3.3 Wing Sensor Installation

1. The sensor bracket should be oriented forward (ahead of the boom).

2. Mount the sensor brackets onto the boom half way between the tip and center of the

sprayer.

3. Mount the NORAC UC5 ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor

cable through the sensor tube.

3.4 Ultrasonic Sensor Mounting Guidelines

The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor
measurement error.

1. In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (23 cm) or more from the ground (A).

2. The centerline of the acoustic cone should be approximately vertical at normal operating

heights (A).

3. The bottom of the sensor must be at least 9 inches in front of the spray nozzles and boom

structure (B). (This does not apply for the main lift sensor)

4. The bottom of the sensor must be at least 9 inches above the spray nozzles (C).

5. Ensure there are no other obstructions with a 12 inch (23 cm) diameter circle projected

directly below the sensor (D).
