SIZE FACE P - PIPE 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 to all threaded parts upon installation.
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.
5 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 5, following the instructions below. Figure 5: Breakaway Bracket Assembly 1. Compress the spring and insert it together with the collar into the base. 2. Slide the tube through the assembled part. 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. Apply a light coating of the supplied Permatex Anti-seize grease to all threaded parts upon installation.

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 15
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. 3. Mount the NORAC UC5 ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor cable through the sensor tube.

Main Lift Sensor Installation Figure 9: 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.
6 Roll Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly 1. Securely mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the #6 machine screw and nylon lock-nuts. 2. The orientation of the mounted roll sensor to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the bracket mounting.
Page 18
Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Center Pivot Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount one to the boom frame and one to the chassis (non-pivoting portion of the sprayer). For optimal performance, minimize the distance between the roll sensors (A) and minimize the height from each roll sensor to the pivot point (B) Figure 13: Roll Sensor Mounting on a Center Pivot Suspended Boom 2.

7 Module Installation Control Module 1. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 17. 2. Securely mount the control module (E01) inside the sprayer cab, using the included brackets, screws or cable ties. 3. Connect the display terminal to the control module using the cable that came with your display kit.

Figure 20: 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 as illustrated in Figure 21.
Page 23
Input Module 1. Install the input module (E03) on the boom near the John Deere valve block. Secure it to the boom using the included brackets or cable ties. 2. Connect the CANbus cable (C02) from the valve module to the input module. 3.
8 Connecting the Sensors to the CANbus 1. Route cable C03 from the input module to the 8-way coupler (E11). 2. Connect both roll sensors to the 8-way coupler. Fasten the 8-way coupler to the boom with cable ties. 3. Connect the main lift sensor to the 8-way coupler using cable C04 and a 2-way coupler (E12).
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.

Valve Block Mounting 1. A good mounting location for the valve block on the John Deere 4630 sprayer is illustrated in Figure 25. 2. Insert the threaded rod into the block and use a hex nut to hold the rod. The block holes are 3/8”...

From this point on in the installation the booms will be inoperative until the hydraulics are fully installed. 1. After the NORAC valve is mounted, the hydraulic hoses and fittings can be plumbed. The plumbing for the hydraulic circuit is shown schematically in Figure 3.
Page 28
9. Attach hose H02 to the “B” port on the 3 station of the block. Route the free end of the hose to the John Deere valve block. Tee in H02 to the existing main lift line on the John Deere valve block, using the tee fitting (*F03).
10 Software Setup 1. Start up your sprayer and test the sprayer’s functionality. The display terminal does not need to be powered on for the original boom function switches to operate. Unfold the booms and raise/lower each boom and the main section. Confirm that the cabling and hoses are agreeable to the entire range of motion.
