Better spray job, less drift, less chance of equipment damage, much easier on the operator.
 
The Greentronics RiteHeight® system uses from two to five ultrasonic sensors to measure and control the distance from the sprayer boom to the target.
 
Users find it very easy to operate and straightforward to install. In fact, more than 75% of endusers install their own RiteHeight® systems. Installation is simple because there are just four main items: 1) Console with display and keypad, 2) Junction Box, 3) Sensors, and 4) Cables.
 
RiteHeight® is adaptable and works on any type of new or used trailed, or self-propelled sprayer with electric-over-hydraulic solenoid valves. It works with all common hydraulic designs and requires no additional hydraulics.
 
Once installed, use the TEST menu to check connections. Then move the sprayer to a safe spot outside, unfold the booms, and run the auto SELF CALIBRATION step. This allows the computer to learn your sprayer’s behavior.
 
At spray time set the optimal target height. Choose the operating mode: Bare Ground, Partial Canopy, or Full Canopy. RiteHeight® allows operators to make on-the-go adjustments to target height. The RiteHeight® system is easy to over-ride and constantly monitors for operator input.  Headland Mode allows for quick & safe turns.
 
Greentronics offers optional ISOBUS compatibility to operate RiteHeight® directly from the Universal Terminal screen on many tractor and sprayer displays.
Some users move RiteHeight® sensors from the booms to their Y-Drop systems where correct boom height is necessary to optimize placement of liquid fertilizer in row crops. 
 
Since 2007, Greentronics has taken great pride in offering this high quality product at the most reasonably price on the market. Customer input has driven many improvements over the years and operators with older RiteHeight® systems are advised to contact Greentronics about upgrade options.
