WEEDSEEKER
OPERATION GUIDE
GENERAL INFORMATION
•
LED lights indicate when the sensor is firing (spraying).
•
Jockey wheel pressure is 20 psi
•
Operating height is 65 to 75 cm above the ground, at 70cm it gives the sensor a
60cm field of view, this is the same width as the nozzle sprays.
•
Don’t leave folded up, 1 day in the sun will damage the sensors
•
Maximum operating speed is 16 to 17 KPH
•
Do not exceed 3 bar operating pressure on the Weedseeker spray line ( the goyen
solenoids are direct acting plunger type )
•
Every 3 to 4 hours check sensors & solenoids by passing a green leaf under the
sensors
•
Changing light conditions will require regular recalibration.
•
When working in variable soil types, calibrate over the lightest coloured soil.
•
Voltage is most important, any change in voltage will effect the sensitivity of the
sensors
•
The recommended sensitivity setting is 4 to 5 in stubble conditions, a lower setting
will cause misfires.
WIRING INFORMATION
The largest wiring harness is 1 long continuous cable to give power to the sensors,
when they see green the valve driver acts as a switch and sends power to the goyen
solenoids & LED lights .
The main harness is wired like Christmas tree lights.
Line controllers:
•
The left hand 2 pin plug is to power up the line controller,direct from the weed-
seeker battery.
•
The right hand side 21 pin deutsch plug is from the in cab control box.
•
The middle 2 plugs are the daisy cables linking each sensor.
