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 near the existing 3-way couplers. The sensor mounting brackets can be installed on
the 45 degree tube using the provided adapter plate.
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).
