Installation

Installing Standard Sensors

1. Determine sensor mounting location.

2. Mount outer sensors first, mounting out as far as possible. (if not equipped with terrace option)

• Mount all inner sensors as evenly spaced as possible across the head

• To avoid clearance issues you may need to pre-assemble sensor, mounting bracket and belt shield

3. Remove poly skid at selected locations and retain for later installation.

4. Install bolts and nut into one mounting bracket at locations marked (these can be removed after holes are marked). Use bracket as a template to layout holes to drill.

5. Drill marked holes with 11/32” drill bit.

6. Remove large cover from sensors, retain hardware and covers.

7. Remove bolt holding wiring clamp inside sensor.

8. Mount sensors to brackets with hardware provided.• Leave hardware finger tight for ease of wiring routing

later

5

Installation

9. Mount sensor assembly to header skid plates with hardware provided.

10. Mount Draper belt shield on 2008 and later heads only to sensor assembly with provided hardware.

11. Place plastic skid in place and use a hammer to mark back side of poly.

• Drill 1/4” pilot hole for each marked hole then drill out to 3/4”

• Install poly skid with previously removed hardware

12. Repeat for all Standard Sensors.

6

Installation

Install Terrace Sensor Wiring (if equipped)

1. Attach 10’ extension to terrace sensor and route through terrace mounting tube.

2. Zip tie connector before pulling slack thru tube.

3. Route harness through holes previously drilled in end divider.

4. Route harness through hole in end frame.

5. Zip tie at marked location A, then fasten harness at locations marked B with small clamps and provided hardware.

6. Continue routing harness through back upper tube Marked C to hole left of feederhouse.

7

Installation

Install Standard Sensor Wiring (all rows)

1. Install protective conduit on wiring coming from sensor.

2. To aid installing conduit on sensor wiring without damaging wire insulation, tape a wrench big enough to open conduit wider then wiring harness.

3. Insert box end of wrench into conduit using it as a guide to slide conduit over wiring. Remove wrench and repeat for all other standard mount sensors.

4. Slide conduit all the way up to sensor and fasten with one or two clamps depending on what side of support its on.

5. Tighten all sensor mounting hardware and reinstall previously removed cover.

• Be sure not to pinch wires when reinstalling cover.

8

Installation

Install Standard Sensor Wiring (inner rows)

1. Mount protective loom to support with two clamps and self tapping screws provided.

2. Route harness up back side of head to back tube and fasten with zips.

3. Route harness through back tube to hole left of feederhouse.

9

Installation

Install Standard Sensor Wiring (outer rows)

1. Route harness towards outside of head and fasten with zip tie at marked location.

2. Route harness back under side of head and fasten at marked locations.

• Use big clamp in front location and small clamp in rear location

3. Route harness toward opening in upper tube and fasten at marked location with small clamp and hardware provided.

4. Route harness through back tube to hole left of feederhouse.

10

Installation

Install Sensor Wands and Tether Cables

1. Use hardware provided and fasten wand to sensor.• Install long wands on all terrace sensors using 1”

flange bolts - bolts must extend through back of the metal sensor arm

• If terrace sensors are not used install long wands on outer standard sensors with 1-1/8” hex bolts

• Install short wands on all inner sensor with 1-1/8” hex bolts

2. Attach a tether cable to each wand.• Use a screwdriver to pry open the slit in the rear of the wand

Tether cables are not used on terrace sensors.

3. Fasten the rear of the cable to a secure location on the header.• Make sure that the cable cannot catch on any moving or solid parts• Adjust the cable length so that it pulls the arm slightly (1/2”) back from its original position

Install Insight or Horizon Mounting Bracket

1. Install mounting bracket to frame with existing bolt. • Insight (shown at right)• Horizon (shown lower right)

2. Using supplied Hardware attach Insight box to mounting bracket.

11

Installation

Before Calibration

1. Lock header float adapter before calibrating. • Lower head on level ground till float adapter rests on

ground and lock both sides of head• After calibration, operator may either unlock float
