The function of the optical reader is to find the presence of the trunk or 
leaves and give the impulse for the fluid opening. 
The optical reader must be positioned approximately one meter before 
the sprayer nozzles or the oscillating nozzles. 
It must be installed so that its distance from the nozzles can be changed 
in order to open the fluid discharge earlier when needed. 
The maximum reading distance of the photocell is 400 cm. 
The maximum reading can change according to the weather and the 
position of the sun. 
The metal case containing the photocell has two functions: to prevent the 
interference of solar rays as much as possible and to protect the optical 
reader from accidental impacts. 
The photocell works at night as well.
