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.

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.
