Most of the calibrations are accessed through the CAL, CAL1 and CAL2 modes of the
DCC instrument panel screens. Some of the calibrations are done via tractor terminal.

Always use the newest software versions. If there is an outdated version of the software
in the tractor, update the software. Tractor functions and calibration functions are always
improved on the new software versions. Use specific programming and settings
procedure for downloading the tractor software.

The calibrations should be performed in the following order to make sure that the process
is successful. In the end of the document there is a table of special cases when you only
need to perform a certain calibration.

If you update the tractor s software go through the entire calibration process. Calibrate
the tractor also if you suspect that there is a malfunction in the tractor because of bad
calibration.

 4.2 Speed display calibration

The speed display calibration is performed in CAL mode of the instrument panel control
screen. The calibration calibrates the speed value from the transmissions speed sensor to the
actual ground speed measured by radar. This way the speed display is correct and the
system can calculate i.e. slip percentage correctly. Perform this calibration on a flat surface.

Instructions

1. Start the tractor.

2. Momentarily switch the power shuttle lever from P to N and

back to activate the instrument panel.

3. Press (approx. 15 sec) the screen selector (A) until text CAL
appears on the right -hand display on the instrument panel.
Note! The daily operating hours will be reset after 5 seconds.

4. Select the distance -display from Tractor Terminal in the armrest.

To get to the TT distance display press separately ESC - left arrow
and then OK for 2 seconds.

5. Reset the distance to 0 by pressing 000 + OK.

Make sure that you have enough space for driving the tractor.

6. The needed distance for this calibration is about 150 meters. Select the range A
(tortoise) and start driving at constant speed ~ 5 km/h. Cruise can be used also!

7. Reset the tractor terminal distance counter just before starting the calibration.
Press the screen selector (A) to start the calibration.

8. Text run will appear on the instrument panel display. The calibration distance is 100
meters so observe the distance from the tractor terminal display.

9. Drive ahead and pay attention to the tractor terminal distance display.

10. Stop the calibration by pressing on the screen selector (A), when you have traveled
exactly 100 m according to the terminal distance display. Do not stop or slow down
the speed of the tractor until you have run the 100 m and stopped the calibration.

11. Check theoretical distance from DCC3 and then actual distance by pressing the (A).
Press shortly the selector (A) to save the calibration values and exit the calibration.

If there is an error during the calibration perform the calibration again. Note! If you started the
calibration for example when the distance is 10 m on tractor terminal display then you have to
stop the calibration when 110 m is travelled.

4.5 Rear linkage calibration

This calibration will calibrate the rear linkage position sensor values, position potentiometer
values and the linkage spool valve value. These values are used to optimize the position
control and the active transport control functions.

Instructions

1. Set a weight of at least 200 kg on the rear linkage, to make sure that the linkage lowers
properly. Make sure that there is enough room with the weight for the linkage to reach
the extreme up and down positions.

2. Start the tractor and set the engine rpm to low idle.

3. Set the position potentiometer of rear linkage to position between

4 and 6.

4. Activate the rear linkage by using the AutoControl switch.

Set the armrest AutoControl switch to work -position.

5. Set the draft control knob to P-position.

6. Set the linkage height control knob to maximum position.

7. Set the linkage lowering speed control knob to Hare position.

8. Press the active transport control button 4 times quickly.

The active transport control indicator starts to flash indicating
that the linkage is in the calibration mode.

9. The calibration takes about 1 minute depending on the weight attached and the oil
temperature. The linkage will be lowered and lifted automatically during the calibration.

10. When calibration is complete the indicator light stops flashing and linkage locks
to low position.

Note! The calibration can be stopped at any time by pressing the active transport
control switch or lift/lower switch.
4.6 Front linkage calibration

The tractor terminal makes the calibration automatically every time the tractor is started.
The front linkage should work normally if the calibration is OK. However, if you replace
the position sensor of the front linkage, you may have to reload the tractor terminal
software. Use the EDT to do this if necessary.

4.7 Tractor terminal and Armrest calibrations

After updating or reloading the tractor terminal software the fault code 6315 13 040 might
appear. This is a fault code indicating that the tractor terminal needs to be calibrated.

You can download just the tractor terminal software and parameters or use the package
download. If the package download is used, you need also to do the Armrest (UC1)
calibration after the software downloading.

Instructions for tractor terminal calibration

1. Start the tractor after the software download.

2. Fault code 6315 13 040 appears in tractor terminal or in EDT.

3. Drive faster than 5 km/h in both ranges A and B, to both directions forward
and reverse.

4. Shut down and re-start the tractor.

5. The terminal is now calibrated and the fault code disappears.

Instructions for the Armrest/UC1 calibration

1. Go to the compass view in the tractor terminal by pressing ESC. Then activate the
service mode in the tractor terminal by pressing three (3) times OK and ESC.

2. Go to the joystick calibrations menu on the tractor terminal.

3. Select the joystick to calibrate and press OK.

4. Calibrate the plus and minus positions by gently pushing the control lever against
the detent point and then press sharply the armrest s OK button at the same time.
Finally calibrate the middle position by releasing the control lever and press OK sharply.

5. Make sure that the changed value will be saved after pushing OK. Push the ESC button.

6. Perform the calibration procedure for all hydraulic control levers in the tractor armrest.
After the calibration for all hydraulic control levers is done press the ESC button to exit.
4.8 Front suspension calibration

This calibration saves the upper and lower stop values of the suspended front axle
position sensor. These values are used to determine the position and movement of the
suspended front axle during operation of the tractor.

Instructions

1. Start the tractor and set the engine rpm to low idle.

2. Press the front axle suspension switch to left five (5) times quickly. The suspension
indicator light on the dashboard starts to blink. The calibration is now activated.

3. The tractor will automatically run the axle to extreme upper and lower positions and
save the calibration values. Don t move the tractor until the calibration is completed.

4. The calibration takes about 2 minutes and is complete when the axle reaches the
middle position and the front suspension indicator light in the dashboard stops
blinking.

If the suspended front axle calibration is not successful the front suspension remains in the
calibration mode and does not activate after the lower stop phase. In this case the position
sensor might be faulty or in need of adjustment. Measure the sensor. The signal value from
the sensor should be between 1.2 1.3 V on the low stop and between 3.3 4.2 V on the
upper stop. If needed adjust the position of the sensor and run the calibration again.

4.9 Cab suspension calibration (AutoComfort)

This calibration saves the position sensor values of the suspended cab. The values
are used to determine the position of the cab and adjustment of the suspension
during driving of the tractor.

Instructions

1. Start the tractor and set the engine rpm to low idle.

2. Press the activation side (AUTO) of the cab suspension switch five (5) times quickly.

3. The cab suspension calibration will automatically run the cab to the extreme high
and extreme low positions and save the sensor values.
4. The calibration takes less than 2 minutes and is complete, when the cab returns
to the middle position.
