P. Installation Procedures – Auger Calibration
Requirements
- iDig Tilt Bucket Kit.
- You must have an Auger with one of the following configurations:
Install the Sensors
- Install the Triangle Holder on the tilting, but not rotating part of the auger as shown in this picture.
- The Triangle Holder may be setup in ANY position or orientation.
- If there is no space available for the Triangle Holder, it is possible to install the 2 Mini Sensors without it. Follow the same rules and procedures described in the Tilt Bucket Calibration section of this manual.
Calibration on a New Machine :
- Perform a complete machine calibration :
- Select machine type.
- Select the machine’s configuration :
- This function is not compatible with a Tiltable Quick Coupler.
- Put the Auger exactly vertical :
- Use the bucket open/close control to place the auger shaft vertical as viewed from the side of the machine.
- Manually adjust the auger left/right to maintain it’s vertical axis as viewed from inside the cab.
- Click on “Next”.
- Bucket Sensor detection:
- Use the bucket close control to pull back the tip of the auger towards the cabin.
- The location of the Bucket Sensor has been detected. Click on “OK” to confirm otherwise click on “Cancel” and try again.
- If the auger does not have an individual tilting mechanism, try to move it with the tip on the ground, moving the top backwards.
- Orientation of the Tilt Kit:
- While holding the auger inclined with the tip towards the cab approximately 35° – 55°, adjust it’s left/right inclination as viewed from the cab so that it is perfectly upright in the left/right orientation.
- If the auger does not have an individual tilting mechanism, you must manually tilt the auger with tip pointing towards the cab.
- Click on “Next”.
- “T” height of the auger:
- Measure and enter the T height of the auger using the front/rear and left/right hinge.
- Click on “Next”.
- Length of the auger:
- Measure and enter the length of the auger from the left/right joint to the end.
- Click on “Next”.
- Quick coupler:
- Measure and enter the distance between the swing pivot/quick link and the front/rear pivot of the auger.
- Click on “Next”.
- Align the swing pivot/quick ling and the front/rear pivot on a vertical axis.
- Click on “Next”.
- For “floating” augers as shown here the distance to be entered is zero (0).
- The calibration of your auger is done!
- Click on “Done”.
- One of the Main working screens of the Auger Function.
To Add a New Auger to an Already Calibrated Machine:
- From the “System Settings” menu click on “Calibrate Bucket” and then select “Auger with bubble”.
- Manual calibration of an auger is not possible to do, so repeat the same process from the beginning of this section.
- The parameters of the auger are accessible from the “Buckets” tab of the “Machine Parameters” menu.
