SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1. FieldView Yield ECU. The “brains” of the operation. This device features: 16GB of on-board storage, input for External GPS antenna, Bluetooth® connectivity for pairing with an iPad 2. External GPS receiver with EGNOS correction of the GPS signal.

The GPS receiver should be mounted on the roof of the cab, on the centreline of the combine. Usage of this GPS receiver will provide better positional accuracy than just an external GPS antennae.

3. Optical Sensors Two sensors will be installed on either side of the clean grain elevator. A light beam is sent between the two sensors, allowing for the measurement of the volume of grain on each paddle. Sensors will be wired directly to the FieldView Yield monitor through the supplied harnesses.

4. Moisture sensor Moisture Sensor extends the FieldView Yield kit System to provide reliable grain moisture readings. The sensor installs on the base of the clean grain elevator on the lower door and takes capacitance readings from grain as it moves through the elevator. The raw data gathered from the Moisture Sensor is sent to the Yield Monitor and wirelessly uploaded to create high quality moisture maps viewable through the FieldView Cap App. Installation position on the lower door is important but varies somewhat from harvester to harvester. The key is to install close to where grain exits the cross auger and near the lowest point of the door, just ahead of where significant wear is visible from grain flow.

INSTALLATION OF YIELD ECU The FieldView Yield ECU mounts in the cab of the combine and needs to be connected to the standard 12V Auxiliary power Socket protected from 5 Amp fuse.

If there is not such Auxiliary Socket, you need to use additional cable in the kit which needs to be wired into switched 12V power protected from 5 Amp fuse and after that you will be able to connect Yield ECU to it.

1. Remove any headliner panels or lights needed to access 12V switched power and create a free space to install the yield monitor. To ensure optimal Bluetooth™ connectivity, do not place the yield monitor directly next to radio interference, such as a two-way radio.

2. Use the supplied T-Splice Connectors to connect to +12V and Ground. Use pliers to snap the T-Splice Connectors onto the wires. Be sure to use the correct size connector and ensure the connector “snaps” shut.

3. With the T-Splice connectors attached to 12V switched power, attach the Red spade connector from the lead on the Primary Wiring Harness to +12V and the Black spade connector to Ground.

4. Install the bracket with preinstalled FieldView Yield ECU on it on the back site of RAM mount of iPad as it is shown on the picture 1

INSTALLATION OF OPTICAN SENSOR Two optical sensors are included with your Yield Monitor. The 2-wire sensor is an emitter, and the 3-wire sensor is a receiver. LED lights can be found on the body of the sensors, the green light indicates the sensors are connected to power. The sensors record the amount of grain on each paddle by measuring the amount of time the sensor light is blocked. Your FarmTRX Yield Monitor will automatically transfer these raw sensor readings to your Web App account, so you can post-calibrate all of your fields in a few simple steps online if you don’t get around to calibrating in-field while harvesting.

To obtain the most accurate yield data readings, the placement of the optical sensors should meet the following criteria: 1) Sensors should be installed as high up the clean grain elevator as reasonably possible, in a place where you can access the inside and outside of the elevator, taking care to ensure they won’t contact moving parts on the combine.

2) Sensors should be centered on the paddles of the elevator chain. Some elevator chains may have brackets supporting the paddles which can interfere with the sensor beam. If this is the case, you can cheat the sensor location outwards to avoid these brackets.

Please refer to the Drilling Measurements Table on page 7 for sensor placement measurement specifications on several combine makes and models. If your combine is not found in the table, please select an appropriate sensor location based on the above two steps.

MEASURING AND MARKING FOR SENSOR LOCATION Next, you will need to measure and mark where to drill holes for the sensors on the clean grain elevator. On the upwards direction, the sensors will mount on the inside and outside face of the elevator (where filled paddles of grain pass by).

The Drilling Measurements Table below displays the measurements for common combines:

If your model is not shown in the Drilling Measurements Table, remember the main principles for successful sensor installation: 1) Place sensors as high in the clean grain elevator as reasonably possible.

2) Place sensors centered on the paddles of the elevator chain.

The key to achieving accurate results from your sensors is to make sure the sensors are only measuring variations in grain on top of each paddle. When measuring for the X value, take note of the brackets supporting each paddle. If the X distance places the sensor too close to the edge of the supporting bracket, or if it lines up with an angle on

Page 8

the bracket, they must be moved slightly. The diagram below highlights several installation examples with the profile views of varying paddle support brackets and the best places to drill the sensor holes.

Note: At this stage, it is crucial that the elevator chain and paddles are in good shape – the chain should not be overly loose. If loose, with paddles worn down or missing, the quality and accuracy of yield readings will be negatively impacted.

1. Using measurements from the Drilling Measurements Table, measure and mark the height (Y). Measure from the center of the bearing, to height (Y), and mark. We recommend using masking tape to make marking easier. Use a framing square to trace the height (Y) across the masking tape on the clean grain elevator.

Page 9

Rev. 0

With the height (Y) marked across the clean grain elevator, measure and mark the distance (X).

Page 10

Rev. 0

Note: It is very important that optical sensors are installed directly opposite each other, so take care when marking mounting holes. As stated above, you don’t need to follow the table measurements exactly. As long as the sensors are mounted high up on the elevator while centered on the paddles, you will receive accurate results.

2. With height (Y) and distance (X) marked, use a center punch to mark the location for drilling the sensor mount pilot holes.

3. At the marked location, drill a pilot hole using a 3 mm drill bit.

4. Using the pilot hole as a starting point, use a step drill bit to drill an

Page 11

18 mm hole.

5. Use a file to remove sharp burrs from the drilled hole.

Page 12

Rev. 0

6. IMPORTANT: Use an alcohol swab to thoroughly clean the area around the drilled hole, ensuring that all oil, grease, and residue are completely removed from the elevator face.

Let the alcohol evaporate completely so the surface of the elevator around the drilled hole is dry.

If any oxidized paint is present on the elevator door around the drilled hole, use a household cleaning product to thoroughly clean and prep the area prior to using an alcohol swab.

Note: The Sensor Mounting Plates stick directly onto the elevator door. To ensure proper adhesion, the door must be through cleaned of all residue.

7. Using a flashlight, look into the elevator to ensure there is no paddle directly behind the drilled hole. If there is a paddle in the way, advance the elevator chain until the space behind the hole is clear.

8. Remove the red backing on the adhesive side of the FarmTRX Mounting Plate and insert the Drill Guide into the Mounting Plate. Turn the Drill Guide clockwise to secure it in the Mounting Plate.

Page 14

9. After ensuring the area around the drilled hole is completely clean and dry (Step 6), align the Drill Guide with the hole and press firmly against the side of the elevator for at least 15 seconds.

The adhesive bond is activated by pressure, so pushing firmly and holding with consistent pressure is crucial for creating a strong bond between the Drill Guide and the elevator.

10. Leave the Mounting Plate and the Drill Guide in place on the elevator to allow the adhesive bond to cure.

To allow time for the adhesive bond to cure, the next step in the process will be installing the yield monitor and connecting to power, then running the wiring harness from the cab to the elevator.

11. Turn the Drill Guide counterclockwise to remove from the Mounting Plate.

12. Put the Drill Guide onto the 30 cm drill extension and put into drill.Attach the 3 mm pilot bit.

13. Insert the Drill Guide into the Mounting Plate and turn clockwise to secure in place.

This will ensure straight alignment on the drill. Proceed to drill a hole into the back wall of the elevator.

14. Turn the Drill Guide counterclockwise to remove from the Mounting Plate. Remove the pilot drill bit and replace with the step drill bit.

15. Carefully align the tip of the step drill bit with the pilot hole in the back elevator wall. You will be able to feel the tip engage.

1 6. Insert the Drill Guide into the exterior Mounting Plate. Drill the step drill bit through the back wall. If necessary, deburr the back hole.

1 7. Use an alcohol swab to thoroughly clean the area around the drilled hole on the back surface of the elevator, ensuring that all oil, grease, and residue are completely removed from the elevator face.

Let the alcohol evaporate completely.

WIRING HARNESS ROUTING 1. Once the Yield ECU is mounted, the Primary Wiring Harness will need to be routed outside of the cab and towards the clean grain elevator. The Wiring Harness can exit at the base of a window if the seal allows, at an existing wiring grommet, or by drilling a new location.

2. Once the Primary Wiring Harness has been routed outside of the cab, determine a safe pathway to the clean grain elevator, avoiding any moving parts on the combine. In most cases you will want to follow the main bundle of wiring harnesses and secure the FarmTRX harness along that route.

Note: It is crucial that the Primary Wiring Harness is secured away from any moving parts or belts, anything that may cause breaks or wear.

TESTING YOUR FieldView YIELD Kit Once the optical sensors are installed and connected to the Yield ECU, the system can be tested in the following ways: 1. Power on the harvester. This should power on the Yield ECU wired to switched 12V power.

2. To test the power: Using your smartphone or tablet, download and open the FIELDVIEW YieldKit Web App and navigate to the Connection page to search/scan for Bluetooth™ devices. A device called “YM:___” should appear under Available Devices. If it does not appear, try pressing the refresh button. If it still does not appear you may need to cycle Bluetooth™ on your phone or tablet off and on.

3. Test the optical sensors.

With the harvester powered on (the engine does not need to be running for this), go to the clean grain elevator and turn the thresher drive by hand. When the empty paddles pass by the optical sensors, the sensor with the LED lights will blink. If blinking occurs then the optical sensors are powered on correctly and in alignment.

MOISTURE SENSOR INSTALLATION The FieldView Moisture Sensor extends the FieldView Yield Monitor System to provide reliable grain moisture readings. The sensor installs on the base of the clean grain elevator on the lower door and takes capacitance readings from grain as it moves through the elevator. The raw data gathered from the Moisture Sensor is sent to the Yield Monitor and wirelessly uploaded to create high quality moisture maps viewable through the FIELDVIEW YieldKit Web App. Installation position on the lower door is important but varies somewhat from harvester to harvester. The key is to install close to where grain exits the cross auger and near the lowest point of the door, just ahead of where significant wear is visible from grain flow. The images in the sections below will help guide you.

COMPONENTS OVERVIEW  Moisture Sensor  Moisture Sensor Enclosure Lid  Moisture Sensor Flange  Paper Cutting Template  Mounting hardware  6x Bolts  6x #8-32 Nuts  6x #8-32 Nyloc Nuts  6x Washers TOOLS REQUIRED  Paper Cutting Template (included)  Center punch  65mm Hole-Saw  Angle Grinder with Cut-off Wheel Blade Please take the following into consideration when selecting an installation location on your clean grain elevator lower door: •The sensor should be slightly off from the center-line of the lower door (approximately centered between the 6:00 – 6:30 clock position).

Page 20

Rev. 0

Note, the below placement is optimal for most harvesters however if harvesting primarily soybeans consider placing the sensor further right to avoid mud build-up.

The sensor should be installed in a location where it is less susceptible to wear from flowing grain. For example, the below installation location was selected to ensure the sensor is not installed where there are obvious wear-patterns on the door (note difference in paint).

Every hatch door will show different wear patterns. The goal is to place the sensor close to the exit of the drag auger so that a continuous layer of grain will be pushed onto the surface of the sensor. Choose a position that will minimize both accumulation of crop debris and excessive wear on the sensor surface. For most, you will be able to distinguish the transition point between where grain may stick to the door and where metal wear starts to occur.

The sensor should be installed in a location where it is less susceptible to wear from flowing grain. For example, the below installation location was selected to ensure the sensor is not installed where there are obvious wear-patterns on the door (note difference in paint).

Note, the below placement is optimal for most harvesters however if harvesting primarily soybeans consider placing the sensor further right to avoid mud buildup.

Orient the Moisture Sensor to ensure the Wiring Harness will not impact the opening of the lower door. The Moisture Sensor wiring should trail towards the back of the combine.

Below is another example from a New Holland door showing optimal sensor installation location at the transition between debris accumulation and wear.

Page 22

Again, if harvesting primarily soybeans consider placing the sensor higher up the hatch door to adjust for mud buildup.

INSTALLATION STEPS 1) Remove the lower door for easier handling. After carefully positioning the Moisture Sensor Cutter Template based on the guidance given in the preceding paragraphs, clean the door surface and tape the included template to the outside of 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 a 3mm drill bit for the hole-saw cuts.

4) Use a 65mm hole-saw to drill out two hole-saw circles.

5) Option here 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) Mount the Moisture Sensor Flange on the inside of the hatch door.

7) Place the Moisture Sensor onto the flange. Take care to align the Moisture Sensor and Flange so that the notch at the base of the cable fits into the notch of the Flange.
