Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a Harvest Tec H2O Moisture Sensing Kit Model 201SB system. Please read this manual carefully to ensure correct steps are taken to attach the system to the baler. This system is designed to read moisture at levels of 5-33%.

Requirements
The app will support operation of the current operating system and one previous version for both Apple and Android devices.
**It is recommended for proper communication that the original phone/tablet power cable is used. Many lower cost power
cables do not meet requirements to properly charge and communicate to the Harvest Tec H2O module.

Tools Needed
SAE wrench set Standard screw driver Side cutter

Hammer Measuring tape SAE socket set

Drill bit set Center punch

Installation of Star Wheels
Two-Tie Balers Only
The pair of star wheels will need to mount on the bottom side as close to the front of the bale chute as possible and at least 3/8" (10mm) away from any metal. They will need to maintain a safe distance away from the twine.
Depending on the baler model the star wheels can mount in front of the needle arm Option A (below) if there is space available. When there is not enough room for the star wheel use Option B
The star wheels will require two holes to be drilled per block, when drilling make sure to keep the wheel square to the bale chamber. Any angle will cause stress on the wheel and will eventually cause the wheel to work itself out of the block. Some balers may require a notch cut on the bottom of the bale chamber to mount the star wheels as close to the front of the chamber as possible.
Use the supplied bolts and place the head inside of the bale chamber. Next attach 001-6707ES to the outside of the chamber. Then attach the star wheels to the bolts followed by the flat washer, lock washer, and nut.
First, remove the cover from the star wheel block and use a 1/4" (7mm) nut driver to remove the nut from the electronic swivel. Next, run the star wheel sensor wire through the black grommet and place the eye terminal on the star wheel sensor. Tighten the eye loop with the nut on the sensor and put the star wheel cover back on the base. Next, tighten the grommet to form a tight seal around the wire. Secure the harness to the baler to avoid moving parts.

Option A

Option B

Three-Tie Balers Only
When using a three-tie baler the star wheels will need to be mounted on the top of the bale chamber as close to the knotters as possible (shown below). Use the instructions above for proper star wheel installation.

Control Box Installation

Locate a safe location in the cab of the tractor to place the control box (006-2473SB). Recommended location is as close to the tablet or phone being used to control the system.

Connect the Power Harness (006-2470P) and the Baler Power Communication Harness (006-2470SS).

The control box (006-2473SB) is equipped with a green light to indicated both power and connection.

Plug the tablet/phone cord into the communication port (closest to light) and indicated by:

006-2473SB

Slow Blink ­ System has power but not connected to phone or tablet.

Solid Green ­ Device is connected.

**It is recommended for proper communication that the original phone/tablet power cable is used. Many lower cost power cables do not meet requirements to properly charge and communicate to the Harvest Tec H2O module.

End of Bale Sensor Installation ­ 200FCA (Optional)

The end of bale sensor is used to determine when the baler needle arm moves. With this information the system is able to show the average moisture of the previous bale. Part number for kit is 200FCA

Mount the 006-7400 sensor to the mounting bracket 001-4648RB as shown below. Mount the assembly on the right side of the baler chamber. The face of the sensor needs to be parallel to the arm attached to the needles. *Note: The bracket may need to be slightly bent for the proper positioning.

Mark and drill two 3/8" (10mm) holes. Install the sensor using two 5/16" x 1" allen head bolts, locks, and nuts. The end of the sensor needs to be no greater than 1/4" (7mm) away from the needle arm. Tighten nuts on sensor after adjustment.

The harness will need to be routed toward the harness at the tongue of the baler. Secure with cable ties and take care to avoid pinch points. The harness extension (006-7400EXT) may need to be used.

006-4648RB

006-7400 5

Dye Marker Installation ­ 200DM (Optional) Locate the dye marking kit tank and pump assembly (005-9015). Identify a suitable mounting location for the tank away from moving parts and hydraulic lines on the baler. Be sure to mount the tank within 10' of the connection on the Baler Pwr/Comm Harness (006-2470SS), wiring details in the wiring diagram. Note: The mounting location will potentially be different for the tank on each baler model. Due to various baler designs and modifications, Harvest Tec does not offer a specific mounting location for each baler model. Once a mounting location has been identified, mount the tank vertically as shown (right) with the tank lid on the top using the included hardware. Next locate the dye marking spray assemblies shown (below).
Nozzle straps should be placed directly above star wheels so spray will be applied on the top of the bale in the twine grooves. *Small square and Large square balers must us the brass tip (004-TX-5) Mount the second tip assembly on the left side of the baler in a similar position to allow the tip to spray the bale.
Routing the Hose Using the supplied 1/4" hose (002-9006) connect to the pump and secure with the hose clamps (003-9002). Route the hose to each tip assembly by using the 1/4" Barbed Tee (003-T1414) to go to each side of the baler. Be sure to avoid moving parts.

Wiring Diagram
1. Connect the power harness (006-2470P) to the tractor convenience outlet keyed power switch using the red wire with fuse to the positive side and the black wire to the negative. a. Any modifications of the power harness will void the warranty. Contact Harvest Tec before modifications are made.
2. The power harness (006-2470P) will mount on the tractor connected to the control box (006-2473SB) with the 12-pin male deutsch connection and the opposite end down to the draw bar.
3. Connect the Baler Pwr/Comm Harness (006-2470SB) to the power harness (006-2470P). 4. Route the Pwr/Comm Harness (006-2470SS) on the baler to each moisture sensor on both sides of bale
chamber, sensors are pn 030-4642UX. 5. Connect the USB charging/comm cord for the phone or tablet being used to that device and the 201 control
box (006-2473SB). 6. When using a Dye Marker, the End of Bale Sensor kit will need to be added to the system in order to see
when needle arm cycles. Part number (200FCA). Connect the sensor to the End of Bale (EOB) connection on the Baler Pwr/Comm Harness (006-2470SS). 7. When using the optional Dye Marker (200DM) connect 4 pin round end of the H2O harness (006-2470C) to the Dye Marker (DM) connection on the (006-2470SS) harness. Then connect the two straight spade connections with only the white wire to the push switch (006-2850). The remaining two connections with 90-degree female spades will connect to the pump.

Operation (continued)
Dye Marker System

When using the dye marker turn on the setting as shown and select the desired moisture to mark a bale. *Bales at or above this moisture level will be marked.

Dye Marker icon will now appear on the home screen. The last bale moisture will be highlighted in red and the bale will be marked at or above the set moisture.

Dye Marker Notes · When the Dye Marker is activated by the moisture setting it will spray 3 seconds once per End of Bale (EOB)
cycle. After an EOB signal the dye marker is then reset to be able to spray again for 3 seconds once on the next bale. · A full tank of dye is estimated to mark 50-60 bales.
Dye Marker Override

If you would like to mark a bale for any reason, press the bale icon which will cause it to turn green. When the manual override is used the last bale moisture will not highlight in red.
The manual spray function can be used on a bale as many times as preferred in 3 second intervals.
