Monitor-Controller Alarm Indicators

A - Stop Indicator

B - Gate Open Indicator

C - Oversize Bale Indicator

D - Net Wrap Indicator

Three conditions can activate the flashing STOP indicator (A) and audible alarm. If the STOP indicator flashes and the alarm sounds during normal operation, stop baling immediately. Take corrective action to silence the alarm and cancel visual indicators.

The following conditions will activate the flashing STOP indicator (A) and alarm:

  • GATE OPEN (B): Gate is open. Continuing to operate can twist the gate and result in machine damage.
  • OVERSIZE (C): Bale is above maximum allowable diameter. Continuing to operate with an oversize bale in the chamber can cause severe gate damage, roller breakage, and belt splice damage.
  • NET WRAP (D): Net did not feed or the knife did not cut the net.

A flashing STOP indicator with no alarm can also appear at start-up if wiring to the twine or net actuator is disconnected or damaged.
