4Pre‐InstallationChecklist
Thepre‐installchecklistisnecessarytochecktheexistingsprayerfunctionalitybeforetheinstallation.
1. Unfoldthesprayeroveraflat,unobstructedarea(i.e.nopowerlines…etc.).
2. Ensureallboom‐foldoperationsarefunctional(placeacheckmarkinboxesbelow).
3. Bringenginetofield‐operationalRPMandrecordbelow.
4. Recordthetime(seconds)ittakesforafullstrokeforallboomfunctions.Toensurerepeatable
measurements,taketheaverageof3trials.
5. NotallsprayerswillhavethefunctionslistedbelowinFigure3.

Ensuretheboomhassufficienttravelsoitdoesnotcontactthegroundduringthesetests.

6.1. UltrasonicSensorMountingGuidelines
Thefollowingguidelineswillensureoptimalsensorperformanceandpreventsensormeasurement.
1. Initslowestposition,thesensormustbe9inches(230mm)ormorefromtheground.
2. Ensurethattherearenoobstructionswithina12inch(300mm)diametercircleprojecteddirectlybelow
thecenterofthesensor.
3. Thesensorshouldbeapproximatelyverticalatnormaloperatingheights.

Figure13:SensorMountingGuidelines

Figure14:BracketMountingGuidelines
6.2. LowProfileBracketMountingGuidelines
1. Minimizethedistancebetweentheboltstopreventbendingthebracketandpreventthebracketfrom
looseningovertime.
2. Ensurethebracketismountedtightagainstthebottomoftheboom,minimizingthedistancebetween
theboomstructureandtheangledflange.

Aproblemcanariseifasensorisnotmountedcorrectly.Thismayonlybecomeapparentoncethecontrol
systemisswitchedfromsoiltocropmode.
Becarefulthatthesensorbracketdoesnotcollidewithanyotherpartoftheboomwhentheboomis

6.3.1. InstallationofaThreeSensorSystem
WheninstallingtheMAXSensors™(E07),startwiththesmallestserialnumberontheleft‐handsideand
proceedtothelargestserialnumberontheright‐handside.Eachsensorhasaserialnumberstampedonthe
sensorhousing.
ApplyalightcoatingofthesuppliedPermatexAnti‐seizegreasetoallthreadedpartsupon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(0.6m)fromtheend.
3. MounttheMAXsensors(E07)intothesensorbrackets.Runthesensorcablethroughholeinthebackof
thebracket.Ensurethecableisclearofmovingpartsandwillnotbedamagedduringfolding.
