Understanding the Sensor
Assuming the indicator console is switched on and set to
mm
while in the
‘wheels-down’ transport position, and has no light paths broken, the indicator
console will be reading 10mm.
Note. Should any other height reading be shown while in this position, it
indicates that one or more of the beams is obstructed. If this occurs,
inspect the glass windows and the side protective tapered edge shields
(See FIG 15, Page 26) and wipe off the obstructing material with a soft
damp cloth. Should this not rectify the situation, please refer to the trouble
shooting tips at the end of this manual.
Placing an object or hand between the sensor side arms will result in height
readings being displayed on the indicator console. The sensor takes 200
readings a second which are then averaged to update the indicator console
display once per second.
•
When stationary in the pasture measurement position (wheels up),
the indicator console readings can vary if individual blades of grass
are blown across the light beams intermittently.
•
The glass windows should be inspected at the beginning and end of
any period of operation.
Time spent familiarizing one’s self with the sensor operation will aid the
interpretation of display results especially if the glass covering the light beams
becomes dirty.
