NSTALLATION
Mounting the sensor bracket to
the break-away section of the
boom may cause the boom to
drop suddenly as a break-away
occurs. This will occur on break-
away sections which lift as they
break away.
For optimal boom tip protection,
it is recommended that the
sensor be mounted within
approximately two feet (60cm) of
the boom tip.
When installing the UC4+
sensors (E02), start with the
smallest serial number on the left
hand side proceeding to the
largest serial number on the right
hand side (Figure 6).
Avoid mounting sensors in
locations where they may read
from parts of the boom as shown
in Figure 4.
The main lift sensor must not be
located behind the sprayer’s
wheel.

(Sensor reading off boom)
General mounting rules for UC4+
ultrasonic sensors:
a) In its lowest position, the sensor mouth
must be 9 inches or more from the
ground.
b) The bottom of the sensor must be at
least 9 inches in front of the spray
nozzles.
c) The bottom of the sensor must be at
least 9 inches above the spray nozzles.
d) Ensure that there are no obstructions
within a 12-inch diameter circle
projected directly below the center of
the sensor.
e) The sensor should be approximately
vertical at normal operating heights.
