In-Field Sensitivity

 

RS-Infield-RSS.pngRSS Method

RSCM Sensitivity Dial stays at 10
RSS angle adjustment in most sensitive setting
Begin to harvest crop
After each RSCM Detection:

  • Check if a foreign object is present (if yes, do not change)
  • Gradually increase RSS angle to eliminate false alarms
  • Note: If required, slightly decrease RSCM dial (between 8.5-10)

RSCM Sensitivity Dial at 10
RSS angle adjustment stays in the most sensitive setting
Begin to harvest crop
After each RSCM Detection:

  • Check if a foreign object is present (if yes, do not change)
  • Gradually decrease the RSCM sensitivity dial setting to eliminate false detections.
  • If the dial requires a setting below 5.5 it is generally better to increase the sensor angle and start working back from 10 again.

RSS "angle adjustment"

  • Determines how abruptly the feed roll must move in order to cause the sensor to "trip" and send a signal to the RSCM


RSCM "sensitivity dial setting"

  • Determines if a signal from the RSS will be interpreted as a 'foreign object detection"

Dial Setting at "10":

  • Any signal from the RSS will cause a "detection"
  • Most sensitive setting

As the dial is turned counter clockwise, the RSCM progressively requires an increase in RSS signal duration before indicating a "detection".

The Rock Stop'’er sensor and sensitivity dial must be properly set to find a measurable difference between feed roll movements caused by crop material only and feed roll movements caused by foreign objects such as rocks or stones.
