3. Input Header Offset For combines with offset headers, this compensates for the distance between the center of the vehicle, and the center of the header's swath. 4. Perform a Vibration Calibration The vibration calibration is used to compensate for the amount of force that is measured by the flow sensor with no grain flow.
ARVEST CAUTION: If Reset All is pressed the sensor will have to be calibrated for all headers! Input Header Offset If the header of your vehicle is mounted offset to the vehicle's center, this can affect the accuracy of the GPS data you are receiving.
1. Run Separator Start the separator and feeder house with the proper header attached. Run at full speed. CAUTION: Do not harvest a crop during the Vibration Calibration process. 2. Press Start With the combine separator running at full operating speed with the header engaged, press the Start button. The display counts down 60 seconds.

ARVEST ARVEST LAAS UANTIMETER The CLAAS Quantimeter Optical Sensing System includes the option of interfacing with the display. This option is available for LEXION combines of the 670 model and above. The display communicates with a Bridge Module. This Bridge Module receives data from the combine via the CEBIS (CLAAS Electronic On-Board Information System) monitor which is then relayed to the display.
Note: Adjustment of Combine Settings and the Header Sensor Calibration is performed through the CLAAS CEBIS monitor. • Vehicle Offsets For more information, see “Vehicle Offsets” on page 77 • Speed Input The ground speed source can be changed by pressing the Speed Input button. This opens the Speed Input screen, where you can choose a primary speed source of GPS, Wheels or Radar.
ARVEST Create a new Field Operation Configuration. After you have completed the grain weight calibration and a new calibration factor has been calculated in the CEBIS monitor, this new calibration is then sent to the display. The display then uses the new calibration to update all data collected since the time it detected the start of the new calibration.
