixels that make up the screen (Liquid Crystal Display). Increasing or decreasing the “contrast setting” which is a two-digit number changes the contrast. To change the display contrast, select the contrast setting using the softkey adjacent to the contrast section. A cursor then highlights the contrast setting number. Increasing the number makes the display darker and decreasing the number makes the display lighter. NOTES : ?? The LCD contrast may change while the unit is operating. As the ambient temperature rises the display may darken. This will require that the contrast be adjusted as necessary. ?? The contrast may be adjusted when in the main screen by simply using the “UP” and “DOWN” arrow keys. BACKLIGHT: Toggles the backlighting between “LOW”, “MED” and “HIGH”. The low and medium settings are better suited to night operation while the high setting is better for day operation DISPLAY INVERT : The “DISPLAY INVERT” item toggles the display invert option on and off. When the display invert option is off all character pixels are blackened and all the background pixels are illuminated. When Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 41 Page the display invert option is on background pixels are blackened and all character pixels are illuminated. LIGHT BAR: Adjusts the LED brightness of the optional guidance lightbar. 5.4 ELEVATOR The “ELEVATOR FACTORS” screen contains factors which relate to the yield capacity of the elevator. Following the procedure given below provides the canlink with information about your elevator's yield capacity. This information is used when calculating live yield values. Follow the procedure below to calibrate the elevator factors for your harvester. Note that the calibration procedure is particular to the crop being harvested, ie swathed or standing. Make sure that area of crop where you perform the procedure is of a uniform density (ie not patchy). ELEVATOR FACTORS CALIBRATION PROCEDURE 1. Update the zero value of the yield sensor in the calibration screen. See the zeroing procedure in section 5.1 CALIBRATION. 2. Do some harvesting at the maximum rate at which you will operate your machine. Make sure you take note of the speed your machine is travelling at. This is to determine the speed at which maximum throughput of your machine occurs. 3. Enter the "ELEVATOR FACTORS" screen (Press "CAL", highlight "ELEVATOR" & press "CAL"). CALIBRATION FOR SWATHED CROP 1. Take the maximum harvest speed determined in step 2 above. 2. Calculate 1/8, ¼, ½ and ¾ of the maximum harvest speed. 3. Drive the machine at 1/8 of the maximum speed for at least 1 minute. After a minute and still at this speed, highlight "1/8" (press softkey adjacent to "1/8") in the "ELEVATOR FACTORS" screen. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 42 Page 4. While still at this speed, observe the "CURRENT READING" and then press and hold the "UPDATE" key at bottom of screen until a very similar number in the "1/8" section appears (the updated reading is an average of the current reading). 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for ¼, ½ and ¾ of the maximum harvest speed. If at any time the number entered by the update softkey is a long way off the current reading press "UPDATE" again. CALIBRATION FOR STANDING CROP 1. Measure the comb width and split it into 1/8, ¼, ½ and ¾ sections. Mark these points on the comb. See diagram below. 2. Drive the machine at the maximum harvest rate speed for the length of the entire calibration procedure. 3. Start harvesting with just 1/8 of the comb in the crop for at least 1 minute. After a minute and still at this width, highlight "1/8" (press softkey adjacent to "1/8") in the "ELEVATOR FACTORS" screen. 4. While still at this width, observe the "CURRENT READING" and then press and hold the "UPDATE" key at the bottom of screen until a similar number in the "1/8" section appears (the updated reading is an average of the current reading). 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for ¼, ½, ¾ of the comb width and finally the full comb width. If at any time the number entered by the update softkey is a long way off the current reading press "UPDATE" again. NOTE: ?? While calibrating each point (1/8, ¼, ½ and ¾) the machine must be driven for at least one minute to allow the machine to settle down and the canlink 3000 to average the data. ?? While updating each of the five points (max, ¾, ½ etc) the current reading will become the reading for the point being updated. ?? Updated reading should always be very similar to the current reading. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 43 Page 5.5 DIAGNOSE The diagnostic screen displays information received from the yield sensor, pitch and roll sensor, moisture sensor and GPS. The diagnostic screen is used to check that the sensors are working correctly and the canlink receiving data from the sensors. Within the diagnostic screen you can also turn the canlink's buzzer on/off. 1st ROW The first row has to do with the yield sensor. “PADDLES” is the number of paddles sweeping past the yield sensor per second. This value will increase when driving the elevator at higher speeds and vice versa. TX and RX MOISTURE verifies that the signal from the moisture sensor is being received and transmitted. Use this as a means of diagnosing problems with the yield sensor. For example if the elevator is running and the yield sensor has been installed and the “PADDLES” value is zero then either the yield sensor has not been wired correctly or there is something blocking the sensor. 2ND ROW This row displays the pitch and roll readings from the junction box. 3rd ROW The inside temperature of the canlink (used for contrast settings) and the temperature read from the moisture sensor is displayed in the third row. This row also shows the status of the canlink's buzzer. The bottom "BUZZ" softkey at the bottom of the screen turns the buzzer on/off. 4th ROW This row displays a count of the data strings received from the GPS. The counter increments every time a new string is received. For example, if a new GGA string is received every second then the counter will increment every second. The counter will count up from 0 to 255 then start from 0 again. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 44 Page There is a counter for each string displayed. When trying to find a string’s counter ignore the three letters “GPS;” displayed before the “RMC” and VTG” strings, there is no counter for “GPS;”. Using the counters you can tell if a particular string is being received from your gps. The most important strings are the GGA and RMC strings. The RMC string must be present to display speed and to log yield data! BUZZER ON/OFF Press the "BUZZ" softkey at the bottom left of the screen to toggle the monitor's beeps on/off.

The screen brought up by this action is shown below. The sections below describe each of the five items in the screen above. MOISTURE : The moisture sensor provides an indication of moisture content in the grain currently being harvested. To ensure that the moisture values are close to the values from the depot it is necessary to compare the moisture value from the canlink with the value from the depot for the same sample of grain. Any difference should be entered into this item such that future readings will be closer to the readings given from the depot. See the example below. EXAMPLE: canlink 3000 Reading 12.5% Depot Reading 11.9% Enter -0.6 into the monitor ROLL CORRECTION: The monitor uses the roll sensor in the junction box to correct the increase in yield that occurs when the harvester is driven over cross-slopes. LEFT This factor is expressed as a percentage correction to the load per degree of slope. This factor is used to correct the load value for a particular product when the header is experiencing roll towards the left of the harvester (looking forward). That is when the left side of the harvester is closest to the bottom of the hill. RIGHT This factor is expressed as a percentage correction to the load per degree of slope. This factor is used to correct the load value for a particular product when the harvester is experiencing roll towards the right of the header (looking forward). That is when the right side of the harvester is closest to the bottom of the hill. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 49 Page PITCH CORRECTION: This factor is used to correct changes in yield values when the harvester is driven up or down slopes. The "FRONT" factor is used when the harvester is being driven down a slope and the "BACK" factor is used when driving up a slope. PROCEDURE PITCH AND ROLL CALIBRATION PROCEDURE: NOTE Before starting the procedure you must successfully complete the full “Elevator Factors Calibration Procedure” on page 37. 1. Make sure junction box is mounted on a horizontal plane with forward arrow pointing directly toward the front of harvester. Make sure junction box lid is fitted correctly with labels on lid aligning with connector positions. 2. Park harvester on flat ground. Press “CAL”, highlight “DISPLAY” and press “CAL”. Press the “SHOW TEST” softkey and press the “ZERO” softkey at bottom left of screen. This will zero pitch and roll sensors. Check that “DEGROL” and “DEGPTC” values go to zero. 3. Exit “DISPLAY MENU” and enter “PRODUCT MENU”. 4. Use “PREV/NEXT” keys to display required product. Press adjacent left hand softkey to select desired product. Note: The pitch and roll calibration procedure must be followed for each grain type selected. When changing grain types use previously determined settings as a starting point. 5. Press “CALIB” key at bottom of screen to display ‘pitch’ and ‘roll’ settings for the selected grain type. 6. Select each correction setting and press “RESET” key to clear all settings to 0.00. 7. Go to the main screen. Start harvesting across a hill. Take note of the “T/HA” reading in both directions (left and right across hill). They should be about the same. 8. Go back into the Products/Calib screen and set both the “LEFT” and “RIGHT” roll calibrations to 0.100%. This will reduce the “T/HA” reading. If already reading too low, go to “CALIBRATION MENU” and select “CALIBRATION”. Then increase the basic grain calibration setting. 9. Keep adjusting both the “LEFT” and “RIGHT” corrections until the “T/HA” reading is approximately correct (you can set different corrections for left/right if necessary). 10. Now work up and down the hill, taking note of the “T/HA” readings in each direction. 11. Adjust the front and back (front = down hill and back = uphill) corrections separately in steps of 0.10% to get an equal “T/Ha” reading in either direction (up or down hill). Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 50 Page 12. To increase the “T/HA” reading increase the front or back values. To decrease the “T/HA” reading decrease the front or back values. The settings will be different for “FRONT” and “BACK”. Set positive and negative corrections for front and back as required. 5.9 OPTIONS Selecting the options item from the calibration menu brings up the following screen. This screen allows the operator to set the moisture sensor sampling rate, enable or disable the: comb height switch; yield filtering function; elevator hold function and set the units the monitor will display quantities in. The following sections describe each of the items in the screen. MOISTURE TIME Used to set the time interval between which the moisture sensor takes a new sample of grain to determine its moisture content. Setting “MOISTURE TIME” to “0 MIN” disables the moisture sensor and associated alarms. When harvesting continuously the moisture sensor will sample according to the “MOISTURE TIME”. However, the moisture sensor can be made to sample by starting to harvest (or running the elevator) and then stopping. In this case the moisture sensor will sample once and then wait for pulses from the yield sensor to sample again. COMB HOLD The hold point for the comb height sensor is set here. In the "COMB HOLD" row the output from the comb height sensor is the number on the left and the set hold point is the number on the right. The maximum output from the sensor will be 153 with the sensor vertical and the minimum will be zero with the sensor horizontal. See the diagram on the next page. PROCEDURE 1. Adjust the comb height to half way (middle of adjustable height range). This will be the height hold point. Make sure this height is above the height at which you will just begin harvesting. 2. Press the "HEIGHT" (bottom left of screen) softkey to enter this height into the monitor. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 51 Page Note When the output from the height sensor (at left) is greater than this value the monitor will go off hold. When the output from the sensor is lower than the hold point the monitor will be put on hold. See the diagram on the next page. See page 14 for correct installation of height sensor. Sensor installed on left side of harvester. FILTER This function filters out irregular yield values caused by loose grain falling off the paddles in front of the yield sensor. The filter can either be enabled or disabled. IMPORTANT! The filter function is best left disabled until the calibration of the monitor is complete. ELEVATOR HOLD When the elevator stops the ELEVATOR HOLD function will put the monitor on hold and stop the moisture sensor from sampling. Note that "ENA" refers to enabled and "DIS" refers to disabled. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 52 Page UNITS Units can be set to either metric or US imperial. Press the softkey adjacent to the "ELEVHOLD" item until "METRIC" or "US" is highlighted. Use the up or down arrows to select the units you wish the monitor to display quantities in.

The capacity of the data card being used (16, 32, 64Mb) will be detected and displayed automatically in the "DATA CARD" screen. If no card has been inserted or there has been an error in reading the card or "DATA CARD" is set to "DISABLED" then the capacity displayed will be 0 MB. Please see below for information on MultiMedia data cards. MultiMedia CARD INFORMATION MultiMedia cards are a removable storage media currently being used by many devices such as digital cameras and digital voice recorders to record/store data. In the Windows environment using a USB card reader, multimedia cards act just like another hard drive, where files can be stored and removed. While any file can be stored on a multimedia card we recommend that when using the mmc card to upload new software onto the canlink or log data there are only canlink related files such as software and log files. Please read through the information below as it contains important information relating to the use of mmc data cards with different windows operating systems. Revision 0 November 2005 Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 54 Page INSERTING/REMOVING THE MMC CARD The mmc card can be inserted into the canlink at any time, if the canlink is on or not. See the diagram below for correct insertion. Never remove the mmc card when the canlink is on. The canlink will beep continuously telling you to insert the card into the canlink. Always switch off the canlink before removing the mmc card! FORMATTING/INITIALIZING MMC cards can be formatted under windows, in "Windows Explorer". WINDOWS PLATFORMS When installing the "Motion Flash" card reader supplied by Farmscan another drive to read and write to the mmc card will be added to your system. In all Windows platforms (98, Me, 2000 and XP) data can be copied from and to the mmc card using "Windows Explorer". In all the Windows platforms except Windows 2000 the mmc data card can be simply inserted and removed after copying files from or to the mmc card.

Cross track and heading error will disappear and left/right steering indications (line at apex of triangle) and distance from the flag position will appear. See diagram on the previous page for an example of the flag screen. 3. As you drive away from the flag position the distance count will increase and the line at the apex of the triangle will indicate the direction to steer to return to the flag position. 4. To return to the flag position, follow the steering indications and the distance count. If the line at the apex of the triangle is vertical (no lean) and the distance count is decreasing then you are driving straight toward the flag position. 5. As you approach the flag position the distance count will decrease. Decrease your speed. Keep driving until the distance count reads close to 1m or less. Note Due to GPS wander the distance count will never read exactly 0m. 6. Now at the flag position press the “GUIDE” softkey. 7. The guidance screen will return to normal. Cross track and heading error will be displayed. You are ready to resume work.

If the problem can not be remedied contact the Farmscan Service Department on +61 8 9470 1177 (fax: +61 8 9470 2855) or via e-mail: [email protected]. PROBLEM 1. 2. 3. 4. POSSIBLE CAUSE / REMEDY a) Connect black from junction box directly to negative side and red to positive side of battery. Check there is 12V DC across the red and black power cables. b) Check connections at battery are clean and tight at terminals, try with engine running. c) Check that no other electrical device is connected to the same power cable – the power cable must be completely independent. d) Connect monitor direct to another 12 Volt battery known to be in good condition. e) Run power cable direct to battery. Do not share power with other devices. f) Unable to locate fault – contact nearest dealer. CANLINK 3500 TURNS ON BUT NO DISPLAY ON SCREEN. a) Use the left and right arrow keys to adjust the contrast. b) If no response, switch the unit off and on and press the right arrow for 5 to 10 seconds. TOTAL AND TRIP AREA INCORRECT OR NOT RECORDING a) Check speed readout is correct and steady - if not, this will affect the area totals. See Troubleshooting Section . b) Check that the width factor in the “MACHINE MENU” is correct. c) Check that the monitor is not on hold. For the monitor to not be on hold none of the following messages should appear: “COMB HOLD”, “AUTO HOLD”, “SPEED HOLD”, “ON HOLD” etc. a) GPS must be connected to monitor. b) If GPS connected but still no speed, check GPS is enabled and baud rate is set correct for your GPS (“CLOCK/GPS” screen). c) If still no speed after following points a) and b) then check monitor is receiving RMC string from GPS (check in grain diagnostic screen see section 5.3). If RMC string not being received then enable RMC string in GPS. CANLINK 3500 DOES NOT TURN ON.

ALARM MESSAGE: “EYE BLOCK 1” YIELD SENSOR INACCURATE MESSAGE “MOIST FAILED”. Revision 0 November 2005 Page POSSIBLE CAUSE / REMEDY a) Monitor and yield sensor communications problem. Check junction box for loose connections to both parts of yield sensor. Connection to both parts of yield sensor is secure. Also check connections are correct. If correct and secure see point b) below. b) Remove both magnetic fittings from elevator and clean lens. Carefully reinstall both magnetic fittings and sensors. a) Check “CALIBRATION” factor and repeat calibration factor procedure in section 5.1. b) Read and follow elevator factor calibration procedure in section 5.4. c) Check both parts of yield sensor are securely mounted and still see each other level across the elevator chute and are directly aligned! d) Check that paddle support bracket does not cross the path of the yield sensor. The yield sensor must see only the paddle and the grain on the paddle, not the bracket that holds the paddle to the chain. e) Enter grain diagnostic screen. Run elevator at a constant paddle frequency and check the “PADDLES” reading. The reading should be constant not erratic. Also if possible check that paddles reading corresponds to the number of paddles passing the yield sensor per second. If all correct yield sensor is ok. f) Make sure chain pulling paddles in the elevator is tight. Elevator chain, must be tight. Replace worn paddles. Tighten paddles. Loose paddles can affect yield values. The presence of some worn paddles with unworn paddles can influence the yield reading. Replace worn paddles. g) Replace missing paddles. Clean paddles. Replace bent paddles or straighten out. a) Check connections of moisture sensor at junction box. Check cables have been wired correctly. Also check cable connections to the scre-in terminals inside the junction box are secure. b) Check moisture sensor is receiving power +12V DC. Check 4 core cable to sensor is not broken. Use a multimeter to test continuity of cable from junction box to sensor. If cable ok return sensor for servicing. Part No. : AM-3500GYM Updated : 17/11/2005 canlink 3500 GYM Grain Yield Monitor : TROUBLESHOOTING 79 8. MONITOR GOES ON HOLD WHEN NOT DESIRED. Page a) Decrease or disable the hold speed function (ie set to 0.0 km/h). b) Disable “ELEVATOR HOLD” in the options screen. Whenever the elevator stops running the monitor will go on hold. c) If installed check that the height switch is not being triggered by mistake. If this is the case “COMB HOLD” will be displayed when not wanted. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE / REMEDY 9. PADDLE COUNT IS HALF THAT IT SHOULD BE AND YIELD IS READING HALF. The filter function in the options screen was enabled while following the zeroing procedure. Disable filter in options screen and repeat the zeroing procedure in section 5.1. 10. DATA CARD INSERTED BUT ALARM “CARD ERROR” DISPLAYED. 11. 12. ALARM MESSAGE: “MOIST STUCK” MOISTURE READING VERY WRONG Revision 0 November 2005 a) Data card not inserted correctly. Carefully re-insert data card as shown in the appendix section 7.1. b) Check card on your PC using Windows Explorer to see the contents of the card can be read. If not card is faulty. a) The interior piston has stopped moving. Check for and remove any obstructions such as grain or foreign matter. b) Remove the four screws from the top of sensor. Remove white sealing ring and both seals. Plug in moisture sensor and see if piston moves. If so clean both seals and white seal ring thoroughly and screw back in place. If not return unit for service. c) Due to compaction of grain on sensor, piston has stopped. Clear compacted grain off sensor. If “MOIST STUCK” is not displayed 30 seconds afterwards then problem solved. a) Enter diagnostic screen and check the “CAP” and “TMP” value in the second row. Check "TMP" value correctly reflects outside temperature. Check “CAP” value increases when you put your hand inside sensor. If OK see b) below. If not ok, sensor needs servicing. b) Check red eye terminal with black wire is still fastened to sensor casing. If loose tighten. Check that there is no metal in the sensor's sampling cavity connecting the cavity wall to the inner white core. Remove any foreign material from sampling cavity if present.
