Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor Fitting the monitor Place the monitor inside the driver’s cab in a position where it is easy for the operator to read the display. 1. Mark the mounting position and the location for screw holes as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3: Monitor mounting bracket position 05.0 55 mm 2. Drill the screw holes and mount the bracket. 3. Attach the monitor to the bracket as shown in Figure 3. NOTE: The Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor uses the same connection as the LH500C Combine Computer.
Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor Mounting the wheel sensor Mount the wheel sensor to the frame on the inside one of the steering wheels. Mount the magnet to the wheel hub or rim using the 20 mm support collar. 1. Screw or weld the sensor bracket. 2. Place the sensor in the bracket. 3. Turn the wheel and ensure that the distance between the sensor and the magnet is 5-8 mm. Figure 4: Wheel sensor and magnet placement 5-8 mm M4 Magnet can be painted Washer 4.
Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor Fitting the walker pads Mount the two walker pads at the rear of the two outside straw walkers. NOTE: Account for any reinforcements and walker extensions when positioning the walker pads. 1. Stick the supplied adhesive templates on the underside of the walkers with the arrow pointing to the rear of the walkers. 2. Drill the holes as shown on the templates.
Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor 2. Turn the straw walker to its lowest position and mark the side of the combine harvester (position A in Figure 9) at a right angle to the cable fastener. Figure 8: Straw walker mark angle 3. Turn the straw walker to the highest position and mark the side of the combine harvester (B). 4. To determine the length of cable needed to make the loop, measure the distance (L) between marks (A) and (B) and multiply by three.
Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor On some combine harvesters, it may not be possible to fit the sensor in the recommended position due to placement of other parts, such as an adjustment handle. In these cases, the sensor can be mounted higher or lower than 50 mm under the sieves. In any case, the centre of the sensor must not be higher than the edge of the sieve, or lower than 100 mm under the sieve.
Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor Figure 14: Bung and spacer placement 5 mm 7. Tighten the nuts so that the rubber swells slightly. NOTE: The bolts in the bung must not touch the plastic spacer. Connecting the sieve sensor cables 1. Connect the plug to the sensor. 2. Fasten the cable to the bracket using a cable fastener. Figure 15: First sieve sensor cable fastener 3. Make a bend in the cable large enough to “capture” the movement of the sieves. 4. Fit another cable fastener to the side of the machine.
Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor OPERATION User interface Figure 17: User interface buttons Press to increase reading Press both to set reading to 50% Press to decrease reading Straw walker loss bar graph Sieve loss bar graph The LEDs on each bar graph indicate the current relative loss value as measured by the straw walker sensor and the sieve sensor. When the monitor is turned on, the bottom LED in each graph will be on, indicating the power is on and the system is running as expected.
Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor Calculation of grain loss This table indicates the number of lost seeds per metre of straw behind the combine harvester when the loss is 1% and the field yields 4000 kg/ha.
Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor Setting up the capacity monitor Not even the best capacity indicator can prevent grain from being lost. The purpose of the monitor is to inform the operator of the approximate amount of grain being lost. It is also important to understand that the loss readings from the monitor are not absolute measurements, but are instead meant to indicate how the loss is perceived when harvesting variables change.
Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor Display indications A correctly adjusted monitor will indicate with the LEDs both the relative grain loss and when the combine harvester capacity is being fully utilized. Figure 20 describes the conditions that different readings indicate.
Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor Storage of values When + or - is pressed, the gain for both graphs are saved to the monitor. When the monitor is turned off, these gain values are preserved. When the monitor is restarted, it begins working at the gain settings applied before power off. Supply voltage monitoring The monitor constantly checks to ensure that the power supply voltage is between 8-16 Volts. A supply voltage outside of this range could cause inaccurate readings.
