CRUISE PILOT setup


Engine load

Loss rate

Crop volume in feederhouse

Engagement:To engage CRUISE PILOT, briefly press the A-button on the multi-function lever

If held until it beeps, the combine will relearn current throughput in feederhouse

Disengagement:To disengage CRUISE PILOT, tap the foot brake (recommended) or pull back on the multi-function lever.

Tapping the brake makes for a smoother disengagement

CRUISE PILOT setup


Procedure

1Engage the processor and feederhouse; learn the max. no-load speed

Learn the max. no-load speed periodically to ensure accurate reading of the engine load indicator

2Select “on” in the master switch screen to turn on CRUISE PILOT

Page 8: CRUISE PILOT functions are located under gear icon

3Select desired CRUISE PILOT driving strategy

Page 9: recommended strategy: Maximum throughput with grain loss sensing

4Learn zero throughput with no crop in the feederhouse

Page 10

5Set maximum desired harvesting ground speed

Page 13: the combine will not operate over this set speed when CRUISE PILOT is engaged

6

To set the target throughput, harvest normally at the desired throughput level (ignoring losses for now), then press

and hold the A-button button until it beeps; target throughput will now be set to crop thickness in the feederhouse

Page 12: to set target throughput manually

7If using “Maximum throughput with grain loss sensing“ strategy, set the loss sensors to the desired loss sensitivity

The loss triangles should be filled roughly halfway, to ensure that the machine can read a change is loss levels; repeat this process

if necessary

Step 8: Longitudinal inclination sensor calibration


Procedure

Longitudinal inclination sensor calibrationCalibration should be done periodically to ensure that CEMOS

functions correctly

Always perform this calibration on a flat / level surface

This calibration ensures performance and accuracy of the following

systems when harvesting on changing terrain:

QUANTIMETER yield monitor

AUTO SLOPE (automatic fore/aft compensation of the cleaning fan

speed and lower sieve)

4D CLEANING (automatic rotor cover plate adjustment)

Learning phases


After CEMOS AUTOMATIC has found the effective range

for each system to function within for those particular

harvest conditions, the systems will then go through check

phases between every 4 and 40 minutes. These check

phases will ensure that the machine is functioning within

the correct range for the harvest conditions. The learning

phases usually do not take longer than 20 seconds and

are displayed by a symbol in the CEBIS loss display.

During the learning phases of the CEMOS AUTOMATIC

functions, the loss or returns displays in the CEBIS

harvest display are temporarily displayed in grey.
