New harvester monitor give CHICAGO, HI. Instant shaft speed readout that gives an early warning of machine malfunction and reduces down time and repair bills is a major feature of a hew harvester mqnitor developed in Australia. Designed to fit all harvesters on the market, the unit is produced by Agricultural Electronic Equip ment Pty. Ltd. of Clare, South Australia. “An overheated bearing or change in shaft speed is generally the first indication that a failure is about to occur”, Kym Eldredge, who designed the monitor, said in describing its advantages. “In the isolation of a sound-proofed, air conditioned cab, the operator is often unaware of a malfunction until it reaches major propor tions.” The monitor provides both automatic and manual monitoring of up to six machine shafts and bearings. Once it is fitted to the harvester and the desired speed range adjusted for each shaft, its automatic scanning system con tinually monitors all functions. As soon as a malfunction, such as an overheated bearing, is sensed, an alarm sounds and a Generator Sets POWER •Air Cooled Units: 2 - 20 KW Maxi-Power Generator has over 325 automatic units in South Eastern Pa.

By pressing a button, he obtains an instant revolutions-per-minute readout of any two shafts con nected to the unit. Another advanced feature of the monitor tells the operator when the grain bin is full. This system is activated by a rubber diaphragm sensing switch which sounds an alarm for two or three seconds. A warning light remains lit until the bin is emptied. The electronic unit embodies a microprocessor and solid-state sensing devices instead of reed switches to monitor shaft speed. This system is more reliable and less prone to damage, according to ' the manufacturer. Modular cir cuitry is also used to permit fast changeover servicing in case of "breakdown. Employing a universal, easy-to fit wiring loom, the monitor is adaptable to both power-take-off and self-propelled harvesters. Further information about the new unit may be obtained from Barry J.
