Wing Sensor Installation 

1.

 

The sensor bracket should be oriented forward (ahead of the boom). 

2.

 

Typically the best mounting location for the wing sensor brackets will be near the end of 

the boom tips, approximately two feet (60cm) from the end.   

3.

 

Depending on the boom design, some breakaway sections will lift upwards as they break 
back.  If the sensor is mounted to this portion of the boom, the system will force the boom 
downwards towards the ground as the boom folds backwards. 

4.

 

Mount the NORAC ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor cable 
either through hole in the back or through the side cut-out and behind the bracket.  Ensure 
the cable is clear of moving parts and will not be damaged during folding.
