Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor
Fitting the monitor
Place the monitor inside the driver’s cab in a position where it is easy for the operator to read the display.
1. Mark the mounting position and the location for screw holes as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Monitor mounting bracket position
2. Drill the screw holes and mount the bracket.
3. Attach the monitor to the bracket as shown in Figure 3.
NOTE: The Sentry 6510 Capacity Monitor uses the same connection as the LH500C Combine Computer. If the combine harvester already
has an LH500C installed, simply connect the cable from the monitor to the port on the main cable.
Fitting the junction box
Mount the junction box at the rear of the combine harvester on the right side where it will be well-protected and accessible for connecting
cabling (the main cable, shown in Figure 1, is 10 m long).
1. Lead the cable from the monitor along existing supply mains and hydraulic tubes through the hole in the junction box.
NOTE: Beware of rotating parts, sharp edges and high temperatures (such as from exhaust).
2. Connect the cable to the circuit board as shown in Figure 2.
Connecting the power supply
The supply voltage is 12 Volt.
1. Connect the supply cable to 12 V such that when the combine harvest ignition is turned off, power to the monitor is also turned off.
2. Connect the red cable to the +12 V and the black cable to the ground (0V).

Mounting the wheel sensor
Mount the wheel sensor to the frame on the inside one of the steering wheels.
Mount the magnet to the wheel hub or rim using the 20 mm support collar.
1. Screw or weld the sensor bracket.
2. Place the sensor in the bracket.
3. Turn the wheel and ensure that the distance between the sensor and the magnet is 5-8 mm.
Figure 4: Wheel sensor and magnet placement
4. Put the sensor cable to the junction box and connect to the circuit board as shown in Figure 2.
5. Use cable ties to x the cable so it will not be pinched or worn during operation.

Fitting the walker pads
Mount the two walker pads at the rear of the two outside straw walkers.
NOTE: Account for any reinforcements and walker extensions when positioning the walker pads.
1. Stick the supplied adhesive templates on the underside of the walkers with the arrow pointing to the rear of the walkers.
2. Drill the holes as shown on the templates.
Figure 5: Walker pad placement
Connecting the walker pad cables
The straw walker cable must contain a loop between the walker and the combine harvester body. The loop must be large enough to “capture”
the circular movement of the straw walkers without stressing the cable.
Figure 6: Walker pad cable loop
1. Attach the cable to the underside of the straw walker approximately 20 cm from the point at which the cable comes through the walker.
Attach the fastener carefully to preserve cable life.

2. Turn the straw walker to its lowest position and mark the side of the combine harvester (position A in Figure 9) at a right angle to the cable
fastener.
Figure 8: Straw walker mark angle
3. Turn the straw walker to the highest position and mark the side of the combine harvester (B).
4. To determine the length of cable needed to make the loop, measure the distance (L) between marks (A) and (B) and multiply by three.
Figure 9: Straw walker loop length calculation
5. Make a loop of from the calculated length of cable and attach the cable fastener 20 mm under the lower mark.
6. Repeat for both walker pads.
7. Connect the cables to the junction box, avoiding any sharp edges, pinch points or other sources of cable damage, and fasten to the
combine harvester using supplied cable ties.
8. Connect the cables to the circuit board as shown in Figure 2.
Fitting the sieve sensor
Position
The sieve sensor must be tted so it can measure the grain loss behind the sieves across the entire width of the sieves. The best sieve
sensor position for normal grain types is 120 mm behind the rear edge of the sieves and 50 mm under the sieves (measured from the centre
of the tube).
Figure 10: Sieve sensor bracket placement
The supplied brackets have three slits. When tting, measure from the middle slit to allow the sensor to be moved depending on crop type.
For example, the sensor can be moved closer when harvesting a crop where little air is blown under the sieves, such as oilseed rape, or the
sensor can be moved further away when harvesting a crop that requires more air to be blown under the sieves.
