Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Harvest Tec Model 600RBC Moisture Monitor System. This 600RBC Moisture
Monitoring System has been designed to be operated through an Apple iPad (not included) using the Hay App.
As well as the option to plug directly into most tractors that have an ISOBUS Monitor. The 600RBC Moisture
Monitoring System offers these advantages by operating through an Apple iPad:
1. Large bright, clear, colorful display
2. More durable and can be read in bright sunlight
3. Wireless connection in cab
4. Can be used for multiple other uses than just the applicator display
5. Option to tie-into the tractor ISOBUS system
The 600RBC Moisture Monitor kit includes the following parts: Dual Channel Processor (DCP), Moisture
Sensors, Harnesses, Bluetooth receiver and Miscellaneous Hardware. For your convenience a parts break
down for the 600RBC Moisture Monitoring System is included in the back of this manual. If you do have
questions please bring this manual into the dealership.
Right and Left sides are determined by facing in the direction of forward travel.
System Requirements
*iPad Mini or iPad 3rd Generation (2012) or newer, running the current iOS operating system
or one version previous required for iPad option
If choosing to operate the unit though the ISOBUS monitor, part number 006-6670A
will need to be ordered through your local equipment dealer.
Tools Needed:
- Standard wrench set
- Electric drill and bits
- Side cutter
- Standard nut driver set
- Standard socket set
- Hammer
- Center punch

Installation of Dual Channel Processor (DCP)
1. Locate mounting bolts on support bar of right side of baler (Figure 1).
2. Install DCP mounting bracket 001-4703XI as shown (Figure 2).
3. Install DCP onto mounting bracket 001-4703XI and secure (Figure 3).
4. Cover with DCP Shield 001-5650X (not shown).

Installation of Moisture Sensing Pads
1. Open rear tail gate of baler and lock in the up position. Refer to baler manual to lock door open.
2. Remove bale shaping discs on each side of chamber by grinding welds. Once removed grind any
remaining welds so sides of bale chamber are smooth.
3. Place plastic isolator (006-4641FX) in the same spot that the shaping disc had been. There should be a
hole in the baler that matches up with the hole in the plastic isolator. If not, use the isolator as a
template and mark the hole. Center punch the hole and drill it to 3/4" (19mm) (Note: before drilling
make sure you are not drilling into sensitive equipment on the outside of the baler). Drill through the
complete square tube. About two inches. Repeat for other side of the baler.
4. Insert plastic bushing (006-4641G) from the outside of baler. Make sure it is flush with the outside of the
baler frame. Go to the inside of the baler and mark amount that protrudes into the chamber. Remove
and cut off excess material. Repeat for other side.
5. Using 4” carriage bolt slide the parts on in following order: metal disc (001-4641HX), plastic isolator
(006-4641FX) and shortened plastic bushing (006-4641G).
6. Insert disc assembly into 3/8” (10mm) hole from inside of bale chamber. Secure to outside of baler by
attaching to the protruding carriage bolt in the following order: small isolator (006-4641), 1/2” D shaped
washer, 1/2” lock washer, 1/2” jam nut. Tighten down and repeat for the other side. Make sure no part
of the bolt or hardware makes contact with the frame of baler-no metal to metal.
7. Route moisture harness (006-4640G3E) from processor down to the carriage bolt on each side. Make
sure it does not come in contact with any moving parts. Secure with cable ties.
8. Attach moisture cable to moisture carriage bolt by placing items in the following order: 1/2” D shaped
washer, Ring terminal of moisture harness (006-4640G3E), second 1/2” D washer, 1/2” lock washer,
1/2” Jam Nut. Tighten down and repeat for other side. Make sure none of the hardware comes in
contact with the frame of the baler.

Installation of Moisture Sensor Pads and Disks (continued)
Installation of Bale Rate Timer Sensor
The bale rate timer sensor is used to determine when the baler door is open. With this information the system
is able to change the tons/hour automatically. Refer to Operation Manual for Operation Instructions, Automatic
Mode and also record information per bale.
Locate the sensor (006-7400) and the sensor bracket (001-4648RB). On the right side of the baler find a
location 1”– 6” (25mm-15cm) down from the hinge to mount the bracket. Check for clearance with hydraulic
cylinders before mounting the bracket. The bracket should be mounted to the front side of the hinge point, with
the sensor aligned over the back door.
Mark and drill two 1/4” holes and install the bracket using two 5/16” x 1-1/4” self-tapping bolts.
Install the sensor into the bracket and leave 1/4” (7mm) of clearance between the end of the sensor and the
door.
The harness will need to be routed towards the DCP. Secure with cable ties, be sure to avoid pinch points and
hydraulic lines. The harness extension (006-7400EXT) may need to be used.

Common Questions
1. How do I turn the system on/off?
Turn the key in the tractor to the ON position. The ISOBUS Monitor will turn on, and the baler, on 600RB
working screen tabs, will be viewable. Turn the system off by turning the tractor key OFF.
2. How to get in the LBS/TON, MC%, and TONS/HR menus?
In the Main Menu press the SETUP MODE key. From this screen you can change your alarm settings and
bale rate settings. See SETUP INSTRUCTIONS in the Operations Manual for a detailed explanation of
this process.
3. 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 moisture
disc connection. Check all wires and connectors to see if there is a continuity or grounding problem.
4. 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.
5. What is the moisture range of the moisture discs?
The Moisture discs will read moisture levels from 7% up to 60%.
6. Can dielectric grease be used when connecting harnesses?
Yes. Using dielectric grease will assist with good harness connections through the system.
7. 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.
