WEED COVERAGE

Plant rows need to be clearly distinguishable from the weeds by eye. When plant rows are difficult to distinguish
from the weeds, the VSN® camera can have issues recognizing rows. When weeds grow in rows, the VSN®
camera can confuse the weed rows with the actual plant rows. The image below shows row recognition quality as
an example.

INSTALLATION

RECOMMENDATIONS

Raven Industries recommends the following best practices when installing or operating the VSN system for the
first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the VSN system to another machine:
• Verify that the hydraulic system is using fresh oil and that the filters have been recently changed.
• Ensure there are no issues with the hydraulic system (e.g. pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine metal
deposits in the hydraulic hoses, etc.).
• Ensure there are no issues with the steering system (worn bushings, faulty tie rod ends, improperly adjusted
steer components, etc.).
