Overview
System architecture
Timbermatic 300 is the harvester’s digital control and

measuring system. Its architecture is based on CAN bus
technology and distributed control (Controller Area
Network).
The Timbermatic 300 system comprises independent

intelligent modules which “talk to each other” using the
CAN bus. The CAN bus technology allows a clear,
modular architecture, simple wiring and multi-function
diagnostics in various situations.
Timbermatic 300 comes with a graphical user interface

operating in a Windows XP/2000 environment.
The system controls the diesel engine, hydrostatic

transmission, boom and the harvester head as well as all
related auxiliary functions.

Overview
Principles of length and diameter

measurement
Length and diameter data is transferred from the

harvester head module (HHM) to the central processing
unit (CPU) over the digital CAN network.
Length measurement
The length of the stem is measured by an encoder which

is attached to an independent measuring wheel on the
harvester head.
The accuracy of the length measurement is 1 centimeter.
–UN–20MAR02
Diameter measurement
Two opposite delimbing knives are fitted with diameter
T152827
sensors consisting of potentiometers. They sense the
angle of the delimbing knives and a stem diameter is
calculated according to their angles. The positioning of the
delimbing knives allows the stem to be almost
cross-measured.
The accuracy of the diameter measurement is 1

millimeter.

User interface and control keypads
General
This section presents the user interface for this system

and particularly the controls required to use it. The section
is divided up as follows:
• display in run mode

• display in setting mode
• control keypads, functions in run mode
• control keypads and PC keyboard, functions in setting
mode of the measuring system.
The cabin, the dashboard and the controls of the base

machine and their functions are shown in detail in the
instruction manual for the base machine.
The functions of the base machine are controlled by their

own part of the control system, the TMC. When the
system starts up, TMC display window opens in the
background. Where required, it can be viewed from the
main menu in setting mode or by an Alt+Tab keypad
command but it is not usually necessary to have it visible
when working normally with the machine.

when it is out, the saw bar symbol moves to the
lower position (a).
b. Long saw time symbol
Warns about the risk of stem’s cut splits. The
following saw time is expected to exceed 0,7 s. It is
advisable to support the butt end of the stem to be
cut lightly on a stump, for example. For activating
the saw supervision, see menu 9-4, Saw

than with a new saw chain.
The machine asks at the start-up of the HHM
whether the saw chain has been replaced with a
new one. This lets it compare saw times with those
for a new saw chain so that it can issue a warning
when saw times get too long when the saw chain
becomes blunt.

Processing
General
In order for the computer to register stems properly there

are a few conditions that must be met for each stem:
1. Stem selection (harvester head close)

2. Reference cut (felling cut)
3. Species selection
4. Length selection (feeding and crosscuts)
5. Reset (harvester head open)
If there are problems during processing you must follow a

special procedure to make sure that the logs are
registered correctly. See section 042, Processing (Top
break or dropped stem)(Problems with measurement).
PY10832,0000021 –19–04APR02–1/1
042-1 102506
PN=42
Processing
Processing the stem
1. Starting a stem
The harvester head and measurements are reset for
the next stem by pressing the head open button (Z+).
Each stem is started by grabbing the stem (Z-) and
making a felling cut or similar. This means that where
a stem is picked up from the ground you must make a
reference cut, similar to a felling cut, at the root.
A reference cut is used to indicate the zero point for
the length measurement. Feed forward can not be
started until the saw has returned to the home position.
2. Selecting tree species
Select tree specie by one of the species button
(S1...S4.) or species 5...8 by pressing (F1)+(S1...S4).
The species can be selected before or after the felling
cut. In auto mode 3 this will also act as permission to
start feeding.
However, the species must be entered before the
felling cut if you are using the stump treatment settings
–UN–12AUG02
by species.
3. Selecting log length
Length can be selected in two ways in the system:
• manual length selection (preselection)
• optimized length.
T155893
Manual length selection uses the length buttons
(1)...(9), (0) or the forced assortment buttons which
have been specifically programmed.
4. Selecting grade (optimization)

If a price matrix is used, the length selection can be
based on the optimization. Grade limits are determined
using the grade buttons. The system makes a bucking
proposal based on the optimum shape of the stem. If
the bucking has to be done differently, because of
defects in the stem, the length buttons or the forced
assortment buttons can be used. You can also use the
(+/-) length selection.
You always have the last word in deciding the length.
Pressing the species button restarts optimization after –UN–11JUN02
temporary use of manual bucking.

5. Crosscut and registration

In order for anything to be registered you must make at
least one crosscut before finishing the stem.
In order for a cut to be approved the saw bar must
pass the home position sensor. This is shown on the
display by the saw bar out symbol (A).
6. Finishing the stem
Each stem is finished normally when you “reset”, i.e.
briefly press the head open button (Z+) on the right
boom control lever.
When you do this the harvester head opens up and
tilts up normally ready for the next stem.
You will see the stem count increase by one stem on
the display after reset.

Processing example
• See the instruction manual for the base machine to

switch on the boom, the functions of the harvester head
and the working rpm.
• Press the head open button (Z+). The harvester head
will open and normally tilt up. For further information
see menu 7-1, Feeding (section 092).
Use the boom to align the center line of the harvester
head precisely next to the butt end of the stem to be
felled and press the head close button (Z-).
Push the stem lightly towards the direction in which the
tree is to fall (removing slack) e.g. by moving the boom
extension or parallel joint slightly outwards. Some of the
weight of large stems can be reduced by lifting
upwards.
• For felling cuts use auto mode 3 only if the tree can be
sawn through in one cut. If you have to make a
directional cut for a thick stem, select to control the saw
manually. For further information see section 043,
Bucking Control (Saw control).
Float mode of the harvester head tilt is switched on
automatically when the saw bar has returned to the
home position. A nudge effect of the tilt can be obtained
by pressing the (1) button.
Once the saw has cut through the stem, lift the
harvester head up from the stump. You can start
feeding at the same time so that the weight of the stem
helps to start it moving as it falls.
Stem processing may be carried out as follows, for
example (see figure):

Top break or dropped stem
If the stem breaks during felling, or if you accidentally

drop the stem and have to process it in two stages, then
you should press the (1) button before opening the head
after the first part of the stem.
In this situation the system does not reset (the harvester

head remains floating) and the registration combines the
first and second halves of the stem when the second half
is finished.
Only press the (1) button if you have made at least one
crosscut before picking up the second half.
If you drop the stem before you have made the first
crosscut, simply reset using the head open button and
start the stem from the beginning.

Bucking is based on measured diameters for the part of
the stem which has already been fed. The system will
make a prognosis on how quickly the remaining part of
the stem will narrow. Based on this it can create a
bucking prognosis for the whole stem.
In order to provide as precise a prognosis as possible,
the system will study the shape of the stems within the
site being worked. This learning process progresses

General
Length and diameter measurement must be correctly

calibrated in order to timber processing succeed. Do the
checks regularly, e.g. once a week and calibrate when
needed. Check first length measurement and then
diameter measurement.
Notice that the tree species 1...4 has their own calibration
settings and the tree species 5...8 uses same settings
than the tree specie 4. It is not recommendable to use
species 5...8 for calibration or control measurement.
Check before calibration that the following settings are

correct:
• Basic settings of the diameter sensors (menu 9-5,

Diameter sensors)
• Grabbing settings for the delimbing knives and feed
rollers (menu 7-2, Grabbing)
In addition check the condition of the delimbing knives

and sharpen them if needed.
Choose good quality stems for control measurement.

There should not be any bad bends, branches or ovality in
the stem. Good diameter in breast height is for example
about 300 mm. Start measuring and calibration from a
stem whith small branches.
Use an approved measuring tape and a calliper with

millimeter graduations. Be careful with the manual
measurement
Check that the measuring tape is in straight line during

length measuring.
The calliper should be in right-angle to the longitudial axis

of the stem. Regular measurement checks are to be
carried out using an electronic calliper as follows:
1. Carry out a checking batch of a few logs. Transfer then

the measurement data from the harvester to the
calliper.
2. Make then a comparative measurement using the
calliper and transfer this data back to the harvester’s
database (menu 6-1).
3. The result is evaluated in menu 6-1 and automatic
calibration can be carried out on the basis of this
where necessary.
You can also feed data to the control measurement

database manually by “displayed-measured” system in
“Manual data window (menu 6-1).

Basic calibration has been made for the new machine on

the factory. Anyway it is reasonable to do the control
measurement right a way in the conditions of the first site.
When necessary, basic calibration is carried out when

replacing harvester head components or after repair work.
Length calibration is done by measured – displayed –
system in menu 6-1 ”Manual data” window. For the basic
calibration of the diameter can be used in menu 6-3:
• Old calibration file ”Load calibration values (*.mac)”

• default values of harvester head type ”Load default
values (*.mac)”
• Creating a new basic curve on the basis of the three
measuring points, “Base curve” – “Create new curve”
PY10832,61 –22–01SEP06–2/2
Length measurement
Length measurement in the system is based on the length

sensor reporting two pulse trains. After that these pulse
trains are processed by the system using a value which
converts the pulse trains to a length value into
centimeters.
Length calibration changes this value, meaning that the

next time the system converts the successive pulses, it
will interpret these as a different length. Length calibration
can be done by each tree specie. In addition it can be
done also for the butt log.
–UN–06OCT05
The length calibration affects directly to the result of the
volume calculation. Calibrating is done in menu 6-1 with
“Displayed-measured” method.
T215857
You can also add your own selections in the ”Calibration
suggestion” column, when also those appears in the
wizard and they can be calibrated.
JK11466,62 –22–09DEC05–1/1
081-2 102506
PN=87
Diameter measurement
The diameter measurement on the system is based on

the diameter sensors reporting two electrical voltages. The
system then processes these using a number of
adjustable values which convert the voltage to a diameter
in millimeters. The system has 22 different calibration
points which are distributed across all diameters. The
“Base curve” is formed on the basis of these calibrating
points (menu 6-3).
When calibrating a diameter, one or more of the

calibration points will be changed. This means that the
next time the system converts a voltage which comes
–UN–28AUG06
within the amended area, to another diameter.
If the volumes measured by the machine for a diameter

area are too large, the graph must be lowered, in other
T215862
words the diameters for the calibration points in the area
in question must be reduced. The calibration results in a
graph should always be quite line rising evenly.
Changing diameter calibration points in menu 6-1 will

affect volume calculation directly. Automatic calibration
which is carried out on the basis of measuring database
changes directly the values of the “Base curve”.
Calibration need should be kept under 5 millimeter at one

time by diameter control measurement. Bigger correction
at one time might distort the shape of the diameter curve
and make the calibration more difficult.
Diameter shown in the run mode:
• Actual measurement result in height of the sensors

connected to the delimbing knives when grabbing a
tree.
• Calculated reading from the saw line when felling cut

Table of the database
The data, which is collected to the database, is displayed

by tree specie in a table in menu 6-1. Number of the
latest measured logs (“New”) entered to the database is
displayed as green and the number of older logs (“Prior”)
measured is displayed as blue.
Timbermatic system evaluates the measuring results

and suggests a length and/or diameter calibration if
needed. This is displayed as marks on the ”Calibration
suggestion” columns. At the same time, the ”Begin
calibration” button will be activated. By pressing this
button, you can move to the wizard where you can do the
calibration.
The system displays on the wizard a calculated

suggestion for the calibration. You can accept or skip the
suggestion or change the values. You can also add your
own selections in the ”Calibration suggestion” column,
when also, that appears in the wizard and they can be
calibrated. All data that has been used to the calibration
will be removed from the database. When both diameter
and length calibration has been done the numbers of the
stems counted by tree specie will be reset.
In menu 6-3, you can delete if needed the old data before
feeding new measuring data. Single measuring
information cannot be deleted but the system removes
automatically unclear measuring data from the database
when the difference between displayed and measured
data is too big. Difference of the diameter measurement
data can be at the maximum 20mm and difference of the
length measurement data can be at the maximum 30cm.

Manual feeding of the measurement data
You can collect manually the measuring data as follows

by measuring the length of the stems and top diameters
with help of a calibration print. Before calibration, sufficient
measurement results must be collected for the graph in
order to get reliable results. Carry out in every work shift
the control measurement for example to five middle sized
stems, which you can use as a base for the calibration
every work.
The system creates similar KTR file from the manual

calibration data as it does with electrical caliper collected
data. The system creates the file to C:/Timbermatic
Files/ktr folder. If you save several stems to the file, the
system takes all logs from machine measured database. If
you measure only one log, the system gives only this
value to the measured side of the database table and all
other values are zeroes. This way you can see which
stems and logs were in the window and which stems was
measured.
1. As you have completed the processing the stem or

stems that you have selected to the control
measurement write down the number of required stems
on the “Manual calibration list”. See menu 3, Print
(section 113)
2. Measure the length (rounding down to the nearest
whole cm) and make a note of the measurement
against the corresponding length in the “Manual
calibration list” against “Length / Measured”.
3. Measure the top diameter of a log crosswise on the
bark. Also check that there is no smaller diameter, in
the form of a waist or similar feature, closer to the
butt-end of the log. In that case, this would mean that
the narrowest diameter would be recorded, since the
system only measures decreasing diameters. Note
down the measured diameters for each log at the
corresponding diameter on the “Manual calibration list”
under “Manual 1” and “Manual 2”. Calculate the
average diameter and enter this under “Average”.
4. Open Manual data window and enter the number of
the logs and click ”Get stem data” button. Copy the
measured values from a print and click ”Save” button.

STM stem files. In this menu, you can activate a function
that pick occasionally control stems and saves a STM file
of them. Then they are sent to the calliper. The random
sample is taken as a control stem by chosen intervals.
The first control stem will be taken in the beginning of the

site between stems 50 and 150. If the chosen stem
interval is, for example 200 then the system will pick
occasionally one stem for a control stem among the
following 200 stems. Among the following 200 stems, the
system will pick again one control stem and so on. The

parenthesis shows stem count in that KTR file. A color of
the dotted line changes as the site is changed.
The dashed line shows the variation limit where the

machine should stay. Beneath this is a date when the

Harvester head settings
General
The parameters are individual to each machine and

harvester head, so that one machine may not function as
well at some parameters as another would. However, the
differences between machines are extremely marginal, so
that the parameters from one machine should be able to
function well on another with only a few very minor
adjustments.
Settings and auto modes can also be saved by operator

according to their preferences. As you get used to the
machine it is worth adjusting these settings so that the
machine can be operated using as few buttons as
possible because that can increase productivity and job
satisfaction.
The harvester head settings in menus 7 and 8 can be

saved as a MAS file.
The basic unit for parameter values based on time is 0,01

seconds.
Each parameter has so called default value. These default

values comes with the system and they have been tested
so that every harvester head will work satisfactorily.
However keep in mind that working conditions may
require fine tuning for some parameters for better results.

Feeding (menu 7)
Feeding (menu 7-1)
Feeding
• Braking
The feed braking must be set according to the number
of branches on the stem. The delimbing result can be
improved for stems with thick branches when the
braking is fast. However, this might cause stems that
are easy to delimb to go past the cut window. On the
other hand, if the braking is too soft, the feeding speed
can decrease too much before reaching the cut window.
This hampers the delimbing of thick branched stems,
the feeding may stop before the cut window is reached.
–UN–16AUG06
The feeding is normally stopped automatically at the
front edge of the cut window in the direction of feed.
The cut window is specified in the bucking file using the
administrative program.
T217782
• Acceleration
During acceleration the feeding control current
increases until the maximum current is achieved. This
determines how quickly the control current increases in
relation to the acceleration distance. Increasing this
value results in reaching the maximum current faster.
• Max current
This parameter value determines the maximum control
current of the feed valve spool on the forward /
backward feed and is directly proportional to the feeding
speed.
Normally, the maximum current is set at its default
value, in which case the feeding control valve should be
able to open fully.
If the parameter is set at a value that is too low, the
feed will not be able to manage the biggest trees. If the
feeding speed is restricted by means of this parameter,
the valve will restrict the flow of oil. In hot conditions,
this may lead to overheating of the hydraulic oil.
• Approach current
The “Approach current” value is used in the final stage
of feeding to compensate for the feeding speed of
different sized stems before the cut window.
General
• Pre-delimbing length
092-1 102506
PN=105
Feeding (menu 7)
In order to make feeding start-up easier after a

crosscut, you can activate automatic pre-delimbing. See
section 034, Control keypads, functions in run mode.
This parameter sets the pre-delimbing length. In the
case of forest with a normal density of branches, it is
recommended that the value be within the range of
20...40 cm. With a high density of branches the value
can be 40...80 cm.
• Constant pressure after feeding
After feeding, or sawing, the constant pressure of the
hydraulics will be kept for the time set for this
parameter. After the constant pressure time has
expired, when you operate the boom, the hydraulic
system of the machine will be load-sensing.
If the value is over 250 there is continuous constant
pressure in the system.
• Automatic tilt lock
”Automatic tilt lock” option locks the tilt during feeding,
when the stem diameter is under 160 mm. Then tilt can
be released to floating by pressing “tilt down” button.
This function is off as a default and tilt is floating during
the feeding.
• Stop feeding by head close button
You can choose which one of the two possible functions
activates when you press the head close button; high
pressure to feed rollers or stop feeding in head close
button while feeding.

Branch rammer
When the "Slip guard time while feeding" informs about

the stem has got stuck, the branch rammer function of the
feeding reverses and tries to move forward again, past the
point it got stuck at. The branch rammer automatically
makes three attempts at the most to get past this point. If
the third attempt fails, the feeding stops to indicate that it
is stuck. After that, the feeding must be driven manually
past that point.
The function alternatives of the branch rammer contain

operating in both feeding directions, only while forward
feeding, or not operating at all. When the branch rammer
is not active, the automatic control switches to manual as
soon as the feeding gets stuck.
• Slip guard time while feeding

The sensitivity of the branch rammer is set by means of
this parameter so, that the harvester head cannot
damage the stem by grinding it, when the feeding gets
stuck for example at a dense bundle of branches or at a
bend on the stem.
This parameter will determine how long the feed rollers
may continue to rotate without the system recording any
pulses from the length measurement sensor.
When the waiting time has finished, the run mode
display shows a symbol (1) and depending on the
previously described settings, the Branch rammer is
engaged or the feeding stops.

• Max pressure
This determines the maximum possible pressure for
delimbing knives; the real feeding time pressure will
always be limited to this value at maximum. On the
graph this maximum pressure will be illustrated by a
dashed line. If the delimbing knives pressure curve
during feeding setting exceeds this limit the real
pressure value will be limited to maximum pressure.
Maximum pressure, which is used with high pressure
pulses and with head close button is adjusted with “DK
pressure maximum current” setting values. Generally
maximum pressure is not used during feeding. Not even
with thickest stems.
• Lower DK pressure in relation to upper DK pressure
Using this parameter, you have the option of setting the
lower knife pressure to be higher or lower than the knife
pressure of the upper delimbing knives. The value is set
in terms of % of the actual value of the upper delimbing
knives.
• Upper DK max. pressure
• Lower DK max. pressure
Where required you can limit the maximum pressure of
the upper and lower delimbing knives separately.
• DK high pressure interval
This parameter indicates the interval length between
pressure pulses. If the time for this parameter is set too
short, feeding will be difficult.
• DK high pressure pulse length
This parameter indicates how long each pressure pulse
should last. If you wish to disconnect pressure pulsing,
you must set the value of this parameter to zero.
• DK min. pressure current
DK min. pressure current is shown on the graph lowest
pressure point on the right on the harvester heads
which have mechanical minimum pressure valve. Before
setting the minimum pressure you must find the
parameter value which corresponds to the mechanical
minimum pressure of the proportional valve. See menu
7-3, Delimbing knives (section 092).
Harvester heads which do not have a mechanical
minimum adjustment valve (E.g. H742 and H752) ,
minimum pressure is adjusted directly by this parameter
value for the upper delimbing knives. Subsequently the
grip of the lower delimbing knives is adjusted where
required using the parameter “Lower DK pressure in
relation to upper DK”. See the pressure settings and
more detailed instructions in the harvester head manual.

Opening pulses
Delimbing knives
NOTE: If the opening time is too long, there is a risk of

the stem breaking loose from the harvester head’s
grip.
The opening pulse is used to reduce the pressure of the

delimbing knives to make it easier for the stem to start
moving when starting feeding. An opening time and
distance are set for the opening pulses.
• Opening time fwd
–UN–14SEP06
The delimbing knives are opened for the time set here
when forward feeding starts. They will remain in the
position reached in the time set until the end of the
opening pulse. After the opening pulse they will return
T217900
to normal pressure.
• Opening time bwd
This is the same as opening time forward but operates
when backward feeding starts.
This also compensates for the increase in diameter
which is unavoidable when reversing on a normal stem.
The same time is used for pulse opening the delimbing
knives continuously during reversing. The interval of
pulse opening is determined by the “Pulse period feed
backwards” parameter.
• Opening distance
This parameter defines the length of the opening pulse,
i.e. the distance for which the pressure of the delimbing
knives has been reduced. This is used in conjunction
with opening pulses in both forward and backward
feeding.
If the opening distance is very short, it can reduce the
opening time that has been preset to a longer time.
• Opening pulses
Min time between pulses
This parameter defines the shortest time between the
pulse openings when changing the direction of feeding.
E.g.
When the stem gets stuck, the feeding reverses and
aims forward again. If you have a long time (e.g. 60)
between the pulse openings, the stem will not slip out of
the harvester head. However, with a short time (e.g. 2)
the stem may slip out of the harvester head.
• Pulse period feed backwards
Pulse openings for the delimbing knives compensate for
the increasing diameter at reverse feed. This parameter
sets the time between the pulse openings and works
with the parameter “Opening time bwd”.

Basic stem grabbing setting for feed rollers and

delimbing knives
1. Finding the break point
NOTE: The settings must be checked and adjusted in the
–UN–03NOV05
test mode to ensure that the harvester head
functions cannot move!
This must only be done for harvester heads with
T216931
mechanically adjustable minimum pressure valves.
Before setting the minimum pressure you must find the
parameter value which corresponds to the mechanical
minimum pressure of the proportional valve. This
means if you set the parameter higher than this the
pressure will increase but setting the value lower will
not decrease the pressure.
The following instructions for finding the break point
can be used for both the feed rollers and delimbing
knives.
a. Connect a 25 MPa manometer to the measuring
point (Grabbing pressure of feed rollers or Grabbing
pressure of upper / lower delimbing knives) on the
harvester head.
b. Set the diameter for the settings test to 90 mm to
ensure that the pressure increase steps do not have
an effect.
Set the minimum grabbing pressure parameter at a
low reading (such as 20), and when delimbing
knives are tested, the pressure ratio of the knives at
100 to make sure that they do not affect the
pressure.
c. Start test. The test is activated by using the feed
forward button (1). Check the pressure reading on
the pressure gauge. Write down the reading on a
piece of paper. This reading is the mechanically set
minimum pressure. Stop test.

2. Setting the values

Lower the “FR pressing min. current” value 10 % from
the break point. Then set the “FR pressure increase”
parameter to a value where the stem stays firmly in the
harvester head at all diameters without the feed
becoming difficult.
Lower the “DK min. pressure current” value 10 % from
the break point. Then set the “DK pressure increase”
parameter to a value where the stem stays firmly in the
harvester head at all diameters without the delimbing
knives slowing the feed too much.

• FR closing delay
When grabbing a tree this parameter provides you with
the option to close the knives “proportionally” without
the feed rollers closing.
The knives can be pulse-closed by “pumping” the button
of the right-hand boom control lever.
If you press the button longer than the time set for this
parameter, the harvester head will close.
If this time is set at too low a value, the delimbing
knives and feed rollers will close fully even with brief
pressure on the button.
If you are unaccustomed to the system, it may be
–UN–16AUG06
necessary to increase the parameter equivalent to a
somewhat longer time at the beginning and gradually
reduce it.
• Start level lower DK
T217787
You can determine with these parameters how deep
you have to press the head open / close button to open
/ close the delimbing knives.
If you set both parameters to equal values the upper
knives move in parallel with the lower knives. When the
parameter has a low value the delimbing knives react
sooner when the button is pressed.
If you set the value for the lower knives higher than the
value for the upper knives, then you can open (or close)
the upper knives only where necessary by pressing the
button slightly. If you press the button further, then both
pairs of delimbing knives will move.
• Start level upper DK
• DK max. closing current
• DK min. closing current
When you use a harvester head with proportional
hydraulic valves (only available as optional equipment,
e.g. on the 746B, 762B and 743), these parameters will
limit the maximum and minimum control currents and
speed of the knives.
You will get the “DK max. closing current” when the
button is activated at maximum. The “DK min. closing
current” sets the start current when the button is
pressed just over the dead zone.
If a harvester head is not equipped with a proportional
valve, the “DK max. closing current” value has to be
2000 and the “DK min. closing current” value has to be
1000.

• Rotator min. control level

During feeding, the rotator will automatically enter the
floating position in order to avoid extra strain on the
harvester head and the rotator. The floating position on
the rotator is briefly interrupted while assorting etc.
This parameter will provide you with the option of
setting the dead band you want for the boom control
lever so that it does not accidentally break out of the
floating position.
If you increase the value, you will have to pull the
control lever further before the rotator moves. If you
lower the value, the rotator will move earlier, in other
words with less lever movement.
If you set the parameter at 1000, this means that the
function will be completely switched off and the floating
position on the rotator can not be interrupted.
• Rotator max. current
• Rotator min. current
The “Rotator max. / min. current” parameters are only
used when the rotator valve is controlled by the HHM.
The maximum value lets you set what the maximum
speed of the rotator will be at the extreme position of
the control lever.
The minimum value lets you set what the speed of the
rotator will be with the control lever nudged slightly.

CAUTION: The automatic feed cannot be

stopped normally by all the feed buttons when
the “slow feed” feature is in use.
–UN–03NOV05
These settings can be used to feed the stem manually
at a slow speed whenever necessary. A control current
lower than the normal feed settings is given here, to
enable the stem to continue moving.
T216933
If the feature is not in use, all the feed buttons function
normally. The “Left feeding buttons” option means that
the feed buttons of the left-hand side keypad is used to
control the feed at low speeds, whereas the feed
buttons of the right-hand side keypad function normally.
The “Right feeding buttons” option works in the opposite
way.
When the “slow feed” button is pressed during an
automatic feed, it does not stop but merely slows down
to the feed speed set here. The feed speed returns to
normal when the button is released. If cutting window is
reached during a slow feed, the feed stops.
• Reverse creep feed current
You can set a suitable speed for the reverse creep feed
with this parameter.
After having grabbed a tree, there is an option to
reverse the harvester head, at decreased speed, down
towards the butt end in order to get as low a stump as
possible. This speed also can be used if the saw home
position sensor does not give a signal.
E.g.
If the saw bar has become lodged behind the stem after
the felling cut it can be released by briefly reversing the
feed.

Harvester head tilt up
Normally when a tree is finished the harvester head is

opened fully and tilted up.
The harvester head can always be opened fully by

pressing the head open button once for as long as
required. If needed, the following settings can be used to
limit the opening with a short press on the head open
button.
• Auto raise level
–UN–16AUG06
There are three stages to the harvester head tilt up:
– Level 0: The harvester head tilt can be raised using
the (1) button. The tilt control is not connected to the
head open button.
T217788
– Level 1: When opening the harvester head, the tilt is
only raised if the head open button is pressed for
longer than “Autoraise delay”. This is useful if you
have to fell trees and pick up stems from the ground.
– Level 2: The harvester head tilt is automatic and is
raised every time the head open button is pressed.
• Auto raise delay
This parameter is used on levels 1 and 2. When you
press the head open button after ending a tree, the
–UN–03NOV05
harvester head waits for this delay before rising to
vertical.
• DK open time
Here you can limit the time the delimbing knives open
T216934
when the harvester head is opened. The delimbing
knives open completely if you press the head open
button longer than this set time. When the open time
has been set sufficiently long, the knives always open
completely.
• FR open time
Particularly when thinning it can be useful to limit the
opening of the feed rollers in the auto raise. This can be
done using this parameter.
If the time setting is as long or longer than the “DK
open time” or if you press the head open button for
longer than the set time, the feed rollers will open
completely.
This parameter sets also time for constant pressure.

Feeding (menu 7)
NOTE: When you have limited the opening of the rollers

using this parameter, check first that the length
measuring wheel has time to reach the fully
retracted position in the auto raise. This must be
checked with the Tj 755B and 758 harvester
heads in particular to avoid damage to the
measuring wheel.
Default species
If some default species is activated and the automatic

level of the feeding is 2 or 3, the feeding can be started
after making a felling cut directly by pressing:
• length buttons
• grade buttons
• (+/-) buttons.
By using the species buttons, you can select another tree

species and on the automatic level 3 start the feeding as
usual.
If you select "Previous stem", the tree species remains the

same, unless it is changed by means of species buttons.
After a bucking file has been changed to another, the
default species must be checked as necessary. If the
system does not show a tree species when a new stem is
started, the selection must be made with species buttons.
The feed buttons function as usual, irrespective of the

default species setting.
If the tree species is selected before the felling cut is

made, the optimization will be able to make its
calculations more quickly at the start of a stem.

Bunch handling
The bunch handling operation is used to allow the option

of processing several thin stems at the same time. By
pressing the (1) button before a felling cut, the harvester
head will remain tilted up after the felling cut.
–UN–03NOV05
When you want to get hold of a second stem, open the
delimbing knives using the head open button. When this is
released, the two times given below will affect the
T216935

When you want the harvester head to tilt down, you have
to press the (2) button.
• Bunch handling
Check this setting if you want to use the bunch handling
operation.
When the bunch handling operation is activated, the
diameter measurement can register the increasing
diameter after a felling cut until the feeding is started.
The bunch handled production is specified in the
production files separately from normal production.
• FR open delay
When the head open button is released, the time will
start to count down, corresponding with this parameter.
When the time has expired, the feed rollers will begin to
open.
• FR open duration
When the feed rollers begin to open, they open for the
time set by this parameter. At the same time the
delimbing knives will push the second tree in between
the feed rollers.
When the “FR open duration” time is up, the feed rollers
will close with both stems in the feeder track.
• Multi-tree-handling clamps
Check this box if the harvester head (e.g. Tj 745) is
equipped with optional multi-tree-handling clamps.

Adjustment of saw depth
There are two sensors which both report a pulse train

when the saw bar is moving. The pulse trains will then be
converted into the sawn diameter. The sensors control the
saw in saw auto modes 1...3. For adjustment, see menu
8-1, Checking and adjusting the saw depth (section 093).
• Start point
This parameter (A) adjusts the sawing depth (S) for the
smallest diameters (50...100 mm) and moves the saw
control curve vertically. Adjustment of the sawing depth
–UN–16AUG06
is begun from this parameter because this affects the
through-sawing at all diameters.

• Saw depth adjustment table

You can adjust the shape of the saw control curve and
fine-tune the through-sawing for various diameter
ranges with these parameters (C). Diameter ranges (D)
1...8 are harvester head specific (e.g. 80, 160, 240,
320, 400, 480, 560, 640). Values (C) are 100 as default
and then the graph is straight line.
• Buttress %
Using this parameter, you can compensate for root
swellings so that in felling cuts the saw is fed this
percentage over the calculated diameter. This is set by
species and works only for felling cuts.
If needed, the species must be selected before the
felling cut in order for the species settings to function
properly.
E.g.
If the value is 107, the saw will continue sawing 7%
longer than the diameter which was calculated.
Saw control
Constant pressure is used during sawing if “High pressure

while sawing” is selected in menu 0-5 if the work pump is
mechanically adjusted.
In the machines which have elactrically controlled work

pump constant pressure for saw is set in TMC.
A factory set lower control current of constant pressure is

used for sawing stems of less than 150 mm in diameter,
in order to prevent the saw motor from running at too high
speed.
• Saw bar feed delay in fell cut

• Saw bar feed delay in cross cut
These settings are used to set delay on the saw bar
feed to allow the saw motor to reach full speed before
the saw bar begins to feed out. A longer delay for saw
bar feeding is needed in felling cuts if the area’s trees
have wide butt ends. A short delay will prevent the saw
motor from running at too high speed.
This can be used on harvester heads fitted with a
separate saw bar control valve.
• Max. dia. tilt lock at sawing
093-2 102506
PN=132
Sawing (menu 8)
If the harvester head is fitted with a separate float mode

valve for the tilt function, you have the option of locking
the tilt function during cross-cutting. This reduces the
risk of the wood splitting during cutting.
This parameter governs the maximum diameter for
which tilt locking will remain activated. If you do not
want to use this function, set the parameter to 10, which
is the minimum value.
• Saw bar feed pressure
This parameter is used if the harvester head is fitted
with a proportional saw bar control valve. This sets the
desired pressure for the saw bar feed.
This parameter has no effect if the FlashCut saw control
is in use. For saw control options, please see menu 0-5,

These parameters can only be accessed if the machine

the harvester head contains proportional control valves of
saw bar and saw motor and a saw motor rotation speed
sensor. FlashCut setting activation: see menu 0-5,
Harvester head (section 112).
FlashCut saw control is only used in crosscutting. After a

felling cut, 30 cm of the stem must be fed before the
FlashCut saw control becomes available.
The FlashCut saw control is aimed at ensuring the fastest
–UN–16AUG06
possible cutting speed, i.e. the optimum saw bar pressure
in ratio to the saw motor power.
The cutting speed must be optimal for the purpose of
T217790
cutting large stems, to prevent splinters. The saw motor
has a pre-defined optimal end speed, which is achieved
by increasing pressure of the saw bar feed.
For this reason, the saw settings are tested on large

stems. The setting is performed by altering the saw bar
pressure. The desired final speed is achieved by a series
of test cuttings.
The available sawing power, the saw chain properties and

various facts affecting the components’ life span and
safety, all help determine the final cutting speed.
• Pressure in felling cut

Felling cut does not use the saw’s rotation speed data.
Instead, the saw bar feed is controled by this
parameter.
• End saw speed (rpm)
Too low end speed makes the sawing heavy and too
high end speed slows down the saw bar feeding.
This table contains the possible sprocet teeth number
and the motor’s recommended rotation speeds (end
speed). The saw chain pitch is 0,404".

• Start pressure in cutting

This gives the saw bar a starting pressure. The great
majority of saw chain damage occurs on first contact
with the tree. Therefore, the starting pressure should be
as light as possible.
This setting also affects the accuracy of targeting the
color in saw bar marking. A low starting pressure slows
down the saw bar movement and requires a longer
color delay time.
If the system does not receive rotation speed data in
the case of error situations, the saw bar pressure does
not increase from the starting pressure.
• Amplification factor
This value sets the speed, with which the saw bar
pressure is increased from the starting pressure.
The given value can be as high as possible, as long as
the saw motor rotation speed remains above the end
speed mentioned earlier even when cutting large stems.
The saw motor rotation speed during crosscuts and the
success of the settings can be tested in 9-6 menu.
“Amplification factor” needs to be set for large stems.
Therefore, the tested stems need to be at least 30 cm
in diameter.
The setting is intended to ensure that the rotation speed
approaches minimum towards the end of sawing.

Checking and adjusting the saw depth
1. Check and (if necessary) calibrate the diameter

measurement.
2. Set the saw and feeding auto modes to level 1.
3. Check the through-sawing on small diameters (50...100

mm). Make several cuts. The saw bar has to cut
through about 2...5 cm more than the diameter (about
half the saw bar width).
Adjust using the “Start point” parameter. If the saw

does not cut through properly, increase the value of
the parameter. If it cuts too far, decrease the value.
4. Check the through-sawing on larger diameters

(200...400 mm). Now make a comparable adjustment
with the “Cutting calibration” parameter. If the saw
does not cut through properly , increase the value.
5. If needed, you can now fine tune the saw depth at

different diameters using the “Saw depth adjustment
table” parameters. E.g. if the saw cuts too far at a
diameter of 240 mm, the value for this diameter range
should be decreased.
6. Now you can adjust the saw depth for felling cuts using
the “Buttress %” parameter. If the saw cuts too far,
decrease the value. If the saw cuts too little, then
increase the value.
It is better that the saw bar cuts through slightly too far
than too little.

Adjusting the color marking
• Color delay time

– Nozzle color marking A
When “Nozzle” color marking is used, this parameter
sets an appropriate delay for the color marking
–UN–26JUN02
function, which ensures that the marking color hits
the crosscutting surface of the top of a falling log.
The interval between cutting and color spraying starts B
when the saw signal disappears, i.e. when the saw
T156634
bar turns back after crosscutting. The interval
increases when the value is increased.
Should the marking color hit the upper edge of the
cross-cutting surface, the spraying function is late A—Spraying premature, increase interval
adjustment
and the interval period between cutting and color
B—Spraying late, decrease interval adjustment
spraying must be shortened, in other words the value
must be decreased (fig.).
NOTE: First make sure that the cross-cutting depth has

been correctly adjusted. If the saw bar goes too
far, the log will hit the ground before the color is
sprayed and the color will hit the saw bar. For
more details see the instructions for saw
adjustment, section 093 (Saw (menu 8-1)).

time starts when the saw bar leaves the home 1
position sensor. The nozzle (1) sprays the color to
the side of the saw bar (2), from where the color
marking travels to the cross cutting surface of the log
(3). If the color is sprayed too early or too late, it hits
the butt end of the remaining stem.
• Color spray time
The mark created can be enlarged by prolonging the
“Color spray time”, which also makes it easier to score
a good hit with the color, but this will increase color
consumption.

When using separate nozzle spraying this parameter
will allow you to delay spraying after a felling cut, thus

spray is discharged.
When using saw bar spraying this adjustment will delay

the sawing process, making sure that the fluid is spread
over the saw bar.
• Stump treatment time
If the duration of fluid spraying is adjusted to zero, there
is no stump treatment for this species.
NOTE: When using the stump treatment function the

species must be defined before a felling cut.
Otherwise the system will assume that the current
tree species is the same as the one for the
previous log and, as a result, the system will
employ the previous setting also for this stump
treatment.
Selecting the species again after a felling cut will start

an ordinary feeding process in feed auto modes 2 or 3.

Automatic cuts (menu 8-4)
”Automatic cuts” can be used in the saw’s automatic

modes 2 and 3. See menu 7-1, Feeding, Saw control
levels (section 092). An automatic cut can only be used
for crosscuts. Automatic cuts are activated in this menu.
The activation must be set also according to species and
assortments. There are four automatic cut groups for
assortments. You can enter an assortment in a chosen
automatic cut group, or leave it without automatic cuts.
Each group have a desired delay time for the saw to wait
in the cut window prior to automatic sawing. A second row
delay time is set in situations, where assortment change is
made to an assortment in another automatic cut group. In
–UN–27SEP06

• High pressure while sawing
This must be checked if you want constant pressure in
the hydraulic system when sawing if the work pump is
mechanically adjusted.
T217795
In the machines which have elactrically controlled work
pump constant pressure for saw is set in TMC.
A factory set lower control current of constant pressure
is used for sawing stems of less than 150 mm in
diameter, in order to prevent the saw motor from
running at too high speed.
• Saw home sensor min. level
The “saw home position” sensor will sense if the saw
bar is protected within the saw box.
If the sensor does not send a signal, feeding forward is
impossible, and you can only feed backward using
reverse creep feed.
If this value is too low, the system assumes that the
saw is in the home position all the time. However if the
value is too high, the system assumes that the saw is
out all the time. The default value is 150.

Before starting welding work:
• Ensure that the machine is safely parked. Switch off the

engine and HPC07.
• Secure that radio and other devices wired directly from A
batteries are off. That prevents sparking when
disconnecting batteries.
• Switch off the power with the main switch.
• Disconnect the ground wire from the batteries.
• Disconnect the connector (A) of the fire extinguisher
central unit at the under side of the cabin.
• Disconnect following HPC07-CPU and Hub:

is advisable to save backup copies, e.g. on a memory
stick (E drive), so that the data can be restored even if the
hard disk drive has been damaged. Backups created on
the hard disk drive are useful mainly in the event of
operator errors when the data has been accidentally
deleted. Backups are located on the hard disk drive:

When a harvester head is fitted to an excavator
chassis, for example, it is possible, instead of using a
pump and adjustable pressure, to use two constant
pressure pumps (high and low pressure) in parallel to
obtain sufficient pressure for feeding and sawing.
