To install the #1986 bale sensor:
Installation on a conventional small square baler:
h
Locate a spot on either side of the bale chamber, approxi-
mately halfway up the side of the bale, 12" to 24" in from
the rear of the chamber. The sensor pad and crop diverter
need to be located in the baler chamber as close to the
plunger face as possible. The sensor must mount flat.
h
Tape the drilling template onto the location. Make sure
before drilling that when the bolts come through the side
of the chamber that they do not interfere or touch any
other pieces of metal. Using the size drill indicated, drill
the mounting holes. File any burrs from the holes.
h
Install the sensor plate with only the bale chamber wall
between it and the backplate. The beveled edge of the insu-
lation must face the plunger (opposite direction of bale
movement).
h
Slide the coaxial cable lugs between two flat washers.
Secure all six nuts.
h
Secure the coaxial cable at several points with tape or
nylon ties so that it does not interfere with any moving
parts of the baler.
h
Connect the coaxial sensor cable to the meter.
