Agri Optics Trimble WeedSeeker Operation Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION

LED lights indicate when the sensor is firing (spraying).
•
Jockey wheel pressure is 20 psi
•
Operating height is 65 to 75 cm above the ground, at 70cm it gives the sensor a
•
60cm field of view, this is the same width as the nozzle sprays.
Don't leave folded up, 1 day in the sun will damage the sensors
•
Maximum operating speed is 16 to 17 KPH
•
Do not exceed 3 bar operating pressure on the Weedseeker spray line ( the goyen
•
solenoids are direct acting plunger type )
Every 3 to 4 hours check sensors & solenoids by passing a green leaf under the
•
sensors
Changing light conditions will require regular recalibration.
•
When working in variable soil types, calibrate over the lightest coloured soil.
•
Voltage is most important, any change in voltage will effect the sensitivity of the
•
sensors
The recommended sensitivity setting is 4 to 5 in stubble conditions, a lower setting
•
will cause misfires.
