    4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Before installing the NORAC UC4 Boom Control System to your sprayer, it is necessary to check that all functions of the existing hydraulic system are working properly. Furthermore, it is informative to determine how quickly your sprayer booms and main (center) section are able to change their position without the UC4 System installed.

    FOLDING boom movement. 3. Mount one NORAC UC4 ultrasonic sensor (Item E2) near the tip of each boom with the brackets provided (Item B13). Using the 8-mm nuts and lock washers provided with the sensor to attach the sensor to the bracket.
  • Page 15 For this reason, you may want to avoid mounting on a breakaway section. Please refer to the UC4 system warranty at the end of the UC4 Sprayer Boom Control Operator’s Manual (Item M1) for implications. NOTE: When installing the UC4 sensors (Item E2), start with the smallest serial number on the left hand side proceeding to the largest serial number on the right hand side (Figure 6).
  • Page 16 5. The sensor cable should be run down through the tube of the mounting bracket and then behind the member the bracket is mounted onto. Cable-tie (Items M3 and/or M2) the connector in place. The cable must not be allowed to hang below the boom (Figure 8).

Figure 9 – Target Bracket The Target Bracket (Item B12) can be mounted in any direction around most sizes of sprayer frame member and aimed using two ball and socket connections.

  • Page 18: Mounting On The Boom

    Mounting on the Boom Figure 11 – Main Roll Sensor Mounting Locations 1. When mounting the UC4 main roll sensor and target, first, determine whether your sprayer will allow the roll sensor to be mounted in front of the boom (preferred).
  • Page 19 • Do not mount the sensor and target directly behind the tire. If mounted behind the tire there will be inadequate crop canopy to reflect the unwanted ultrasonic signal causing an error when using CROP mode. NOTE: For more information, please refer to the UC4 Sprayer Boom Control Operator’s Manual (Item M1). IMPORTANT: The sensor must NOT be mounted on the same frame section as the target.

  • Page 22 3. Mount the sensor and target loosely in place. The sensor should hang vertically without any stress because the sensor direction is critical. To avoid the stress, cable-tie (Items M2/M3) the cable from the sensor (and the sensor branch cable (Item C2)) to the mounting bracket tube or insert them into the tube.
