Norac UC7-BC-RG13 Installation guide

Brand: Norac

Model: UC7-BC-RG13

Type: Installation guide

Norac UC7-BC-RG13 is a boom height control system designed to protect your sprayer boom from damage, improve sprayer efficiency, and ensure chemicals are applied correctly. Using ultrasonic sensors, the system can detect obstacles in the boom's path and automatically adjust the boom height to avoid collisions. The system can also be used to maintain a consistent boom height above the target surface, ensuring accurate chemical application. The UC7-BC-RG13 is easy to install and use, and it can be customized to meet the specific needs of your operation.
