8.2.7 Sensor Alignment
Proper sensor alignment is critical in order for UC4+ performance. The
majority of problems reported by operators in the field are due to improper
sensor mounting.
Wing Sensors
• When the boom is in its lowest position, the sensor mouth must be 22cm
(9 inches) or more above the spray nozzles.
• The bottom of the sensor must be at least 25cm (9 inches) in front of the
nozzles.
• The sensor must be approximately vertical at normal operating heights.
• Ensure that there are no obstructions within a 30cm (12 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 10),
check that the sensor can not read off the bottom part of the boom. This
is most common in CROP mode
