Setting Bale Shape Sensitivity (Advanced Operational Information) (Channel 011)

The sensitivity of the bale shape bars (A) is factory set at 3 to dampen sensor signals. The reaction of bale shape bars to actual changes in the bale shape can be adjusted to be very responsive or very dampened.

Decreasing the setting makes the bale shape bars less responsive (slower to react) to bale shape changes.

Increasing the setting makes the bale shape bars very responsive (fast to react) to crop intake. It may be desirable to increase bale shape sensitivity when rapidly forming bales.

SETTING REACTION
1 Slowest
2 Slow
3 Mid-Point (Initial Setting)
4 Fast
5 Fastest
