COMMON TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR 700 SERIES APPLICATORS.

This article discusses common issues with 700 series automatic applicators and potential resolutions for them. 


Problem Possible cause(s) Solution(s)
Pump will not run

1. No voltage to IPM. 1. Check for short, low voltage, and
replace fuse if necessary.
2. Pump locked up. 2. Clean or rebuild pump if motor ok
3. Damaged wire. 3. Repair damaged wire.
4. Damaged solenoid 4. Replace / Clean


Pump runs but will not prime


1. Air leak in intake. 1. Tighten fittings on intake side.
Replace filter bowl O-ring.
2. Clogged intake. 2. Clean.
3. Restricted outlet. 3. Check and clean tips.
4. Check valve stuck closed. 4. Clean or repair check valve.
5. Dirt inside pump. 5. Replace pump check valve.


Pump does not develop
enough output.


1. Air leaks or clogs on inlet. 1. Tighten or clean filter bowl
2. Pump worn or dirty. 2. Rebuild pump.


Moisture reading errors
(reading high or low)
1. Wire disconnected or bad connection
between star wheels and IPM. 1. Reconnect wire.
2. Low power supply to IPM 2. Check voltage at box for min of 12V
3. Baleage not forming full top of bale
allowing star wheels to not properly
contact bale.
3. Adjust flake to contact star wheel
sensors.
4. Short in star wheel harness. 4. Replace wire.


Moisture reading erratic


1. Check all wiring connections for
corrosion or poor contact.
1. Apply dielectric grease to all
connections.
2. Check power supply at tractor. Voltage
should be 12V-14V
2. Replace battery harness. **Install voltage surge protection on
tractors alternator.


Product is less than actual product used.


1. Voltage supplied to flow meter is less
than 11 volts.
1. Check for a min of 11 volts supplied
at IPM module.
2. Wiring short in signal to IPM. 2. Inspect wire and replace if necessary.
3. Using product other than Harvest Tec 3. Catch and weigh product for output.


Product shown is 10% different
than actual product used.


1. High voltage supplied to the meter. 1. Check voltage at IPM. Max of 18V.
2. Air leak in intake.
2. Look for air bubbles in line.Replace line or other defective area that
is allowing air into the system. 3. Using product other than Harvest Tec 3. Catch and weigh product for output.


System leaks product out of
tips after shutting down.

1. Dirty or defective solenoid 1. Clean or Replace.
System does not pause at the end of a row.
1. Short in harness
2. Damaged sensor
3. Sensor misalignment
1. Replace harness
2. Replace sensor
3. Align sensors – see 474C manual


Solenoid will not pulse

1. Dirty or plugged solenoid
2. Damaged wire from control
3. Wire disconnected
1. Clean or Replace
2. Repair
3. Reattach


ISO Communication Module
light will not illuminate


1. ICM Module receiver not connected
2. Harness disconnected
3. Low power
1. Check connections and voltage.
Minimum of 12.5 volts required.
Green Light – When the ISO Communication Module is properly connected, the
green light will indicate connection.



Baling Rate shows “ERROR"


- The star wheel with the encoder is installed incorrectly
so it is spinning the wrong direction. Ensure star wheel
is installed according to arrow diagram on the back.
“Auto Mode Disabled”
- Microwave chute moisture sensors have been
selected. Ensure they are off and star wheels are used
as main moisture reading for the system.
For other issues refer to Install Manual or contact Harvest Tec

iPad Symptom Troubleshooting


Tablet will not turn on
- Turn tablet off and on. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake
button for a few seconds until powered completely off.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button to turn on again.
- Battery may be drained. Plug tablet into computer or
AC adapter and see if anything happens. The tablet will
recognize it has been connected to a power source and
charge its battery. If it will no longer charge, the battery
must be swapped with a replacement battery.


Tablet touchscreen is slow or does not respond

- Screen may be dirty. Clean screen. Unplug everything,
turn off tablet and with soft, lint-free, slightly damp cloth
gently wipe screen. DO NOT use window cleaner and
paper towels.
- If screen protector sheet installed, try removing it.


Tablet is not charging or is slow to charge
- To charge tablet, you can try either connecting to a
power outlet or connecting to a USB 2.0 port on a
computer.

How can I unlock my tablet if I forgot the passcode


- If cannot remember passcode, will need to restore
device using the computer with which was last synced.
This allows for ability to reset your passcode and resync
the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
How do I send in my tablet for service? - Refer to tablet owner’s manual.
DO NOT SEND TABLET TO HARVEST TEC
For other issues refer to iPad Owner’s Manual or contact Apple Directly
