UC4 Sprayer Height Controller
“All year round” Spraying with the flick of a switch!
The
UC4 Sprayer Boom Control system uses ultrasonic sensors mounted on the left,
right and center boom, to automatically maintain a preset height of the
entire boom above the ground or crop.
Fast and Reliable
For farm operators and custom applicators, speed can have a major impact on
profitability.
Manual
operation of a sprayer in uneven field terrain may require reduced operating
speeds for continual boom adjustments. The UC4’s ultrasonic sensors
constantly (40 times per second) measure the distance to the ground. This
information allows the UC4 system to make responsive height adjustments to
allow your booms to automatically follow the contours of the land. The
system is so dependable that it can allow an average speed of over 18mph in
all kinds of uneven terrain.
More Efficient Use of Chemicals
The UC4 System maintains the booms at an entered preset height. Regulating
spray nozzles at the recommended height above ground/crop results in the
optimum spray pattern to disperse chemicals evenly and reduce drift.
Take The Stress Out of Spraying
After many hours of moving your head from side to side checking boom height,
you can feel completely worn out. The Total Control System frees the
operator of the most demanding part of the job. This level of comfort and
control makes the operator’s job more efficient and less stressful.
Spray Day or Night
The UC4 ultrasonic sensors have been compared to “eyes” as they monitor
changes in the field terrain. These ‘sonar’ devices do not depend on light
conditions to measure boom height. Extend working hours well into the night,
and take advantage of low wind conditions to spray in any light condition.
Avoid Boom Damage & Down Time
The UC4 control system takes over responsibility for monitoring field
contours and making the constant boom adjustments. This allows you to keep
your eyes on the job and focused on proper coverage and safety.
Sensor “Smarts”
The UC4 system can be set to read the boom height from the soil surface or
from the top of the crop. The ultrasonic signal is “smart” enough to
distinguish the ground from standing crop or field residue.
Accurate Smooth Spraying
The NORAC UC4 Control System uses the stepless output of proportional valves
to provide a much greater and uniform level of boom control (minimizing boom
rocking motion). Proportional valves enable the UC4 system to operate each
boom independently. Height corrections are smooth, even, and automatic. . .
and so is your spraying.
• Rugged aluminum sensor
design for trouble free use.
• A separate proportional
valve is used for each boom to ensure smooth independent hydraulic control.
