Moisture Sensor Installation Guide

Components Overview 1. Moisture Sensor • Stainless Steel Flange 2. Paper Cutting Template • 6-32 Flat Head Screw (6) • 6-32 Locknut with Spring-Lock Washer (6) • 6-32 Nylon Insert Locknut (6) How It Works The Moisture Sensor expands the FarmTRX Yield Monitoring system to provide live and average grain moisture readings during harvest. The sensor installs at the base of the clean grain elevator on the lower door. Moisture content is calculated by taking capacitance readings from grain as it moves through the elevator. Results display in the FarmTRX Mobile App and data is uploaded to the Web App...

Please take the following into consideration when selecting the installation location of the Moisture Sensor: The Sensor should be slightly off from the centerline of the lower door (approximately centered between the 6:30-7:00 o’clock position). The sensor should be installed in a location where it will receive the greatest volume of grain flow. Grain flow Grain cross auger Place ahead of maximum wear Drag auger side Location of sensor Note: The below placement is optimal for most harvesters. However, if harvesting primarily soybeans consider placing the sensor further along the upside of the...

Angledelevator Tools Required • Paper Cutting Template (Included) • Center Punch • Angle Grinder with Cut-Off Wheel Blade • Phillips Screwdriver Installation Steps 1. Remove the lower door for easier handling. After carefully positioning the Moisture Sensor Cutting Template based on the guidance given in the preceding paragraphs, clean the door surface and tape the included template to the door. 2. Use a center punch to mark the cross hairs of the two hole-saw drilling locations. 3. Drill a pilot hole with the provided pilot hole drill bit. 4. Use the provided hole-saw to drill out two hole-saw...

5. At this step the installer has the option to use a plasma cutter to clear the opening. If using an angle grinder cut-off wheel blade, remove the triangular pieces between the two hole-saw cuts to create a clean opening. 6. Place the Moisture Sensor against the cut opening, holding it from the outside of the hatch door. Place the stainless steel flange against the opening from the inside of the hatch door, align the bolt holes. 7. Use the supplied 6-32 Flat Head Screws and 6-32 Locknut with Spring-Lock Washers to secure the Moisture Sensor and stainless steel flange into place. 8. With the...
