DICKEY-john Radar Velocity Sensor
There are two possible locations for the DICKEY-
john Radar Velocity sensor. The sprayer is setup
with the radar sensor located in the right side pod
of the sprayer attachment. In this location, the
radar sensor is physically protected.
If an erratic reading results during mature crop
spray applications or from other factors, the radar
sensor can be moved to the higher position in front
of the tank. The mounting bracket for the radar to
be mounted on the front of the tank, is above the
swing cylinder inside the right pod.
The calibration number that is programmed into
the MT-3405 rate controller is 1.60 (refer to the
MT-3405 Operator’s Manual for instructions on
calibrating the controller). This calibration number
does not change with English or Metric units.
WARNING: To avoid possible eye
damage from microwave signals
emitted by the DICKEY-john Radar
sensor, do not look directly into
sensor face.
NOTE: The radar will not operate unless the
ignition key of the windrower is turned to the
“RUN” position.
