Lower Drive Roll (Pickup) Sensor Shown

A - Driveline Sensor

B - Drive Roll Sensor

PTO driveline sensor (A) measures input speed of the PTO driveline. Drive roll sensor (B) measures output speed of the pickup slip clutch. The monitor display compares these speeds, and activates slip alarm if speed drops below 10 percent of the calculated operating speed for more than 1 second. The system informs the operator if either of the two clutches is slipping.


Speed Compensation of Wrapping Program

The speed compensation program applies desired number of twine or net wraps, regardless of PTO speed.

For example:

If monitor display is set for 4 in. twine spacing and wrapping is done at less than full PTO speed, 4 in. twine spacing will be maintained.

If monitor display is set for two net wraps and wrapping is done at less than full PTO speed, two net wraps will be maintained.

The PTO driveline sensor (A) must be activated within the monitor display for proper operation of the speed compensation program. (See NET WRAP, SLIP CLUTCH ALERT, AND VARIABLE CORE FEATURES [TURNING ON and OFF] in the Service section.
