Boom Height Control - Norac - Goldacres Crop Cruiser G6 Operator's Manual

Boom Height Control - Norac

Overview
Boom Height Control systems maintain the boom
at a preset height by monitoring field contours and
making responsive boom adjustments. Using data
from either 3 or 5 ultrasonic sensors, the Boom
Height Control systems makes responsive height
adjustments allowing booms to automatically follow
the contours of the land Maintaining spray nozzles at
the recommended spray tip height allows chemical
to be applied using an optimum spray pattern
providing even application and reducing drift.
Boom Height Control reduces the need for the
operator to move their head back and forth to
monitor changes in field terrain, thereby reducing
stress and fatigue. This allows the operator to focus
on machine operation and safety. Manual operation
of a sprayer in uneven field terrain may require
reduced operating speeds for continual boom
adjustments.

Ultrasonic sensor hardware and software is
designed specifically for height control applications.
The ultrasonic signals can distinguish the difference
between the ground and standing crop or field
residue. Boom height is controlled by choosing Soil
Mode (senses the soil surface), Crop Mode (senses
the top of the crop), or Hybrid Mode (technology
that calculates a virtual top of the crop for more
accurate control).
Refer to manufacturer's manual(s) for detailed
information about this system.
