1. GENERAL

1.1. Purpose
The purpose of this document is to familiarize the user with the Logmit M6 driver-assisted
measuring and control system used with harvester heads and base machines from various
manufacturers.
By reading and following these instructions, the user can configure the necessary settings before
using the system. After that, it is possible to work safely and effectively.
It is therefore important to familiarize yourself with and understand the various features of the
Logmit M6 before using it.

NOTE!
Before using the Logmit M6, please also read the operating and safety instructions for your
harvester head, base machine and other accessories.

This manual only covers Logmit M6 product.

It is the responsibility of the driver to understand the impact of the various functionalities,
equipment and accessories to the base machine. The Logmit M6 system defaults are not directly
usable with your devices.
The machine operator is also responsible for maintaining, servicing and recalibrating the system as
required. The operator is always responsible for the result of the work and the accuracy of the
measurements.
Logmit Ab Oy reserves the right to update or change this manual without notice.

1.2. Warnings
The Logmit M6 controls the harvester head, which involves safety risks when working with it. In
addition, the complete setup includes also a base machine with its own risks.
Occupational safety must always be considered so that employees, bystanders and equipment can
be protected accordingly.
Used improperly, the system can cause property damage, personal injury, or even death.
NOTE!
Before using Logmit M6, familiarize yourself with and comply with the occupational safety
laws, regulations and recommendations of your country and region.

Logmit M6 system should only be used for its intended purpose. Any other use is strictly
prohibited.

4 / 36
The system should not be used until you have read the latest Operating and Safety Instructions.

TIP
You can find the latest instructions either in the Logmit application or at www.logmit.fi

The system must be installed by a person who has a sufficient understanding of the complete
setup and the technology used. The instructions in the installation documents provided by Logmit
must be followed. After installation, all equipment should be inspected and tested under safe
conditions before use.
The Logmit M6 system should not be used without connecting to the door or seat switch of the
base machine. Any faults with those must be rectified immediately and the system must not be
used before.
The emergency stop button must always be installed and operational when using the Logmit M6
system. The functionality of this button should be tested regularly before starting work. If a fault is
detected, it must be rectified immediately and the system must not be used before.
Always use caution when performing maintenance or adjustment work on the system. Be aware of
moving parts and the risk of wedging. The harvester head tilt should always be lowered prior to
maintenance work, even when the engine is turned off.
Do not perform any maintenance while the engine is running, if possible. If not, do your best to
minimize hazards, eg by pressing the emergency stop button, remove the saw chain and
disassemble saw bar from the harvester head before starting maintenance work.
NOTE!
Always turn off the engine and other systems of your machine when leaving the cabin.

Take special care with and near hydraulic and electrical systems.

Watch out for moving parts. Set all moving devices to the home position before going near
them.

NOTE!
If the base machine is an excavator, farm tractor or similar, always check the safety of the
cabin. Cabin glass and other structures may not withstand unexpected stresses as well as a
machine originally designed as a forest machine.

The harvester head saw is very efficient. Therefore, always exercise caution when working.
Do not position the harvester head so that the saw bar is facing the cabin or people.

Be aware that if the saw chain breaks, a fragment may come off, which may have as much
kinetic energy as a bullet, so it may cause injury to people or machines near or far.

To change the setting value, press up or down arrow on navigation key.

4.1.5. Braking Distance


The value of this setting determines how many centimeters (cm) before the preselected length /
sawing window the slow feed is switched on. With a shorter braking distance, the harvester head
bypasses the sawing window and removes nearby branches, which helps to set off next stem.

11 / 36
To change the setting value, press up or down arrow on navigation key.

The braking distance and drive calibration settings together affect the success of the accurate feed
to the sawing window.

NOTE!
Different harvester heads work differently. By experimenting, you will find the right value
for your own device.

TIP
See section "4.6. Preselects" for more details about length preselects.

4.1.6. Drive Calibration


Adjust this value to calibrate the appropriate slow feeding speed for the harvester head so that the
sawing window is accurately located.
This value must be specified whether the Propo Drive setting is in "ON" or "OFF" mode. Operating
values vary depending on the valve manufacturer and type, as well as the harvester head and base
machine. Practice has shown that values range from as low as 10 to even 500.
Calibrate the slow feeding speed settings when the hydraulic oil temperature is at normal level and
the engine is running on operating RPMs. The pressure settings of the knives and rollers also affect
how easily the harvester head is able to find the sawing window.
To change the setting value, press up or down arrow on navigation key.
The drive calibration and braking distance settings together affect the success of the accurate feed
to the sawing window.

NOTE!
Different harvester heads work differently. By experimenting, you will find the right value
for your own device.

automatically.
To return to the main menu, press the ESC key once or press it twice to return to the home screen.

17 / 36
NOTE!
Please consider occupational safety in the following measures.

Calibration is performed as follows:


1) Feed the stem about five meters.
2) Saw a small cut.
3) Measure the actual length of the stem in centimeters (cm) with a measuring tape.
4) Adjust the value in the "Cal. value" box by pressing the navigation key up or down so that
the reading in the "Length" box corresponds to the measured length.
5) Repeat steps 1-4 a few times for best accuracy.

Perform the calibration again if the conditions variate.

TIP
By defining the length a little bit shorter than it actually is, you will have a small safety
margin against sawing too short.

NOTE!
Lenght Calibration can be performed only in this window.
In other views sawing will reset the length value on display.

TIP
Save the Lenght Calibration settings for yourself for future reference.

You can write them down or take a picture of the screen, for example, on your mobile
phone.

18 / 36
4.5. Diameter

The purpose of Diameter calibration is to adjust the control system and the harvester head to work
together in the best possible way when it comes to stem diameter.
Use the navigation key to move left or right between settings.
To change the setting value, press the navigation key up or down.
Holding down the function key F1 while pressing the navigation key up adds the number specified
by the function key to the value. Holding down the F1 function key while pressing the Navigation

The value change does not need to be confirmed separately with the OK key, the setting is saved
automatically.
To return to the main menu, press the ESC key once or press it twice to return to the home screen.

4.5.1. Diameter calibration

NOTE!
Please consider occupational safety in the following measures.

Calibration is performed as follows:


1) Measure the actual distance between the tracks / rollers in centimeters (cm) when the
harvester head is fully open and fully closed.
NOTE!
In some harvester heads, the diameter is measured using a delimbing knives, in which case
their distance must be measured in the fully open and closed positions.

19 / 36
2) Use the navigation key to move to “Max” and enter the actual maximum distance between
the tracks / rollers in centimeters (cm) when the harvester head is fully open.
3) Use the navigation key to move to “Min” and enter the actual minimum distance (cm)
between the tracks / rollers when the harvester head is fully closed.
4) Use the navigation key to move to “Set” and press OK.
5) Press F1 + F4 to confirm the change in the basic curve.

The basic diameter calibration is now done. Next, you need to fine-tune the curve.

4.5.2. Fine-tuning the curve

NOTE!
Please consider occupational safety in the following measures.

Fine-tuning is performed as follows:


1) Measure the actual diameter of the stem in millimeters (mm) with a measuring tape from
the cutting point of the harvester head. And note it.
2) Look the Diameter value measured by the harvester head in the "Dia" box on the right side
of the screen.
3) Use the navigation key to find the nearest reading to the "Dia" box's number on the value
scale at the top of the screen. Change that value to match the measured diameter of the
stem.
The value highlighted by the yellow box can be changed. The value in the "Dia" box on the
right side of the screen will change at the same time as you change the value scale.

If the change was significant adjust also values on both sides to make the curve logical.
NOTE!
The new fine-tuning values on the scale / curve are saved automatically.
You should not press on the Set when making fine-tuning.

EXAMPLE
If the measured diameter of the tree is 140 mm, but 130 mm according to the "Dia" value
on the screen, go to the value scale / dot at the top of the screen that is closest to 130.
Then increase the value / move dot upwards by pressing the navigation key up until the
"Dia" value on the right side of the display is 140.
If the change was significant adjust also values on both sides to make the curve logical.

4) Repeat steps 1-3 for several values / points at different points on the curve.

20 / 36
The more points you calibrate, the more accurate the system becomes.
5) Adjust the unmeasured points so that the curve becomes logical, following the trend
between the adjusted points.
6) Press the ESC key to exit the menu.

TIP
Save the Diameter settings for yourself for future reference.

You can write them down or take a picture of the screen, for example, on your mobile
phone.

21 / 36
4.6. Preselects

The purpose with Preselects is to define ten preselected sawing lenghts for your use. The unit of
length is centimeter (cm). Preselects are directly available on the home screen and can be
selected by using button controller.
When holding down the "Feed Forward" button on the controller, the measuring system will feed
the stem by the selected length. The top of the Home Screen turns green when it is reached. Then
the operator can saw it to the desired length which resets the length value on the Home Screen.
To change the setting value:
1) Select which lenght to change by pressing the navigation key to right or left. The box
highlighted with a thicker blue border indicates where the cursor is, that is, what setting
you can change.
2) Edit the value by pressing the navigation key to up or down.
Holding down the function key F1 while pressing the navigation key up increases the value
by the number specified by the function key. Holding down the function while pressing the
navigation key down decreases the value by the number.
New values are saved automatically.
3) Exit menu by pressing ESC key

TIP
The feeding of the stem always stops at the preselected lenght. If you want to saw a free
stem length, set one preselection length to, for example, 999 cm. Using that preselection,
you can manually search for any dimension less than ten meters.

TIP
See section "5. Button Controllers" for more details how to select the Preselect lenght.

22 / 36
4.7. M3 (cubics)

On this window you will see statistics on sawn trees and volumes.
Top row
Stem (pcs) is the total number of stems sawn.
Average volume (l) is the calculated average volume of the all timber harvested. The unit is the liter
(l), which corresponds to a cubic decimeter (dm3).
Total (m3) is the cubic volume of all sawn trees.
Bottom rows
Cubic volume (m3) per sawn tree type.

4.7.1. Resetting Statistics


All counters can be set to zeros at once as follows:
1) Press "RESET" (F1) + F4 to reset values.

4.7.2. Changing the value of the stem counter


One is always added to the value of the stem counter when the "Tilt Up" and "Sawing" buttons are
pressed sequentially. Sometimes that is needed during the maintenance. To have the correct
average volume you need to adjust the stem counter.
The value of the stem counter can be changed as follows:
1) Press the navigation key up to add to the counter or down to subtract from the counter.
The numbers on other counters cannot be changed.
TIP
See section "5. Button Controllers" for more details how to use different functions.

23 / 36
4.8. Service

On Service menu you can set the greasing interval for your harvester head in hours (h) and the
chain oil consumption in minutes (min) to follow up those and to get "Service!" notification on the
Home Screen.
The software version numbers of the display, module A (harvester head) and module B (cabin) can
also be found on the right side of the window.
In addition, the lower bar shows the model of the harvester head in use.
The value change does not need to be confirmed separately with the OK key, the setting is saved
automatically.
To return to the main menu, press the ESC key once or press it twice to return to the home screen.

4.8.1. Greasing Interval Setting and Reset


You can set the greasing interval to suit your harvester head. The unit of time is an hour (h).
The value of the greasing interval can be changed as follows:
1) Move to "Greasing interval (h)" by pressing the navigation key left or right. A yellow box
indicates a value that can be changed.
2) To change the value, press the navigation key up to increase the value or down to decrease
the value.
If the value is set to 10, then after the control system has
been used for 10 hours with the harvester head, you will
receive the red "Service!" notification on the Home Screen.

After greasing the harvester head / loader, return to this


menu, reset the service reminder by using the navigation
key to select the "Greasing interval (h)" setting and press
"RESET" (F1) to receive a new notification after the set time.

24 / 36
4.8.2. Chain Oil Meter Calibration
You can set the Chain Oil consumption meter to suit your harvester head. The unit of time is a
minute (min). When the time runs out you will get the "Service!" notification to the Home Screen.
To calibrate the meter, you need information on the volume of the chain oil tank and the average
oil consumption of your harvester head. If you do not know the guide value, you can find out for
how many minutes of sawing one oil tank lasts.
In practice, the meter tells you how long the "Sawing" button has been held down. In other words
the value decreases from the specified value toward zero when sawing.

NOTE!
Use the chain oil meter as a reference only. Especially during calibration, but also after it,
use other detection tools and methods to monitor the oil level.
If you notice the harvester head behaving as if the chain oil is running out, stop sawing even
if the indicator seems to have time left and check the actual situation. If necessary,
recalibrate the meter.
Use too short time rather than too long.

NOTE!
Please consider occupational safety in the following measures.

One way to determine the amount of time is to do the following:


1) Fill the chain oil tank to the full.
2) Then set "Chain Oil (min)" to 100 and exit the menu to the home screen.
3) Start work.
4) After felling the trees for a suitable time, refill the tank by measuring the amount of filling.
5) View the value of the meter and calculate how many minutes have elapsed from the meter,
ie decreased from 100 minutes. Now calculate the oil consumption (liters per minute) using
the amount of filling and time and how long it will take to empty the entire tank.
6) Now set the calculated number of minutes to "Chain oil (min)" and exit the menu to the
home screen.
7) Observe how well the calculated value corresponds to reality and change the value if
necessary.
There are other ways to find out and they can be used at your own discretion.

Use the navigation key to select the "Chain Oil" value and press “RESET” (F1) to restart countdown
from the specified value. And to remove "Service!" notification from the Home Screen.

4.9. Saw Control

On Saw Control menu you can adjust the settings for through sawing, saw pulse and saw delay.

NOTE!
The diameter calibration must be performed before specifying the saw control settings.
Calibration instructions can be found in section "4.5. Diameter".

If you hold down the “Close Head” button while pressing the “Sawing” button, you will bypass the
Saw Control.

TIP
See section "5. Button Controllers" for more details how to use different functions.

4.9.1. Saw pulses


During sawing, the measuring system receives pulses from the saw bar sensors. That number reads
on the screen "Saw pulse" box.
The first step is to determine the number of pulses from the "Saw home" position to the saw bar
fully out position. There are several ways to do this, the results of which can vary depending on
how well the pulse sensor is able to measure the movements of a fast moving saw bar.

NOTE!
Please consider occupational safety in the following measures.

26 / 36
Method 1:
1) Turn base machine's engine to idle and keep the power on at the harvester head.
2) Press and hold the “Close Head” and “Sawing” buttons until the saw bar is fully out.
3) Note the number of pulses displayed in the “Saw Pulses” box.
4) Release buttons. And use the navigation key to move to the “Cal. value” box and set the
noted value when the saw bar was fully out.

NOTE!
Please consider occupational safety in the following measures.

Method 2:
1) Turn off the base machine's engine, but keep the power on at the harvester head.
2) Tilt the harvester head down.
3) Manually pull the saw bar out from the "Saw home" position until it is fully out.
4) The number of pulses is now displayed as a value in the “Saw Pulses” box.
5) Use the navigation key to move to the “Cal. value” box and set the same value as "Saw
pulses".
6) Saw bar returns to "Saw home" position automatically when you start the engine.

TIP
If one saw sensor breaks, through-sawing will continue to work after calibrating the saw
pulses amount again. The number of pulses is likely to be halved.
If there are no pulses during sawing, the saw sensors are out of order.

4.9.2. Through Sawing Settings


The through-cut settings are configured as follows:
1) The “Min” value configures sawing of small diameter wood. It is not a unit of
measurement, it is just a value. If the wood is not completely cut through, the value should
be increased. If it is sawed over, the value should be reduced.
To change the setting value, press the navigation key up or down.
Holding down the function key F1 while pressing the navigation key up adds the number
specified by the function key to the value. Holding down the F1 function key while pressing
the Navigation key down decreases the value by the number specified by the function key.

27 / 36
2) The “Mid” value configures sawing of medium diameter wood. If the wood is not
completely cut through, the value should be increase. If it is sawed over, the value should
be reduced.
3) The “Max” value configures sawing of large diameter wood. If the wood is not completely
cut through, the value should be increase. If it is sawed over, the value should be reduced.

This feature only works when the diameter is set and calibrated correctly and the saw sensors A
and/or B are in good condition. The saw sensors work properly when the indicator lights on the
screen change from red to green.

4.9.3. Saw Controll ON/OFF


Saw control is ON by default. If you do not want to use the saw control, you can turn it OFF. While
you want to use the feature, you can turn it back ON.
To switch the saw control ON or OFF, proceed as follows:
1) Use the navigation key to move to the "Saw control" setting.
2) Press the navigation key up or down to change the setting to ON or OFF.

4.9.4. Saw delay Setting


This value defines how many milliseconds (ms) the saw will run before the saw bar leaves its home
position.
If the value is too low, the chain will not get enough speed before it reaches the tree.
To change the Saw delay setting, proceed as follows:
1) Use the navigation key to move to the "Saw delay" setting.
2) Press the navigation key up or down to change the time value.

4.9.5. Saw oil Setting


Saw oil setting is visible only if the measuring system is configured for Logmax harvester head. The
setting replaces Saw delay setting.
The value defines how many milliseconds (ms) there are between saw oil impulses.
To change the Saw oil setting, proceed as follows:
1) Use the navigation key to move to the "Saw oil" setting.
2) Press the navigation key up or down to change the time value.
TIP
Save the Saw Control settings for yourself for future reference.

You can write them down or take a picture of the screen, for example, on your mobile
phone.

5.1. Explanation of Button functions


After the emergency stop, the control system is activated by pressing the "Open Head / Tilt up" or
"Close Head" button, depending on the harvester head in use.
When you press the “Open Head / Tilt up” button quickly, the harvester head opens. When you
hold it down, the harvester head also tilts up.
If you hold down the “Open Head / Tilt up” button while pressing the “Sawing” button, you can
saw the harvester head open without tilting it down.
This function is useful when you want to fell a small tree or shrub, for example, without closing the
harvester head.
To select the tree type, hold down the “Open Head / Tilt up” or “Close Head” button and select the
tree type with the “Feed Forward” or “Feed Backwards” keys. Depending on whether you have
already caught a tree, or are just selecting a tree to fell, you will use either the "Head open" or
"Head closed" button. Tree types are: Spruce, Pine, Birch and Other.
If you hold down the “Close Head” button while pressing the “Sawing” button, you can saw so that
the harvester head does not tilt down. Finally, turn the tree in the desired direction and fell it by
pressing the "Head / Tilt down" button.
This function is therefore useful when you want to fell a tree in a certain direction.
If you hold down the “Close Head” button while pressing the “Sawing” button, you will bypass the
Saw Control.
Pressing the "Open Knives" button opens the knives and remains them open until the button is
released.
Pressing the "Tracks / Rollers Open" button opens the tracks or rollers and remains them open
until the button is released.
"Preselect lenght +" selects next longer preselection length from the specified lengths.
"Preselect lenght -" selects next shorter preselection length from the specified lengths.

TIP
See section "4.6. Preselects" for more details how to define Preselect lenghts.

30 / 36
Press the "Rotator left" button to turn the harvester head to the left.
Press the "Rotator right" button to turn the harvester head to the right.
Holding down the "Feed Forward" button stops the harvester head at the saw window of the
preselected length. If you want to saw a longer stem than the preselection length, you will not be
able to do so without selecting a longer preselection length. If you want to saw a free-length stem,
then set a long enough preselection in advance.
Pressing the "Feed Backward" button reverse feeds the harvester head.

TIP
If your harvester head is a Keto Forst Xtreme with a lower blade, you can choose to use it or
hide it inside the machine when it is not used. This is selected by pressing the “Open
Knives” button for 3 seconds.

6. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

6.1. Requirements
A separate ON / OFF switch must be installed in the electrical system of the base machine for the
Logmit system.
Do not turn on the control system until you have started the base machine's engine.
The Logmit system works in both 24 volt (V) and 12 volt systems.

NOTE!
The Logmit system supplies the same voltage to both the harvester head and the pump
control as its own operating voltage.

Generally, the operating voltage of the harvester heads is 24 volts (V). In some cases, it can be 12
volts.

NOTE!
If the electrical system of the base machine is 12 volts (V) and the harvester head is 24 volts
(V), then a high-quality 12 / 24V DC / DC voltage converter must be used, which supplies 12-
15 amps (A).

The pump control cable supplies control current to the pump / valve, which opens the oil flow to
the harvester head.

NOTE!
If the base machine's electrical system is 12 volts (V), the pump control is also 12 volts (V).
If 24 volts (V) are applied to the control system to make it compatible with the 24 volt
harvester head, the control system will also supply 24 volts to the pump control.
The pump control voltage must therefore be reduced, or the pump must be controlled by a
relay, for example, if 24 volts (V) are applied to the measuring system and the electrical
system of the chassis is 12 volts (V).

The excitation current is activated as soon as you press any button in the controller.

32 / 36
6.2. Emergency Stop

The Emergency Stop button must be positioned in the instrument panel in such a way that it can
be quickly pressed down in an emergency!

Base machine's door / chair switches must also be used and connected to Logmit control system.

If one of those is activated there will be the red "STOP!"


warning on the Home Screen.

After clearing the reason for the emergency stop, the control system is activated by pressing either
"Open Head / Tilt up" or "Close Head" button.

NOTE!
Test safety features regularly.

If you notice a problem, stop using the system immediately and correct the situation before
the next use.

33 / 36
6.3. Connectors in Central Unit
