3.2 Height Sensors

 Height sensors use an ultrasonic signal to measure distance to the ground or crop canopy.
 The number of height sensors will vary from a minimum of two to a maximum of six per

system. Three height sensors are normally used.

3.3 Roll Sensors

 Roll sensors are important for measuring boom and sprayer roll dynamics.
 Two roll sensors are normally used for a UC5 Spray Height Control system.
 The mounting position of the roll sensors vary from sprayer to sprayer depending on

boom geometry and suspension.

3.4 Position Sensors

 Position sensors are used to measure boom suspension position and/or cylinder position.
 The function of position sensors may be similar to that of a pair of roll sensors.
 The mounting position of the position sensors vary from sprayer to sprayer depending on

boom geometry and suspension.

3.5 Modules

 Normally there are three modules included: a control module, an input module, and a

valve module.

 Module status is indicated by a LED. Shortly after power-up, the module should present a

solid green light, indicating the module is functioning and ready.
