Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the Header Height Sensor, a new addition to the FarmTRX harvest monitoring suite. This sensor enhances the calculation of harvested area and provides real-time feedback on cut height to the operator.
How It Works
The Header Height Sensor employs two inertial measurement units (IMU) to assess its orientation relative to the ground. A Master sensor is attached to the combine frame, while a Remote sensor is mounted on the feeder house. This setup ensures accurate header height readings regardless of the combine's position, whether on inclines or sidehills.
Benefits
The Header Height Sensor is a cost-effective addition that improves in-field area accuracy during harvest. It significantly enhances yield calculations on-the-go, particularly in smaller, irregularly shaped fields with numerous turns. The sensor provides cut height accuracy within 2-3 cm, which is displayed on the Live Harvesting Screen of the FarmTRX mobile app.
Availability
The Header Height Sensor is available for purchase on the FarmTRX webstore.

Header Height Sensor Info Sheet-1

Header Height Sensor Introducing a new product to the FarmTRX harvest monitoring suite, the Header Height Sensor. The Header Height Sensor significantly improves the in-cab calculation of harvested area and provides real-time cut height feedback to the operator. How It Works The Sensor uses two inertial measurement units (IMU) to determine its orientation relative to the ground. A Master sensor (Sensor A) is mounted to the combine frame and a Remote sensor (Sensor B) is mounted to the feeder house, allowing for accurate header height results whether the combine is harvesting uphill, downhill or tilted on sidehills. Why Add the Header Height Sensor? The Header Height Sensor is a low-cost add-on component that delivers better in-field area accuracy at harvest. Addition of the Header Height Sensor greatly improves on-the-go yield calculations, especially in smaller, irregular shaped fields with many turns. Cut height (2-3 cm accuracy) is displayed on the Live Harvesting Screen of the FarmTRX mobile app. Shop on the FarmTRX webstore.
