  • Page 9: Calibration Stand Assembly And Alignment

    Calibration Stand Assembly and Alignment Assemble the two parts of the test stand as shown in Figure 4. Insert the sheet metal insert into the rectangular hole. Install the spring, flat washer and wing nut onto the stud. Tighten wing nut until the spring is approximately half compressed.
  • Page 10 Insert the alignment tool (44968-2) into the test stand. (Figure 5) Adjust the threaded mount (A) of the golf ball target so the surface of the ball will touch the tip of the alignment tool (it may be necessary to align the calibration stand first (Step 4) before this is possible.
  • Page 11 If the test stand is ever disassembled, it must be realigned when reassembled. Use the alignment tool to check the alignment of the test stand before each use. Inspect the sensor for visible damage. Inspect the transducer by removing the foam and looking through the screen. The underlying gold foil should be clean and free from tears, chemical deposits or wrinkles.

  • Page 12: Height Sensors

    Connect a sensor to the 2-way terminator, turn on the power supply and allow the sensor to run for at least 5 minutes before attempting to test it. Start the UC5 ToolSuite software. In the UC5 Toolsuite Initialization screen (Figure 7), select the bus monitor being used in the Bus Monitor Port drop-down list.
  • Page 13 Figure 9: UC5 Height Sensor Settings Use a thermometer to measure the current room temperature. If the sensor’s temperature reading is not the same as the room temperature, adjust the temperature using the “up” and “down” arrow buttons in the Temperature field.
  • Page 14 Use the “Automatic Calibration” button (“A”) to adjust the sensor’s settings. Press and hold the “A” button until the readings stop changing. 10. The distance and signal strength can also be adjusted manually by using the “up” and “down” arrow buttons in the Signal Strength and Distance fields. 11.
  • Page 15 Replacing Transducers Using a small flat screwdriver, remove the o-ring from around the sensor transducer. Peel the RTV silicone off the two tabs on the transducer. The spade connectors on the wires should now slide off the tabs. Remove the silicone from the two tabs Figure 10: Transducer Connector Tabs...
  • Page 16 Figure 12: Transducer Wire Positioning Add two small beads of RTV silicon to fasten the spade connectors to the transducer terminals. CAUTION: Do NOT allow the RTV to contact any part of the transducer, except the wire connection tabs. This will affect the transducer performance.
  • Page 17 NOTE: Do NOT use any type of grease or lubricant on the o-ring. Press the o-ring into place.  Insert the o-ring as evenly as possible.  The o-ring cannot have any bulges in it or have any spots that sit higher than the rest of the o-ring.
  • Page 18 Replacing O-Rings NORAC recommends that all black rubber o-rings be replaced with an orange silicone o-ring even if the transducer is not being replaced. See Section 2.1 or 3.1 for ordering information. Using a small flat screwdriver, remove the o-ring from around the sensor transducer.

  • Page 19: Roll Sensors

    Connect a roll sensor to the 2-way terminator and turn on the power supply. Start the UC5 ToolSuite software. In the UC5 Toolsuite Initialization screen (Figure 14), select the bus monitor being used in the Bus Monitor Port drop-down list.
  • Page 20 NOTE: It is very important that the surface is level, flat and stationary. Figure 16: UC5 Roll Sensor with the Power Cable to the Right The Filter 2 angle reading should now be 2048 (±3). Test the roll sensor’s functionality by lifting each end and observing the Filter 2 angle reading.
  • Page 21 NOTE: The following section is only for roll sensors with a temperature probe (P/N: 43742). Use a thermometer to measure the current room temperature. 10. If the sensor’s temperature reading is not the same as the room temperature, adjust the temperature using the “up” and “down” arrow buttons in the Temperature field.

  • Page 22: Linear Sensors

    Connect a linear sensor to the 2-way terminator and turn on the power supply. Start the UC5 ToolSuite software. In the UC5 Toolsuite Initialization screen (Figure 14), select the bus monitor being used in the Bus Monitor Port drop-down list.
  • Page 23 Figure 21: Fully Closed Linear Sensor Slide the linear sensor open approximately half-way. Use a ruler or tape measure to measure the distance between the two parts of the linear sensor. (Figure 22) Check that the reading is measuring the same distance minus 5mm [0.2”].

  • Page 24: Frequently Asked Questions

    Nothing happens after “OK” is clicked in the Initialization screen. a) Ensure the power is turned on. b) Try cycling the power OFF then ON and reconnecting the UC5 Toolsuite Software. c) Check all cable connections to be sure everything is properly connected.
