4 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 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.

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 13
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.

Main Lift Sensor Installation 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. An example of this mounting is illustrated in Figure 8. Figure 8: Example Mounting of the Main Lift Bracket Avoid mounting the main lift sensor over or near a wheel-track.
6 Module Installation Control Module 1. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 9. 2. Securely mount the control module (E01) near the hitch of the sprayer, near the display terminal connections. 3. Connect the display terminal to the control module using the existing display CAN-bus cable. This cable must be connected to the end of the control module with only one Deutsch connector.

Valve Module 1. Install the valve module (E02) to the top of the NORAC valve block. Orient the 6-pin Deutsch (CAN-bus) connectors towards the P and T ports. Output Number Normal Function Left Up Left Down Right Up Right Down...

Input Module 1. Install the input module (E03) on the boom near the Fast valve block. Secure it to the boom with cable ties. 2. Connect the free end of the CAN-bus cable (C02) from the valve module to the input module.
Follow existing cables and hoses to be sure the cable will not be pinched or stretched. Figure 13: UC5 Module Locations and Cable Connections 5. At the sensor brackets, attach a 3-way coupler (E10) to the sprayer boom. Plug the sensor and the CAN-bus cable into the 3-way coupler.
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.

6. Insert the two orifices (F06) into the “A” and “B” ports on the expansion valve block. Note the orifice orientation in Figure 15. 7. Install the 6MB-6MJ (F04) fittings into the “A” and “B” ports on the expansion valve block. Tighten to 18 ft-lbs (24 Nm). Figure 15: NORAC Valve Block Details...

Valve Block Mounting 1. Mount the valve block on the center section of the boom as illustrated in Figure 16. 2. Insert the threaded rod into the block and use a hex nut to hold the rod. The block holes are 3/8”...

Linear Roll Cylinder Assembly 1. In the linear roll cylinder crate is the linear roll cylinder, boom target, spring target, and sensor bracket. Figure 17: Linear Roll Cylinder Assembly 2. Install the linear roll cylinder onto the sprayer with the damper end at the top. 3.

4. Align the spring target by rotating the metal casing around the linear roll cylinder. 5. Mount the sensor bracket to the damper end (the end with no hoses). A straight edge can be used to line up the spring target with the center of the hole on the sensor mounting bracket. 6.

F02 and to the “B” ports of the NORAC block. 3. Tee in the pressure and tank lines (*H01) for the NORAC block in to the existing lines on the Fast valve block, using the tee fitting (F03).
Begin the AUTOMATIC SYSTEM SETUP procedure as described in the UC5 Spray Height Control Operator’s Manual. 5. For optimal performance of the UC5 system, there should be very little play at the hitch clevis. The addition of polymer washers can help tighten up this connection (Figure 20).
