Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the 600A1 Moisture Monitor System. This system is designed to monitor the
moisture of the forage crop and to plug directly into the baler’s ISOBUS and display on a C1000 monitor. The
600A1 Moisture Monitor System offers these advantages:
1. Operation coordinated with baler operation
2. Records kept together
3. Less cab clutter providing better visibility
4. And the system is ready for future updates.
5. Ease of use with all information on one screen
The 600A1 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 model
600A1 is included in the back of this manual. If you do have questions bring this manual into the dealership.
They can assist you in ordering the correct replacement parts.
The 600A1 Moisture Monitoring System can have a complete preservative applicator added as well as the
tagging option to enhance the system at any time. Contact your local dealer for more information.
Right and Left sides are determined by facing in the direction of forward travel.

Installing the 600A1 Moisture Sensor Kit
Mounting the Dual Channel Processor (DCP)
Locate the Dual Channel Processor (006-6671LS), four 5/16” x 1” hex bolts, flats, locks and nuts. Mark, and
drill four 3/8” (9.525 mm) holes following the template shown below. The whip wire extension on the DCP
should be facing down when attached to the baler. Mount the DCP cover (001-5650X) over the DCP and
secure the hardware.
A = 12” (304.80mm)
B = 3” or (76.200mm)
10.62 inches = 270mm
5.00 inches = 127mm

6
Installing Star Wheels
The star wheel block has a plug on one side and a wire grommet on the other side. If there is interference or
problems with the star wheel wires on one side of the block, exchange the wire grommet with the plug so the
wire can exit the block on the opposite side. Mount the twine guards using the two inner holes on the star
wheel block.
The star wheels are to be mounted on top of the baler just behind the knotters and under the walkway on both
sides. The notch and holes for the star wheels are pre-cut. Place the spacer plate (001-6707E) over the pre-cut
holes. Attach with 5/16” x 1/2" Allen head bolts and internal star washers from inside the bale chamber. Center
the star wheels over the top of the spacer plate, place the twine diverters on top of the star wheel and attach
with 5/16” x 2-1/4” hex bolt and lock washers. For remaining two holes of each star wheel attach with 5/16” x 2-
1/4" hex bolt, lock washer, and one 5/16” thick flat washer per bolt. Verify the star wheels align with bale
chamber before tightening all hardware. (The twine guard with the two additional holes should be placed
on the right side of the baler looking from the rear).

Wiring Installation
Connecting to the Baler Harness
Locate the communication harness (006-6650VC)
and the connection point shown (Left) on baler.
Under the chamber locate the Active Terminator from the
end of the baler harness. It is located at the right rear corner
of the baler frame. Attach Baler Interface Harness
(006-6650VC) to that location. Reconnect Active Terminator
to open port of that same harness (006-6650VC). If your
baler does not have a Terminator at this location see further
instructions below.
If your baler has the White Terminating Resistor you will
need to attach the Pre 2012 AGCO Integration Harness
(006-6650VAX) to the end of the Baler Interface harness
(006-6650VC). Please contact Harvest Tec for this harness.
This style terminator may be next to the Baler’s Main
Processor.
Be sure to mount and secure all harnesses away from
hydraulic lines and moving parts.

8
Connecting the Star Wheels to the DCP
Locate the moisture harness (006-4640E2). Remove the
four pan head screws on each star wheel and loosen the
grommet. Insert the eye loop of the wire into the star wheel
block and install on the end of the swivel. Leave a loop in
the wire to allow the star wheel cover space to be
reinstalled. Tighten the swivel nut, followed by the grommet,
and finally install and tighten the four screws. The picture to
the right shows the star wheel block open with the wire
looped and attached to the swivel. Once both wheels are
complete route the harness towards the DCP on the back
right twine box. Be sure to mount and secure all harnesses
away from hydraulic lines and moving parts.
Connecting the Harnesses to the DCP
1. Install the green capped terminating resistor (006-5650Z) to the Dual Channel Processor (DCP).
2. Route the communication harness (006-6650VC) from the baler to the DCP. Attach the harness to the
whip harness coming off the base of the DCP. Secure harness from DCP to baler communication port.
3. Install the baler’s black terminating resistor to the open end of the communication harness
(006-6650VC) next to the DCP.
4. Install the moisture harness (006-4640E2) into the DCP at the port marked Moisture Sensor. Secure
harness from DCP to star wheels.
