DistanceControl with 2 sensors or DistanceControl plus with 4 sensors
As an option for the Super-S boom and the Super-L boom, AMAZONE offers the DistanceControl fully-automatic boom guidance system, with 2 sensors, and the DistanceControl plus with 4 sensors for the UX. If the crop height varies greatly, or there are areas with partially lodged corn, the boom could dip into the crop if equipped with only 2 sensors. In this case equipping the boom with four sensors will prevent this. The sensors are electrically connected in parallel and so it is always the sensor that is closest to the target surface that is sensing.
The driver is able to concentrate on correctly applying the plant protection agent, whilst the computer optimises the boom guidance!
