Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Harvest Tec Model 600 Moisture Monitor System. This 600 Moisture Monitoring
System has been designed to plug directly into most tractors that have an ISOBUS Monitor. If you do not have
one you may need to order the Touch Screen Display (TSD 030-5670A). The 600 Moisture Monitoring System
offers these advantages;
1. Operation coordinated with baler operation
2. Less cab clutter providing better visibility
3. Ease of use with all information on one screen
4. Records kept together
5. And the system is ready for future updates.
The 600 Moisture Monitor kit includes the following parts: Dual Channel Processor (DCP), Moisture Sensors,
Harnesses and Miscellaneous Hardware. For your convenience a parts break down for the 600 Moisture
Monitor System is included in the back of this manual. If you do have questions please bring this manual into
the dealership. They can assist you in ordering the correct replacement parts.
Right and Left sides are determined by facing in the direction of forward travel.

Description of Screens and Menus for ISOBUS Monitor
This system is calibrated for use with Harvest Tec buffered propionic acid. The use of other products can
cause application problems and damage to system components. It is designed to apply rates of 44 to 632
pounds of acid per hour and read moisture levels of 6 to 70 percent. The 665 monitor will allow you to set your
bale size, weight, single bale formation time, moisture levels and application rates. The Automatic Mode will
automatically adjust the application rates as the moisture level changes. Manual Mode will allow you to control
the application rates on the go.
Listed below are the Main Menu Options.
Automatic Mode ( 1 ) This operating mode automatically adjusts preservative application as you bale. The
following items are displayed in the mode while baling: Moisture, Baling Rate, Application Rate (actual and
target), Last Bale Average Moisture, Tons Baled, and Pounds of Product Used.
Manual Mode ( 2 ) This operating mode allows the three different pumps to be turned on at a fixed rate as you
bale. The following items are displayed in the mode while baling: Moisture, Baling Rate, Application Rate
(actual only), Last Bale Average Moisture, Tons Baled, and Pounds of Product Used. This mode can also be
used to prime the pumps.
Diagnostics ( 3 ) Allows operator to set the date and time. The installed software versions can also be
viewed here.
Setup Mode ( 4 ) This mode allows the operator to customize the applicators settings for their baler and
baling needs. This mode allows changes to be made to the following areas: Application Rate, Baling Rate,
Language, US or Metric units, and turn on/off the optional Hay Indicators.
Job Records ( 5 ) Keeps track of up to 300 plus jobs with total product used, average moisture content,
highest moisture content, tons baled, date of baling, and total number of bales made. Individual bales are also
able to be viewed and the records can also be downloaded to a USB drive in this mode.

Baling Rate Setup
After pushing the SETUP MODE key in the MAIN MENU screen, the top screen should appear:
1. On this screen the operator will Select the BALING RATE SETUP key.
2. Select the number to the right of AVG Bale Weight (Lbs): to adjust the weight of your bales. The key
pad shown will display. Select any number combination in this screen within the min/max limits. The
information will remain until it is changed again.
3. Select the number to the right of AVG Bale Length (In): to adjust the length of your bales. Select any
number combination in this screen within the min/max limits. The information will remain until it is
changed again.
4. Select the number to the right of Time Per Bale (Sec): to adjust the time it takes to make a bale. Select
any number combination in this screen within the min/max limits. The information will remain until it is
changed again.
5. Select the number to the right of Knotter/Star to adjust the distance between the knotter and star
wheel. To determine the distance, measure between the center of the starwheel and the center of the
knotter. This is important so the job record correlates to the bale being made.
6. When the AUTO Bale Rate sensors are ON the applicator will calculate your tons per hour
automatically. When the AUTO Bale Rate sensors are OFF a constant tons per hour (your inputed
bale weight and time) will be used. Operating the unit with the AUTO Bale Rate sensors OFF will
cause total tons per hour in Job Records to be left blank. Select the underlined word to toggle between
ON or OFF. First Time and Annual Setup is checking with AUTO Bale Rate sensors OFF.
7. Selecting the Sensors will allow you to use the Baler Sensor if your baler is equiped with them from the
factory. The sensors will come OFF as a default. If you choose to use the baler sensors be sure your
baler is equipped with that option. For example, if you do not have an electronic bale length kit, turn the
sensor to OFF. The baler End of Row sensors are triggered once the PTO speed goes below 600RPM.
The End of Bale sensor is triggered by the tie cycle alarm. The Bale Scale sensor is for the baler
equiped with a Chute Scale. Note: Baling on rough terrain or hills can cause the scale to give an
inaccurate reading. Turn Bale Scale option OFF in the Bale Rate Screen and use AVG Bale
Weight (2) reading as weight of bale.
8. Next select the Back key found on the bottom left hand of the screen to return to the SETUP MODE
screen, or select the MAIN MENU key on the bottom right hand of the screen to return to the opening
screen.
9. Select the OPTIONS key to adjust the
system between metric and standard units.
The Crop Eyes can also be turned ON or
OFF in the OPTIONS screen. Select the
ON/OFF next to Crop Eyes to change this
setting. Note: If you change languages you
may need to reset the system from the
MAIN MENU screen.

Operating Instructions
Automatic Mode will automatically apply product based on both hay moisture content sensed by the star
wheels and the operator’s preset parameters. (See Setting Up System for Initial Use to change any of these
settings). Manual Mode will apply preservative to the hay at a fixed rate regardless of the moisture
content or baling rate.
Automatic Mode
After pushing the AUTOMATIC MODE key in the MAIN MENU screen, the following screen should appear:
1. Push the Pause key (1) to stop application while in operation.
2. Push the Override key (2) to turn on all three pumps at the same time for full output of the system. Use
this mode when going through a short area of wet crop.
3. The moisture content is shown in the upper right hand corner.
4. Baling Rate and Application Rate are shown in the middle. The operator sets the target application rate
in the SETUP MODE. The ACTUAL rate should be within +/- one pound when running. The Baling
Rate is also calculated in the SETUP MODE.
5. The totals on the bottom of the screen show the total Tons Baled and # Used (pounds of product
used) for the current job. These numbers will reset to zero when a new Job Record is started. If
operating with Bale Rate Sensors OFF total Tons Baled will be zero.
6. The graph shows the moisture trend from the past 90 seconds in 3 second intervals.
7. Last Bale shows the average moisture content for the last bale.
8. Any Status Alerts for the system will appear in this area. See the Status Alerts section for information.

Manual Mode
After pushing the MANUAL MODE key in the MAIN MENU screen, the following screen should appear:
1. Push the Pause key (1) to stop application while in operation.
2. Push the Override key (2) to turn on all three pumps at the same time for full output of the system.
Use this mode when going through a short area of wet crop.
3. In MANUAL MODE you can turn the pumps ON or OFF by pressing the underlined area next to the
pump numbers. In MANUAL MODE (regardless of moisture, tons per hour or bale weight) the outputs
of the pumps are fixed rates as follows:
Low output tips: High output tips:
Pump 1 = 60 LBS/HR Pump 1 = 100 LBS/HR
Pump 2 = 100 LBS/HR Pump 2 = 150 LBS/HR
Pump 3 = 150 LBS/HR Pump 3 = 300 LBS/HR
4. The moisture content is shown in the upper right hand corner.
5. Baling rate and Application rate are shown in the middle. The output of a pump can be checked by
dividing the preset output (shown in step 3) by the baling rate. For example, if you have the high output
tips in and are running pump three by itself, your output is 300 lbs/hr. Given the Baling Rate shown on
the above screen (79.5 tons/hr), the application rate should be about 3.77 lbs/ton (300lbs/hr divided by
79.5 tons/hr).
6. The Totals at the bottom of the screen show the total Tons Baled and # Used (pounds of product
used) for the current job. These numbers will reset to zero when a new Job Record is started. If
operating with AUTO Bale Rate sensors OFF total tons baled will be zero.
7. The Baling Rate is set in the SETUP MODE menu.
8. The graph shows the moisture trend from the last 90 seconds of baling (one reading every 3 seconds).
9. Last Bale shows the average moisture content for the last bale.
