The 765 model is the latest in the LH family of grain loss monitors.
Having manufactured combine monitors for more than 25 years we indeed have accumulated a vast experience within this particular technology.
LH loss monitors are in operation throughout the World , and are further manufactured in a large number of P/L and OEM dedicated versions.
What makes the LH loss monitor distinctive are the two large and easy to read indicator meters.
They provide a instant at-the-glance picture of the combines actual working condition on sieves and walkers.
(The pilots attention is in the first hand required on the cutter bar and feeder. )
However is the for long accepted expression “loss monitor” basically a misleading description.
“Work-condition monitor” would be much more correct and appropriate.
A combine working with a “excessive loss” is the outcome of a general poor machine work condition ! :
The “loss” monitor does however not prevent or minimize losses, but register when it occurs !
The causes of a poor combine work performance are many, and should be recognized by any experienced combine pilot:
E.g. the sieve adjustments,... incorrect drum speed,... bad or inadequate feeding (caused by anything ranging from incorrect pick-up speed to feed auger adjustment)...
- incorrect fan-speed or worse , incorrect air-direction on the sieves.
And what about the return material flow?...to the essential question: the crop condition.
Excessive "Loss" appears because the machine is overloaded, in one way or the other!
But indeed not only caused of a "to high" forward speed.
Reduction of ground speed should never be accepted before the many possible crop related adjustments and settings of the combine are investigated and tried out.
During this process,- the adjustments... the loss monitor is your most valuable tool.
In general is any combines maximum work capacity determined by its walkers.
If, e.g. loss over the sieves is verified in advance of loss over the walkers, the various possible machine adjustments needs the pilots attention.
The loss monitor detects when your thresher is overloaded !
Uphill or downhill. On the move.
It allow you to push and keep the threshers maximum capacity under all conditions !
The LH 765 monitor utilizes - as the other LH loss monitors -, - a full width sieve sensor, and integrated walker sensors. The advantage of integrated sensors is an undisturbed performance, regardless of the whirling material caused by the straw chopper.
Sieve & Walker sensors are provided with a individual sensitivity setting dial. But the fine sensitivity adjustment is to set in the cab by the operator.
LH sensors do not require maintenance, except for surface dust cleaning, or ”green coat” removal whilst working under wet harvest conditions.
