Header Height Sensing › HYDRAFLEX Heads with Auxiliary SensorsAuxiliary sensors on HYDRAFLEX heads allow using Header Height Sensing when cutting wheat or other standing crops with the cutterbar locked into the rigid position. The sensors allow using automatic height control in a cutting range of 100 - 350 mm (4-14"). On heads equipped with auxiliary sensors, a sensor connector (A) identified with yellow marking tape is located at the header frame where the hose bundle for the single point hookup (B) meets the top beam. When this connector is plugged in, the HYDRAFLEX head uses only the auxiliary sensors. In this mode, both calibration and operation are identical to a rigid head. Whenever this connector is unplugged, both calibration and operation are identical to normal HYDRAFLEX operation. NOTE: Header calibration is required whenever the auxiliary sensor plug configuration is changed. See Header Calibration in Calibration Procedures. An additional hybrid mode of operation is also possible using auxiliary sensors. This allows Header Activation Button 2 to operate in a hydraulically locked (rigid) mode and Header Activation Button 3 to operate in the flex mode. Enabling this feature requires a change in diagnostic address E01-171. (See your John Deere Dealer.) |
