Series 3 flexhead question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Working on adapting a 313 flexhead to a K2.  Got the head mounted and good to go with that side of things.  

My question is, what voltage is seen at the header height 3 spring system on the head?

I think my plan is to build a system from the ground up for it, utilizing what is currently on the head.  So, I want to verify what voltage the head itself is made for.  I am not going to make it for low, medium and high.  Probably just the medium setting.

So I’m not going to use a header height module from a different combine, which is why I don’t know if they run a lower voltage through the header side of things.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

	I've never measured the voltage at the three springs, but was always told is is less than 12 volts to eliminate any spark and the springs and the brass bars last far longer as a lesser voltage.

	That’s what I was suspecting. I figured it would be a long shot for anyone to know, but it’s free to ask as well. I can run a lower voltage to operate the relay, just was trying to verify before I screw up parts on the head, or start a field on fire!
