5.4 Wing Sensor Installation
1. The sensor bracket should be oriented forward (ahead of the boom). Ensure the bracket
will not cause excessive torsion by installing it next to a crossbar.
2. Depending on the boom design, some breakaway sections will lift upwards as they break
back. If the sensor is mounted to this portion of the boom, the system will force the boom
downwards towards the ground as the boom folds backwards.
3. Mount the NORAC UC5 ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor
cable through the sensor tube.

A problem can arise if a sensor is not mounted correctly. It is possible for the
sensor to read off of the boom instead of the ground. This may only become
apparent once the controller is switched from soil to crop mode.
Also be careful that the sensor bracket does not collide with any other part of the
boom when the boom is folded to transport position. If possible, mount the sensor
brackets while the booms are folded to ensure they will not cause interference.
