What happens when a sensor hits a tree, fence post, or the ground?
It is inevitable that the boom will strike something during the spray season. The ideal approach would be to carry a spare sensor in the cab for emergencies. The sensor can be replaced in 15 minutes by removing two bolts and one or two cable connections. The damaged sensor should be sent to the company/distributor for repair. Frequently, only the housing will need repair, a minimal expense. NTech offers an extended 5 year service program on the sensors. If a sensor is not covered by the initial warranty program, the company will replace it for $500 regardless of failure reason. The RT200 system monitors the sensors for proper operation, if a sensor reports erroneous data, the data is not include in the data used for fertilizer rate control.
