Replacement Lift Switch Assembly for Kinze and Ag Leader systems

admin — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:04:46 +0000

The Loup Electronics Lift Switch Assembly is designed as a direct replacement for lift switches supplied with Kinze and Ag Leader hydraulic drive systems. It features a non contact proximity sensor that replaces the original equipment mechanical switches. The harness supplied with the kit plugs directly into the planter monitor harness for power and the hydraulic drive control module to sense the planter frame position. An adjustment is provided to set the amount of frame lift (3-5″) before the switch cuts out. The position of the row unit parallel arms does not affect this switch. It eliminates unwanted skips in rolling terrain.

Only one Loup Electronics Lift Switch Assembly is required per planter. The Loup Electronics Lift Switch Assembly is available for all Kinze 3500, 3600, 3660, 3700, and 3800 model planters.

Weighlog 200 & Loadlog 500+ Software Update

admin — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 21:13:10 +0000

New Rev 10 Software, see changes below:

1. Automatic or manual accumulate.

For either Dynamic weighing mode or Static weighing mode, the instrument can be set to either manually accumulate the weight reading via the Remote Enter Switch or button, or to automatically accumulate the weight reading after the magnet has been raised above the Reference an Direction sensors. This is set up individually on each channel in calibration mode 1. After selecting Dynamic or Static weighing, the new “accumulate” option appears as MAN or AUTO.

NOTE: Automatic weight entry is not possible in Static Weighing Mode if the “Live Static” display setting is activated

The top, left indicator flashes to remind the operator to manually enter the weight reading.

A non-flashing indicator reminds the operator that the weight reading is being automatically entered., together with 2 short audible bleeps

2. Zero routine selection sequence speeded up

by pressing zero key for 1 second, changed from 3 seconds.

3. Zero routine automatically confirms like Loadmaster.

The display will show a value. After a short delay, the reading is zeroed. The display will show “SEt” and the instrument will return to the normal operating mode.

4. Subtract last calculated lift function.

The last weight entered can be deleted from both the channel sub-total (1 – 5) and the grand total (channel 6). To delete the last weight entry, select the channel (1 -5) to which the last weight was entered, and then press and hold either the button, or the
Remote Enter button for 2 alarm beeps.

NOTE: If you press and hold the button for too long, after 5 alarm beeps the sub-total for the selected channel will be reset to zero.

If the “ENT” print mode is enabled, a “Job Cancel” printout is automatically made after the REF button is pressed.

Yield Monitor Installation Guide

All models are included in this document, please note the yield sensor location varies, and use only the measurement for your Model of Combine. No need to mount if using GPS.

Ground Speed

Header Switch:

The header Switch performs an important function and must be installed such that adjustment of the chain can be made for varying crops and headers.

Below is a typical installation where very little of the chain has been used to connect the switch to the feeder house. Use the following general rules when installing the header Switch:

The chain must pull on the switch as straight as possible.
When attaching the chain to the feeder house, make sure a location is picked that will not be damaged by crop residue building up around the chain and sensor.

Yield Sensor:

The Yield Sensor is the most critical part of the system. Plan the installation of this sensor carefully prior to drilling any holes.

Precautions for all Gleaner Combines:

The location must be high enough to clear the variable pulley the runs just behind the clean grain leg.
It is highly recommended that plates 1 ¼” X 2” be installed on the paddle brackets. It may be possible to make the system work with out these plates but it is unlikely that accurate results will be obtained with out these plates. Loup Electronics supplies 36 plates that cover the bracket, such that the Yield sensor “sees” the plate as a part of the machine at all times.

For installing this sensor, a Step bit is highly recommended, these can be purchased at most tool and hardware stores, one capable of drilling a 7/8” hole will be required.

R60-R62-R72 Yield Location L and M series should be 35mm to 40mm. Measure to the middle of the paddle and see what the dimension is for sure.

Elevator Paddle Bracket Modification:

Locate the bag of 37pcs of 2” X 1 ¼” Metal Welding Tabs

Purpose of the Modification:

Each paddle bracket will have a plate attached to the existing bracket. This prevents the Yield Sensor from “seeing” the bracket during harvesting. Essentially, the extension to the paddle bracket causes the monitor to read the bracket and extension at all times. Since this is a part of the Tare/Zero setting of the monitor, the brackets and plates do not impact the yield reading. However, if the system were to be run with out the extensions on the paddle brackets, it is possible for the bracket to “appear” in front of the sensor as the chain tension loosens during the harvest season, this would cause the monitor to read a higher than actual Yield.

It is easiest to perform this modification by removing the elevator chain. Please refer to your combine manual for specific removal and reinstallation instructions.

After the chain has been removed, we find it easiest to weld the extension in place. Remember that only one of the two brackets holding the paddle needs to be covered.

This is a picture of a typical welded installation of the brackets:

FG Moisture Sensor Installation for Cleanout Door Combines

For Combine models with the short cross auger in the tank the FG Sensor mounting location is in the trap door on the bottom of the Clean Grain Elevator as shown.

Cut a 3.25” hole not directly on the bottom locate the sensor toward the rear of the machine.

Check sensor fit to the door if needed grind the outer lip of the bracket to allow the sensor to fit the door.

Two ¼” holes were drilled inline with the center of the hole and out 3/8” from the hole edge to the center of the ¼” hole.

The Bolts used were ¼” x 1 ½” counter sunk head. The holes were countersunk to allow the inside to be smooth.

JB Weld Putty was used on the leading and trailing edge of the sensor to seal the sensor housing to the trap door to prevent grain leakage.

The sensor is held in place with two small brackets made from 1” x 1/8” Flat iron and fastened with lock nuts.

Route the cable up the back side of the clean grain elevator and to the front of the combine and follow the instructions for hookup in the Manual provided.

Yield Monitor Installation Guide

All models are included in this document, please note the yield sensor location may vary, and use only the measurement for your Model of Combine.

Ground Speed

If your system has GPS installed the Speed will be available from the GPS receiver, installing this sensor will create a back up incase the GPS experiences any problem.

Header Switch:

The header Switch performs an important function and must be installed such that adjustment of the chain can be made for varying crops and headers.

Below is a typical installation where very little of the chain has been used to connect the switch to the feeder house. Use the following general rules when installing the header Switch:

The chain must pull on the switch as straight as possible.
When attaching the chain to the feeder house, make sure a location is picked that will not be damaged by crop residue building up around the chain and sensor.

Yield Sensor:

The Yield Sensor is the most critical part of the system. Plan the installation of this sensor carefully prior to drilling any holes

Preparing for the installation:

Below you will see 1 combine with a standard profile sensor and 1 combine with a “low profile” sensor. The combine with the low profile sensor did not require modification to the cover door hinge to allow for clearance to the sensor housing. The combine with the longer sensor did require a modification to the hinge to allow of clearance.

Tools Required:

For installing this sensor, a Step/progressive bit is highly recommended, these can be purchased at most tool and hardware stores, one capable of drilling a 7/8” hole will be required.

Mark the location as shown above, drill a pilot hole for the yield sensor. If there is room on the other side of the leg, drill a pilot hole on the other side directly across from this hole. Enlarge both sides to ¾ to 7/8 “ using either a progressive bit or standard bits.

Paddle Bracket Modification (Locate the Bag of 20 Weld Plates)

The supplied brackets will need to be welded to the paddle mounting bracket on the chain. This only need to be done on one side only. This will make sure the sensor will see the same thing every time and ensure good accuracy.

Yield Bracket Rivets

As you can see the Yield Sensor bracket can be riveted to the leg. The holes and rivets need to be between the up and down sections of the chain.

FG Moisture Sensor Installation

For Combine models with the short cross auger in the tank the FG Sensor mounting location is in the trap door on the bottom of the Clean Grain Elevator as shown.

Cut a 3.25” hole not directly on the bottom locate the sensor towards the loaded paddle side of the elevator typically the rear of the machine.

Check sensor fit to the door if needed grind the outer lip of the bracket to allow the sensor to fit the door.

Two ¼” holes were drilled in-line with the center of the hole and out 3/8” from the hole edge to the center of the ¼” hole.

The Bolts used were ¼” x 1 ½” counter sunk head. The holes were countersunk to allow the inside to be smooth.

JB Weld Putty was used on the leading and trailing edge of the sensor to seal the sensor housing to the trap door to prevent grain leakage.

The sensor is held in place with two small brackets made from 1” x 1/8” Flat iron and fastened with lock nuts.

Route the cable up the back side of the clean grain elevator and to the front of the combine and follow the instructions for hookup in the Manual provided.

Yield Monitor Installation Guide

Ground Speed Installation

The Ground Speed sensor is normally located on the right hand side of the machine and can be mounted as seen in the picture below.

Header switch

There are 2 options for the header switch.

Pull Switch with Spring.

The header Switch performs an important function and must be installed such that adjustment of the chain can be made for varying crops and headers. Below is a typical installation where very little of the chain has been used to connect the switch to the feeder house.

Use the following general rules when installing the header Switch:

The chain must pull on the switch as straight as possible.
When attaching the chain to the feeder house, make sure a location is picked that will not be damaged by crop residue building up around the chain and sensor.

The basics of this sensor are that when the spring is pulled tight the head is in the “down” position. When the tension is released the head is in the “up” position. Often it will take several attempts of raising and lowering the head to get the proper tension. This sensor should be mounted on the right hand side of the cab so you can then run the wires to the junction box.

Proximity Sensor (optional)

It is possible to use a proximity sensor to sense the feeder house for the header position. The picture below shows a proximity sensor installed on a MF 8570 Combine. The sensor is used to sense the metal of the feeder house when the header is the up position.

Yield Sensor Installation

The Yield Sensor is the most critical part of the system. Plan the installation of this sensor carefully prior to drilling any holes.

It is highly recommended that plates 1 ¼” X 2” be installed on the paddle brackets. It may be possible to make the system work with out these plates but it is unlikely that accurate results will be obtained with out these plates. Loup Electronics supplies 36 plates that cover the bracket, such that the Yield sensor “sees” the plate as a part of the machine at all times.

For installing this sensor, a Step bit is highly recommended, these can be purchased at most tool and hardware stores, one the will drill a hole diameter of 7/8” will be required.
The goal of the installation is to place the sensor as high up on the elevator as you can physically get it. This should be just below the floor of the grain tank.

The horizontal (X) position for the sensor eyes is 50mm from the rear of the elevator. If your paddles are worn on the ends you will want to move the X position in slightly, but not too far in so you are catching portions of the chain. The goal is to mount the sensor in the middle of the paddle without catching any chain.

Target Plates Installation

The picture below shows the target plates welded to the paddle brackets of a MF 8570 Combine. Locate the bag of 37pcs of 2” X 1 ¼” Metal Welding Tabs

MF 8570 with Plate installed.

Moisture Sensor Installation

Remove Clean Out Door from the bottom of the clean grain elevator.

Cut a 3.25” hole not directly on the bottom. Locate the sensor towards the loaded paddle side of the elevator, towards the rear of the machine (about a 30-45 degree angle).

Check sensor fit to the door. If needed grind the outer lip of the moisture sensor to allow a close to flush fit the door. Proper fit requires that ceramic sensor surface is flush with the inside of the elevator door on the door. The outer ring should hold the sensor assembly from rocking on the mounting surface.

Drill Two 5/16” diameter holes 4 1/8” apart. Centered on the 3.25 diameter hole. Use the sensor housing to mark the location. 1/4” X 1” Carriage Bolts are used to hold the sensor in place.

Use JB Weld Putty to blend the leading and trailing edge of the sensor to seal the sensor housing to the trap door to prevent grain leakage.

Route the cable up the back side of the clean grain elevator and to the front of the combine.

The Yield Sensor is the most critical part of the system. Plan the installation of this sensor carefully prior to drilling any holes.

Preparing for the installation:

The location for the sensor is as high as possible, below the bin floor. The measurement from the rear of the clean grain elevator to the center of the hole is 60mm.
Tools Required: For installing this sensor, a Step bit is highly recommended, these can be purchased at most tool and hardware stores, one capable of drilling a 7/8” hole will be required.
The tensioning rod may need to be re-positioned and re-drilled to allow for sensor placement.

The sensor eyes should slightly stagger in the horizontal position. The X position of the outside sensor is said to be 50mm in from the back side of the elevator. The X position of the inside sensor is said to be 60mm in from the back side of the elevator. If your paddles are worn on the ends you will want to move the X position in slightly, but not too far in so you are catching portions of the chain. The goal is to mount the sensor in the middle of the paddle without catching any chain.

Once the yield sensor is positioned it may be necessary to modify the tensioning rod arrangement. This can be done by either moving the tensioning rod so that it does not interfere with the sensor or you can carefully grind one edge of the lens cover down as is shown in the picture above.

Tools Required: For installing this sensor, a Step bit is highly recommended, these can be purchased at most tool and hardware stores, one capable of drilling a 7/8” hole will be required.
For ease of installation remove the tightening/tensioning rod, measure and install the sensor, then deal with the rod after the sensor is located properly.

Yield Sensor measurements

Mark the location as shown on prior page, use either a progressive bit or standard bits to enlarge the hole to ¾ to 7/8”.

Tightening rod:

Once the yield sensor is positioned it may be necessary to modify how the tensioning rod arrangement. This can be done by either moving the tightening rod so that it does not interfere with the sensor or you can carefully grind one edge of the lens cover down as is shown in the picture. It is preferable to move the tightening rod mounting hole to so it clears the sensor.

Rivets and hinge bracket.

The rivets need to be directly in the middle of the leg, between the up travel and down travel of the chain. The gap between the chain is the only safe place for the rivets.
