Technical Specifications CAN ICES-3(A)/NMB-3(A) This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
General UC5 System Layout Figure 1 illustrates the general layout of the UC5 system components: Figure 1: General UC5 System Layout The use of dielectric grease is not recommended on any NORAC electrical connections. To ensure all stainless steel hardware does not gall or seize apply a light coating of the supplied Permatex Anti-seize grease (M06) to all threaded parts upon installation.

Pre-Install Checklist The pre-install checklist is necessary to check the existing sprayer functionality before the installation. 1. Unfold the sprayer over a flat, unobstructed area (i.e. no power lines…etc.). 2. Ensure all boom-fold operations are functional (place a check mark in boxes below). 3.
Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly 1. Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 5. Figure 5: Breakaway Bracket Assembly 2. Apply a small amount of grease to the rotating surfaces of the bracket. FRONT Figure 6: Sensor Bracket Mounting...

Ultrasonic Sensor Serial Number Arrangement When installing the UC5 sensors, start with the smallest serial number on the left-hand side, and proceed to the largest serial number on the right hand side. Each UC5 sensor has a serial number stamped on the sensor housing.
Page 15
Ultrasonic Sensor Mounting Guidelines The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor measurement error. These rules should be followed for both the wing sensors and the main lift (middle) sensor. 1. In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (23 cm) or more from the ground (A). 2.
Page 16
If the sensor is mounted to this portion of the boom, the system will force the boom downwards towards the ground as the boom folds backwards. 4. Mount the NORAC UC5 ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor cable through the sensor tube.
Page 17
Main Lift Sensor Installation Figure 10: Main Lift Bracket Assembly 1. There are a variety of ways to mount the main lift bracket on most sprayers. The bracket should position the sensor approximately in the center of the sprayer, forward of the boom.
Roll Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly 1. Securely mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the #6 machine screws. 2. The orientation of the mounted roll sensor to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the bracket mounting. The roll sensor CANbus connector must be pointing towards the right side of the sprayer when looking from the rear of the sprayer.
Page 19
Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Front Mounted Rigid Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount the lowest serial number onto the boom frame and the highest serial number onto the chassis near the sprayer cab. The Boom Frame roll sensor must be the roll sensor with the lowest serial number.

Figure 21: Valve Module Bracket Installation 5. Connect the valve module CANbus to cable C01 from the control module. Route cable C02 from the other CANbus connector to the input module. 6. With the valve module securely mounted to the valve block, connect the valve cables (C10), to the valve coils.
Page 26
6. Route cable C21 under the sprayer and connect to the sprayer main lift connectors. The 4- pin Weatherpack connector acts as a boom disconnect and should be located close to the 2 way coupler used for disconnecting the Norac CANbus.
Connecting the Sensors to the CANbus 1. Route cable C02 from the valve module to the 8-way coupler (E11). 2. Connect the boom frame roll sensor to the 8-way coupler. Fasten the 8-way coupler to the boom with cable ties. 3.
Component failure due to oil contamination is not covered under the NORAC UC5 system warranty. It is recommended that a qualified technician perform the hydraulic installation.

10.2 Valve Block Mounting 1. Model year 2009 and newer sprayers have a factory installed valve mounting plate (Figure 27). 2. A valve mounting plate (B01) is provided for mounting the valve block on older model sprayers. (Figure 28) 3. A suitable mounting location for the valve block is illustrated in Figure 27. Mount the block with the pressure and tank ports facing the sprayer cab.
