Harvest Tec 600j Moisture Monitoring System Instruction Manual

HARVEST TEC 600J Moisture Monitoring System

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Harvest Tec Model 600J Moisture Monitoring System. This 600J system has been designed to plug directly into the baler’s ISOBUS and/or an Apple iPad (not included) display. The 600J Moisture Monitoring System offers these advantages:

1. Operation coordinated with baler operation
2. Less cab clutter provides better visibility
3. Ease of use with all information on one monitor
4. Records kept together
5. The system is ready for future updates

The 600J Moisture Monitoring kit includes the following parts: Dual Channel Processor (DCP), Moisture Sensors, Harnesses, and Miscellaneous Hardware. For your convenience, a parts breakdown for the 600J Moisture Monitoring System is included in the back of this manual. Your local dealer can assist you in answering any questions and ordering parts. Right, and Left sides are determined by facing in the direction of forwarding travel.

System Requirements

• Made for iPad® (3rd through Pro 2nd generation), running the current iOS operating system or one version previous required for iPad option
•  iPad is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
• 600 Series Applicators with serial numbers before DCP27000 will require the DCP to be sent to Harvest Tec for a required update in order to use the iPad Integration Module (030-6672C).
• Hay App version must be at least 2.5.18 (or higher) to operate with the iPad Integration Module
• If choosing to operate the unit through the ISOBUS monitor, part number 006-6670A will need to be ordered through your local equipment dealer.

Tools Needed

• Standard wrench set
• Electric drill and bits
• Side cutter
• Crescent wrench
• Standard screwdriver
• The standard nut driver set
• Standard socket set
• Hammer
• Metal cutting tools
• Hose cutter
• Center punch

Installation of Dual Channel Processor (DCP)

To mount the Dual Channel Processor (DCP) onto your John Deere L330 / L340 baler, the DCP location will be on the back of the right twine box. The location will vary slightly depending on the placement of safety decals from the factory, do not cover the safety decals. Mount DCP on the back of the right-hand twine box using Figure 1 as a reference. DCP location is recommended 5” (12.5cm) from the inside edge and 5” (12.5cm) from the top of the twine box.

Installation of End of Bale Sensor

Mount the end of bale sensor bracket (001-4648J) as shown. Under the twine box mark and drill two 3/8” holes and attach the bracket using two 5/16” x 1” self-tapping screws, and 5/16” flange nuts. Position the bolts so the bolt heads are inside the twine box so they don’t interfere with the twine. Mount the sensor in hole location centered alongside the needle arm, keep the sensor 1/4″ (7mm) from the needle arm and tighten both nuts. Route the sensor wire along the bottom side of the twine box toward the twine box pivot point. Secure the wire to the twine box and around the pivot point to avoid damage to the wire. Once routed around the pivot point, connect the EOB sensor wire to the Dual Channel Processor (DCP).

Installation of Star Wheel Moisture Sensors

Star Wheel Mounting – remove any material from the bale chute. The star wheels are to be mounted on the transition bracket on both sides of the bale chute located after knotters shown above. Holes have been installed at the factory, however you need to remove the bracket and cut 3/4” (19mm) off the bracket as indicated below to allow proper spacing for star wheel assembly. Once complete, touch up with spray paint to prevent rusting and place the carriage bolts that mount the transition bracket back in original bracket mounting holes (A) before mounting star wheel assembly (C). Insert the 5/16” by 3 1/4” Allen head bolts up through the transition bracket and use nuts to hold the bolts in place (B). Place the star wheel block over the nuts. Place twine guard on top of star wheel (D), the guard containing bale rate sensors will be placed on the right side. Note: Thicker part of star wheel block should be on baler side.

John Deere L330 / L340 Balers Harness Routing and ISOBUS Connection

1. Main wiring harness and power cord connection to baler harness terminator connection
   Route cords 006-6650LS2 along this path. Keep cords away from moving parts and hydraulic hoses. Secure with existing cable clamps or use cable ties. When all connections are made to DCP secure wires as shown below.
2. Route for mounting harness and hoses from DCP and Pumps
3. Route ISO Integration Harness (006-6650VAJ) to opposite side of baler through support cylinder.
4. ISOBUS Connection
   Locate harness 006-6650VAJ and connect to baler interface harness next to baler’s processor (below) on front left side of baler. Remove baler terminating resistor and connect to short pigtail on 006-6650VAJ Harness.

Installation of iPad Integration Control

Locate a safe location in the cab of the tractor to place the iPad Integration Control (030-6672C). Recommended location is securely fastened out of the operators way in a location that is close enough to reach with the iPad cord.
Connect the Power / Communication harness (006-6650TM(E)) to the bottom of the receiver.
To operate the applicator, plug the iPad cord into the communication port indicated by:

iPad Integration Control Light Signals
Green Slow Blink – Power supplied to the applicator system and the unit is going through its startup process. This will take approximately 25-35 seconds.
Green Double Blink – Indicating the iPad module recognizes the iPad but the app is not open or connected. Green Solid Light – Module is connected to the app and is ready to operate.
*Recommended to use the USB cable included with the applicator kit (006-6672USBC)

Bluetooth Receiver Lights 

Pre-2020 applcaitors equipped with Bluetooth receivers (030-6672B) are now equipped with lights to indicate both power and Hay App connection on the Apple iPad. Clean light regularly

Blinking Lights – System is waiting for the processor to connect, which could take up to 35 seconds.
Red Light – The Bluetooth receiver has power
Green Light – The Bluetooth receiver is connected to the Hay App.

600 Series Applicators with serial number before DCP27000 will require the DCP to be sent to Harvest Tec for a required update in order to use the iPad Integration Module (030-6672C). Hay App version must be at least 2.5.18 (or higher) to operate with the iPad Integration Module
