MOUNT THE BOOM SENSORS

BOOM SENSOR MOUNTING LOCATIONS

Sensor mounting locations vary by boom configuration. If an object enters the sensor's blind range unexpectedly,
a false return to the sensor could occur. To ensure optimal operation of the AutoBoom XRT system and to protect
the sprayer boom, the sensor should be mounted behind the boom structure (if possible), above the lowest
hanging part of the boom.
MOUNT THE BOOM SENSORS
1. The table below provides the approximate mounting locations for various boom widths. The information on
this table is for reference only. If there is interference or other issues with these mounting locations, mount the
sensors as close to these locations as possible.

Boom Width
120'
100'
90'
NOTE: The numbers in the table above are the approximate distance. As a rule, the sensor should be
mounted half way between two spray tips to minimize potential drift interference.
2. Install the radar sensors (P/N 063-0173-962) on the sensor mounting brackets (P/N 107-0235-032) using two 1/
4"-20 x 5/8" Phillips pan head bolts (P/N 311-0050-255) and two 1/4"-20 nylon locking nuts per sensor (P/N
312-4000-164).
NOTE: Install two of the sensors in one orientation and three in the other orientation on the bracket so, when
installed, the sensor connection is facing towards the center of the machine.

The machine must remain stationary and
switched off, with the boom unfolded and
supported, during installation or maintenance.
