3.2 Height Sensors
Height sensors use an ultrasonic signal to measure distance to the ground or crop canopy.
The number of height sensors will vary from a minimum of two to a maximum of six per
system. Three height sensors are normally used.
3.3 Roll Sensors
Roll sensors are important for measuring boom and sprayer roll dynamics.
Two roll sensors are normally used for a UC5 Spray Height Control system.
The mounting position of the roll sensors vary from sprayer to sprayer depending on
boom geometry and suspension.
3.4 Position Sensors
Position sensors are used to measure boom suspension position and/or cylinder position.
The function of position sensors may be similar to that of a pair of roll sensors.
The mounting position of the position sensors vary from sprayer to sprayer depending on
boom geometry and suspension.
3.5 Modules
Normally there are three modules included: a control module, an input module, and a
valve module.
Module status is indicated by a LED. Shortly after power-up, the module should present a
solid green light, indicating the module is functioning and ready.
