Optical Yield Sensor Advantages
| The two most common methods of sensing Crop Yield on a combine are Optical and impact plate technologies. While both provide adequate results, the Loup Electronics Yield System utilizes the optical sensor. This is a tried and proven sensing technology that can be found on thousands of combines worldwide and in OEM Yield Applications.
The optical sensor has two major advantages that reduce the amount of time and effort involved in Calibration:
|
| 1. |
The moisture content of the crops does not influence the Optical Sensor, therefore a single calibration for a crop is sufficient for the Loup Yield Monitor. Other yield systems require a low moisture calibration and a high moisture calibration for the same crop. The optical sensor does not rely on contact with the crop to determine Yield. The Moisture content is used to determine “Dry” bushels, but does not influence the “Wet” bushel readings. |
| 2. |
The Optical Sensor can be “characterized” for the make and model of combine. This means that Typical Calibrations for a make and model of combine are stored in the memory of the Monitor. As the user, you select the make and model from our “shopping list” of combines and your initial calibration is based on these average numbers. The field calibration does not require cutting various widths, or keeping track of multiple loads versus actual. Once you have determined the actual bushels from as few as ONE Load of grain, this information is entered into a self-explanatory screen and the adjustment is completed. This adjustment not only changes the future data but also on the past data.

The Loup Yield System is Simple, Straight Forward and can be used for all Makes and Models of Combines, regardless of the age, make or model.
