To update the software on your HARVEST TEC 700 Series Automatic Applicator, follow these steps:
1. Identify which controllers you are updating (ICM, IPM, IDM, ISM).
2. Insert a blank USB thumb drive into your computer.
3. Access the "Product Updates" section on the Harvest Tec website (www.harvesttec.com) from the Service and Support Tab.
4. Scroll down to find the 700 Series Software Update links.
5. Click on the link for each applicable module that you identified in step 1 and download/save the update file to the USB thumb drive.
6. Ensure that a good 12V+ power source is available to the applicator. Power the 700 Series system ON by turning the tractor key to the ON position.
7. Wait for the Harvest Tec main screen to load and display on the Virtual Terminal (VT) or Tablet.
8. Press the Service button on the main run screen to navigate to the Services page.
9. Press the Version button to refresh the Services page and view the Serial Number and software version of each attached module. Confirm that all applicable modules display a serial number and software version.
10. Turn the tractor key to the OFF position.
11. Locate the ICM controller in the tractor cab and identify the USB thumb drive port on the side of the ICM. Remove the plastic plug and insert the USB thumb drive into the thumb drive port.
12. Ensure that a good 12V+ power source is available to the applicator. Power the 700 Series system ON by turning the tractor key to the ON position.
13. Wait for the Harvest Tec main screen to load and display on the Virtual Terminal (VT) or Tablet.
14. Press the Service button on the main run screen to navigate to the Services page.
15. Verify that the software version of the ICM has been updated to match the version saved on the USB thumb drive.
16. If there are additional module updates available, they will be indicated on the Service screen by populating the update version column and the Update Button. Press/Select the UPDATE button to push the software update to the specific module. Updating additional modules can take upwards of 5 minutes. If updating across ISO display, a status bar can be seen.
17. Wait until the status bar has completed and you see the "Update Successful" message.
18. If the software updates for specific modules do not load the first time, repeat steps 9-15.
19. Press the Home button on the Services page, then press the Setup button on the main page. Go through the Moisture, Baling Rate, and Application setup screens. Moisture and Application setup screen values will not have changed, but you will need to reset/confirm values in the Baling Rate Setup Screen. Ensure that the Bale Rate sensor is set to AUTOMATIC. Input estimated bale weight, bale time, bale width, bale height. Confirm that the correct bale tie sensor setting is active (HT or ISO), and that the bale scale is active if applicable.
20. Remove the USB thumb drive from the port, replace the plastic plug, and turn the tractor key OFF to complete the software update process.
