In-Field Sensitivity
RSS 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 Method
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 / RSCM Intermix Method
RSCM Sensitivity Dial 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 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.
