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2.

Ensuretheboomhassufficienttravelsoitdoesnotcontactthegroundduringthesetests.

Eachsensorhasaserialnumberstampedonthesensorhousing.

5.2. 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(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4:SensorMountingGuidelines

Figure5:BracketMountingGuidelines

5.3. 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folded
totransportposition.Ifpossible,mountthesensorbracketswhiletheboomsarefoldedtoensuretheywill
notcauseinterference.

5.4. WingSensorInstallation
1. Thesensorbracketshouldbeorientedforward(aheadoftheboom).
2. Typically,thebestmountinglocationforthesensorbracketswillbeneartheendoftheboomtips,
approximatelytwofeet(0.6m)fromtheend.
3. Mountthesensorintothesensorbracket.Runthesensorcablethroughholeandbehindthebracket.
Ensurethecableisclearofmovingpartsandwillnotbedamagedduringfolding.
4. Onsomebooms,theadapters(B09)areneededtomountthesensorbrackets.
