Page 18: Ultrasonic Sensor Installation
WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 6 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation 6.1. Ultrasonic Sensor Mounting Guidelines The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor measurement. In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (230 mm) or more from the ground. Ensure that there are no obstructions within a 12 inch (300 mm) diameter circle projected directly below the center of the sensor. The sensor should be approximately vertical at normal operating heights. Figure 14: Bracket Mounting Guidelines Figure 13: Sensor Mounting Guidelines 6.2. Low Profile Bracket Mounting Guidelines Minimize the distance between the bolts to prevent bending the bracket and prevent the bracket from loosening over time. Ensure the bracket is mounted tight against the bottom of the boom, minimizing the distance between the boom structure and the angled flange. A problem can arise if a sensor is not mounted correctly. This may only become apparent once the control system is switched from soil to crop mode. Be careful that the sensor bracket does not collide with any other part of the boom when the boom is ... - Page 19 WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 6.3.
