  • Page 13: Pre-Install Checklist

    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.

  • Page 14: Ultrasonic Sensor Installation

    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 Wing Sensor Mounting Guidelines The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor measurement error. 1. In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (23 cm) or more from the ground. 2. Ensure that there are no obstructions within a 12-inch diameter circle projected directly below the center of the sensor.
  • Page 16 Low Profile Bracket Mounting Guidelines 1. Minimize the distance between the bolts to prevent bending the bracket and prevent the bracket from loosening over time. 2. Ensure the bracket is mounted tight against the bottom of the boom, minimizing the distance between the boom structure and the angled flange.
  • Page 17 4. Use M07, M08 and M09 in place of the supplied hardware to mount the brackets. 5. Mount the NORAC UC5 ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor cable either through hole in the back or through the side cut-out and behind the bracket.
  • Page 18 Ultrasonic Main Lift Sensor Mounting Guidelines The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor measurement error. 1. In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (23 cm) or more from the ground. 2. The centerline of the acoustic cone should be approximately vertical at normal operating heights.
  • Page 19 Main Lift Sensor Installation Figure 10: Main Lift Bracket Assembly 1. The main lift bracket should position the sensor approximately in the center of the sprayer, forward of the boom. An example of this mounting is illustrated in Figure 11. 2.

  • Page 20: Position Sensor Installation

    Position Sensor Installation 1. The position sensor (E06) should be mounted such that the largest amount of travel of the sensor can be utilized without exceeding the travel limit. The sensor install length is 17” (430mm) center to center with ±3.5” (±90mm) travel recommended. It should be mounted with the cable on the bottom in a location where the sensor will not bind or contact.
