Wiring Diagram
1 Locate the tractor power/communication harness (006-6650TM(E)).
2 At the back of the tractor run the power leads to the battery.
3 Connect the red power wire with the 50 amp fuse to the positive side (12 volt) of the battery.
a. The power harness must be connected to the battery! The unit will draw more amps than
convenience outlets can handle. Any modifications of the power harness will void systems
warranty. IF MODIFICATIONS ARE REQUIRED CONTACT HARVEST TEC FIRST!
b. This unit will not function on positive ground tractors.
c. If the unit loses power while operating it will not keep track of accumulated pounds of
product used and bale records.
4 Connect the black ground wire to frame of tractor or negative side of (12 volt) battery.
5 Connect the Bluetooth Receiver (030-6672B) to the Communication Harness (006-6650TM(E)). Place
in a safe location in the cab. Behind the seat for example.
6 Connect the orange wires and attach the plug to the tractor’s ISOBUS port.
7 Connect the end to the Communication Harness (006-6650TM(E)) to the Bluetooth Receiver.
8 Connect the orange keyed power wires (006-5650K) and attach the plug to the tractor’s ISOBUS port.

Common Questions
1. How do I turn the system on/off?
To turn the system ON open the Hay App, then select the active system for the baler you are using. Press the
Wake Up tab if the system was put into Standby mode when last used. If not in Standby mode, select
Automatic or Manual mode to begin.
To turn the system OFF click the Standby tab on the Main Menu screen. To close the app double click the
home button on the iPad and swipe the app that you would like closed, toward the top of the screen until it is
no longer visible. See SHUTTING DOWN THE HAY APP for more details.
2. How to get in the LBS/TON, MC%, and TONS/HR screens?
In the Main Menu press the SETUP MODE key. From this screen you can change your application rates and
how much product is applied. See SETTING UP FOR INITIAL USE for a detailed explanation of this process.
4. The moisture content displays “LO” or “HI” all the time.
When the moisture content display does not change frequently while baling, there is likely a faulty star wheel
connection. Initially check inside the white star wheel block, to see if the electronic swivel is in the star wheel
shaft and that the star wheel shaft is not coming out of the block. Also, check all star wheel wires and
connectors to see if there is a continuity of grounding problem.
5. Should the battery connections be removed before jump starting or charging a battery?
Yes. Anytime the tractor will have voltage going up rapidly the connections should be removed.
6. What is the expected battery life of the iPad when baling?
3.5 hours is the expected amount of time the battery when continuously baling. Shut off all other applications,
wireless internet, and Wi-Fi signal to reduce the amount of programs iPad is running.
*It is recommended to use an accessory outlet charger when operating (not included with iPad).
7. What is the max distance for connection between the iPad and the Bluetooth Receiver?
The range for the connection will depend on the amount of equipment (tractor, baler, ect.) between the two
devices. The max distance will range between 10’ – 20’.
8. What do the lights on the 030-6672B indicate?
Blinking Lights –System is waiting for the processor to connect, which could take up to 35 seconds.
Red Light –The Bluetooth receiver has power. Green Light –When the proper active connection is selected in
the Hay App menu, the green light will indicate connection with the iPad.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Moisture reading errors (high or low)
1. Wire disconnected or bad
connection between star wheels
and DCP
1. Reconnect wire.
2. Low power supply to DCP
2. Check voltage at box. (Min of 12
volts required.) See Diagnostics
section of manual.
3. Dry hay lower than 8%
moisture or wet hay over 75%.
3. System reads 8-70% moisture.
4. Ground contact with one or
both star wheels and baler
mounted processor.
4. Reconnect.
5. Short in wire between star
wheels and DCP.
5. Replace wire.
6. Check hay with hand tester
to verify.
6. Contact Harvest Tec if conditions
persist.
Moisture readings erratic.
1. Test bales with hand tester
to verify that DCP has more
variation than hand tester.
2. Check all wiring connections
for corrosion or poor contact.
2. Apply dielectric grease to all
connections.
3. Check power supply at
tractor. Voltage should be
constant between 12 and 14
volts.
3. Install voltage surge protection on
tractors alternator.
Terminal reads under or over power.
1. Verify with multi-meter actual
voltage. Voltage range should
be between 12-14 volts.
1. Clean connections and make sure
applicator is hooked to battery. See
Diagnostics section of manual.
Bale rate displays zero.
1. Bale rate sensors are
reversed.
2. Short in cable.
3. Damaged sensor.
4. Sensor too far from
starwheel.
1. Switch the sensors next to the
star wheel.
2. Replace cable.
3. Replace sensor.
4. Adjust gap between prox sensor
and star wheel so it is 1/8-1/4” away.
Bluetooth Receiver lights will not
illuminate
1. Bluetooth receiver not
connected
2. Harness disconnected
3. Low power
1. Check connections and voltage.
Minimum 12.5V needed.
Blinking Lights –System is waiting for the processor to connect, which
could take up to 35 seconds.
Red Light –The Bluetooth receiver has power
Green Light –When the proper active connection is selected in the Hay
App menu, the green light will indicate connection with the iPad.

Installation Instructions
1. Identify 12V power source for wires to connect.
a. Eye loops included if wiring directly to the battery is desired.
b. Test for key power source if preferred to have power to the USB shut off with the key.
2. Once power source is identified, cut wires to desired length.
3. Crimp the two supplied quick connectors onto each the white and black wire.
4. Remove the round locking plastic nut from USB plug before connecting the wires. Black (+) White (-).
5. The wires will then be hooked to the designated terminals on the bottom of the USB plug
6. Drill a 1 1/8” hole in the preferred mounting location. Be sure to clean any sharp edges after drilling.
7. Feed the wires through the mounting hole.
8. If using the round plastic nut to secure plug in place, slide the nut back over the wiring before
connecting the wires to powered source.
9. Connect the wires to the identified power source if easier to do so before tightening the plug into place.
10. Tighten plug using either the round plastic nut or mounting plate and two screws, both options supplied.
11. Once connected, hook a USB charging cord into the plug and connect a mobile device/tablet to ensure
the plug is operating as you wish (key power working properly if necessary).
NOTE: This plug is not designed to charge two iPads. System damage could occur if this is
attempted. System will charge a mobile phone and iPad simultaneously without problem.
