2. General description GLM kit is a system that allows to increase the performance of the combine harvester (in ha/h) installing sensors in the sieves and straw walker. It is also possible to add an optional sensor inside the recovery channel in order to allow the operator to adjust the sieves with precision. By means of a graphical interface with histograms and buzzer it will inform the operator when losses exceed the set loss threshold in order to achieve maximum operation speed. The system only operates with the ECU GLM control unit: CALIBRATE THE LOSS SENSORS PRIOR TO USE: 1) WITH THE...

3.1 Virtual Terminal assembly To assemble the Virtual Terminal, proceed as follows: • Screw the suction bracket onto the rear part of the Virtual Terminal using the supplied screws • Fasten the suction bracket onto a clean flat surface. Otherwise, the Virtual Terminal can detach itself and fall during operations Note: we recommend installing the Virtual Terminal in front of the operator to make it easier to use during the work cycle. Figure 4 - 3.5” Virtual Terminal assembly

3.2 Sensor installation The GLM KIT can be fitted with the following types of sensor: • • Proximity inductive sensor, NPN, 12V, N.A. Capacitive sensor, NPN, 12V, N.A. 3.2.1 Speed sensor installation You can install the speed sensor anywhere there is mechanical movement, on the wheel (front or rear wheel) of the agricultural vehicle/machine or applying a metal reference protruding by at least 7 mm (Figure 5- ref. ). Adjust the distance between the sensor and the bolts to 2-3 mm (Figure 5 – ref. ). Fasten the sensor supporting bracket (supplied) securely to a fixed part of the vehicle...

3.2.2 "RPM" sensor installation The inductive sensor to detect turbine RPM must be positioned in front of metal references with a diameter at least equal to the corresponding sensor and protruding from any other metal mass by at least 7mm. The distance between the sensor and its metal reference varies from 2 to 3mm. The figures below show two different installation examples. 2-3 mm RPM sensor RPM sensor Bushing PTO connection Bolt Bolt Figure 6 - Installation of the inductive sensor D.18 on the PTO. 2mm Figure 7 - Installation of the inductive sensor D.12 on the gearbox. Warning The sensor...

3.3 Keyboard operation 3.3.1 Home screen Figure 8 When switched on during the initial phase, the following screen appears, showing the software version of the Virtual Terminal. 1. 2. VT SET: pressing the menu key when the system is starting up displays the Virtual Terminal management menu. ON/OFF: system switch-on and switch-off.

Figure 9 The front panel allows the operator to display all the data of the working cycle. The following elements can be seen on the panel: 1. 2. 3. 4. ON/OFF: system switch-on and switch-off. Menu: press it once to go to the next screen; press and hold down to switch to the programming mode. UP: increases the selected value. DOWN: decreases the selected value. OK : selects the parameter to be changed

3.3.3 Screen of sensor sensitivity ON/OFF: system switch-on and switch-off. Menu: press it once to go to the next screen; press and hold down to switch to the programming mode. UP: increases the selected value. DOWN: decreases the selected value. OK : selects the parameter to be changed

3.4 Graphic interface description 3.4.1 Home screen Pressing the menu key during system startup allows access to the device configuration screens. VT SET consists of the following parameters: 1. Language: system operation language selection 2. Unit of measurement: selection of the type of unit of measurement to use. 3. Date and time: set date and hour of the system. 4. Backlight: display backlighting intensity adjustment 5. Buzzer volume: buzzer volume adjustment. 6. Dimmer: automatic "day" to "night" switching mode can be scheduled and vice versa, the two modes are designed to optimise...

Speed: Work speed indicator, if the sensor is present. Splitting bar: selecting this parameter allows to split the width of the work bar. Splitting the object can be done up to 4 sections. Fan RPM value: the system displays the RPM value of the fan, if the sensor is present. Destemmer paddle RPM value: the system displays the RPM value of the destemmer paddle, if the sensor is present. Counter ha/h: Indicates the average of the hectares worked per hour, if the sensor is present. Variable range: This area allows you to display one of the parameters indicated below, depending on the selection...
