LH 865 Combine Capacity Monitor

LH 865 Combine Capacity MonitorLH 865 Combine Capacity Monitor

This 865 model is the latest in the LH Grain Loss monitor family.
We have put our 25 years of “loss-experiences” into this one product.
LH capacity monitors are in operation throughout the world, and are appreciated as robust and durable.
(Do notice, a considerable number of Private Label and O:E:M: versions are supplied to combine manufacturers in Europ and South America.)

What makes the LH capacity monitor distinctive is its two easy to read indicator meters. They provide an instant at-the-glance picture of the combines actual working condition on sieves and walkers.(As the pilot’s primary attention must be dedicated to the cutter bar and the feeder, meters must be easy to read.)

The LH capacity monitor does however not prevent excessive loss, - but it essentially record and show when the combine has reached (or passed !) its maximum output capacity !
Machine-capacity overload is unfortunately often mistakenly by many pilot’s related to excessive forward speed only !
However, the causes of poor combine performance are many, but should be known and recognized by any experienced combine pilot:
E.g. the sieve adjustments, - Incorrect thresh-drum speed,- bad or inconsistent feed (often caused by incorrect pick-up speed, or the feed auger gap-adjustment)….Incorrect fan-speed, or worse .., Incorrect air-direction on the sieves.... -just some of the courses, – Or what about a excessive return material flow? to the ever essential question : The crop condition ?

Regardless the reasons,: - adjustments and machine settings should always be experimented in advance of the acceptance of a reduction of the working forward speed.

The instant and right decision is exactly what this combine capacity monitor helps you to take. On the move. Day long !

In General is any combines maximum work capacity determined by its walkers, and NOT the sieves !

If you verify loss over the sieves in advance of loss over the walkers on your combine, it is indeed advisable for you to doublecheck and consider a readjustment of your machine settings!

The LH 865 is constructed considerably different in comparison to a traditional “loss monitor”.
It really is a capacity monitor.

These two particular features make the difference:
A ) We monitor continuously the actual ground speed.
B ) We monitor the”Air humidity”, through the light sensor.

Why is speed monitoring necessary?
Your combine driven at 4.5 km/h. obviously works more area per time-unit, than if driven at 3.0 km/h.!
However, do remember that any speed change influences not only your area per hour capacity, but indeed also the mass flow through the machine....

-a work speed increase will eventually, at some point make a "traditional" (Non Speed Compensating) loss monitor to move to”red alert”, forcing the operator to “pull the lever” and slow down again...!
So this is the explanation why the 865 not only monitor, but compensate for any variation of your ground speed.

Why the Light sensor?
Air humidity and daylight intensity are related, and interacts. While harvesting at early or late hours, the light intensity is low, subsequenty the air humidity, is inevitably higher.

High air humidity causes stress to the effectiveness of the straw–walkers. Therefore is the 865 equipped with a light intensity sensor, which automatically adjusts the sensibility on the walker sensors with a +/- 15%.
This is why and how the 865 Capasity monitor compensates for stressed work conditions on the walkers !.

The LH 865 capacity monitor utilises - as the other LH loss monitors-, - a full width sieve sensor, and a set of integrated walker sensors.
One of the advantages using integrated sensors is an undisturbed performance regardless of the whirling material caused by the straw chopper.

Sieve & Walker sensors are provided with an individual “coarse” sensitivity setting.The “fine adjustment” is made in cab.

LH sensors do not require maintenance, except for general cleaning , or ”green coat” removal whilst working under wet harvest conditions.
