Measure the vertical distance from the bottom of the nearest spray tip to the bottom of the sensor surface

for each sensor location.
Use the up or down arrows on the Sensor Offsets tab to set the offset value. If the sensor surface is below
2.
the spray tip, set the height offset to a negative value.
Note:
The maximum height offset is 20 inches [50 cm]. On machines with travel-limited booms, the
center sensor height offset may need to be entered as less than the measured value from the
sensor to the ground to ensure the boom cylinders have sufficient pressure during operation.
Ultrasonic sensors will react to the first object that reflects an echo, whether it is the ground or the
crop canopy. For row-crop situations, it may be beneficial to adjust sensor positions to directly over
a row or add additional boom sensors.

Speed. The AutoBoom speed setting adjusts how quickly the boom will move away from an obstacle or
obstruction in the sensor path, and how much the boom could overshoot the target height. The speed value
should be set so that the boom motion is smooth and the machine does not oscillate when the booms react.
The default speed value is 25. Typical speed range is between 22 and 27 for most implements but could be
much higher depending upon the static pressure of the booms, boom geometry, and the AutoBoom
sensitivity value.
To adjust the speed:
Note:
It is recommended to set the AutoBoom sensitivity before adjusting the AutoBoom speed.
Place an obstacle (hand, note pad, etc.) at ground level below one boom sensor.
