6.4 Wing Sensor Installation
1. The sensor bracket should be oriented forward (ahead of the boom).
2. Typically the best mounting location for the wing sensor brackets will be near the end of
the boom tips, approximately two feet (60cm) from the end.
3. If the sensor bracket needs to be mounted further forward on the boom, use the spacer
bracket (B13) (Figure 8).
4. Mount the 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 control system 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.
