Ultrasonic Sensor Mounting Guidelines
The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor
measurement error. These rules should be followed for both the wing sensors and the main
lift (middle) sensor.
1.
In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (23 cm) or more from the ground
(A)
.
2.
The centerline of the acoustic cone should be approximately vertical at normal operating
heights
(A)
.
3.
The bottom of the sensor must be at least 9 inches in front of the spray nozzles and boom
structure
(B)
. (This does not apply for the main lift sensor)
4.
The bottom of the sensor must be at least 9 inches above the spray nozzles
(C)
.
5.
Ensure there are no other obstructions with a 12 inch (23 cm) diameter circle projected
directly below the sensor
(D)
.
