The monitor-controller is mounted on the tractor and is powered by the tractor's 12 V electrical system. When first turned on, the control unit performs a self-test to ensure that the system is ready to operate. The control unit then sends a brief communication signal to the wrap actuator (twine or net wrap) and waits for a reply before starting normal operations. A reply signal must be received or the control unit does not go into the operating mode and the STOP indicator lights.

The monitor-controller uses various sensors and switches to perform the following:

• The sensors are used for monitoring:
  • Bale Diameter
  • Bale Shape
  • PTO Speed (if equipped)
  • Pickup Speed (if equipped)
• The switches are used for monitoring:
  • Gate Position (Open or Closed)
  • Oversize Bale
  • Net Wrap (if equipped)
  • Knife Position (HC2 feed system, if equipped)
  • Drop Floor Position (HC2 feed system, if equipped)

To perform the twine or net application process, the control unit provides power to operate the bale wrap actuator (twine or optional net). The twine or net actuator is normally engaged automatically by the control unit. The twine or net actuator can also be engaged by the operator by pressing the wrap key.
