Norac UC4 - Sensor and Rod Alignment; 6.1 Wing Sensors

6 SENSOR AND ROD ALIGNMENT
Proper sensor and rod alignment is critical in order for UC4 performance.
The majority of problems reported by operators in the field are due to
improper rod alignment and sensor mounting.
6.1 WING SENSORS
 When the boom is in its lowest position, the sensor mouth must be nine
inches or more above the spray nozzles.
 The bottom of the sensor must be at least nine inches in front of the
nozzles.
 The sensor must be approximately vertical at normal operating heights.
 Ensure that there are no obstructions within a six-inch diameter circle
projected directly below the sensor.
 When mounting or relocating sensor brackets, ensure they do not
interfere with boom folding operation.
 When mounting to the top part of the boom (as shown in Figure 2),
check that the sensor can not read off the bottom part of the boom.
- This is most common in CROP mode (refer to Section 4.2.3)
