Operating VISIONTRAK Performance Monitor

The system will operate only when the:

  • Engine is running.
  • Road safety switch is in the field position.
  • Header switch is engaged
  • Separator switch is engaged.

1. Press switch (A) for the closest grain size.

    Seed size:

    Small size

  • Flax
  • Grass
  • Millet
  • Mustard
  • Oats
  • Rape
  • Rice
  • Rye

    Middle size

  • Guar
  • Popcorn
  • Safflower
  • Sorghum
  • Wheat
  • Barley

    Large size

  • Corn
  • Edible Beans
  • Peas
  • Soybeans
  • Sunflowers

2. Adjust combine and header to an acceptable loss level for the particular crop and condition. Ignore the center bar graph at this time.

NOTE: Shoe and separator activity indicators (outside bar graphs) can be used to help determine which area has to be adjusted.

3. Operate the combine at the acceptable loss level.

4. Pressing and releasing the calibration switch (B) will place the total loss display in the center of the acceptable area on the display (C). The bar graph shows the combine is operating at the total loss level that was acceptable to the operator in step 3.

The center bar graph is now a visual guide the operator can refer to periodically to know when there is an increase or decrease in the total loss amount.

5. If the bar graph moves downward (A), the combine is not operating at maximum productivity. Increase ground speed slightly to bring the bar graph back into the middle of the acceptable area on the display.

6. If the bar graph moves upward (B), the combine is either incorrectly adjusted for an acceptable loss level or is moving at too fast a ground speed. Make combine and/or header adjustments as necessary or reduce ground speed to bring the bar graph back into the middle of the acceptable area on the display.

7. When crop conditions change during the day (straw moisture, dew, etc.), make an occasional loss check to determine if readjustment or recalibration is necessary.

NOTE: When the combine encounters a "slug" the middle bar graph will fluctuate upward (for about 15-20 seconds) and will return to previous reading. Ignore these fluctuations.
