    Figure 1 illustrates the general layout of the UC5 system components: Figure 1: General UC5 System Layout 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.

  • Page 10 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 11: Ultrasonic Sensor Installation

    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. Insert the sensor tube and spring into the base plate. 2. Slide the front plate onto the sensor tube. Using the bolts and nuts, tighten the front and base plates to the rear plate and onto the sprayer boom.
  • Page 12 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 13 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 14 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.
  • Page 15 Main Lift Sensor Installation Figure 10: 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. 2.
  • Page 16 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 17 Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Trapeze-Suspended Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount one to the boom frame – lowest serial number, one to boom carrier frame (intermediate frame - non-pivoting portion of the sprayer) and one to the chassis (reference frame) – highest serial number. For optimal performance, minimize the distance from the boom frame roll sensor to the pivot point (A) and minimize the vertical distance between the intermediate frame roll sensor and the pivot point (B).

  • Page 19 Module Installation Control Module 1. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 16. 2. Securely mount the control module (E01) inside the sprayer cab, using screws or cable ties. 3. Connect the display terminal to the control module using the display cable. This display cable must be connected to the end of the control module with only one Deutsch connector.
  • Page 20 Valve Module 1. Install the valve module (E02) to the top of the NORAC valve block. Orient the 6-pin Deutsch (CANbus) connectors towards the P and T ports with the label facing up. Output Number Normal Function Left Up Left Down...
  • Page 21 Figure 19: Valve Module Bracket Installation 5. Connect the valve module CANbus to cable C04. 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.
  • Page 22 Input Module 1. Install the input module (E03) on the boom near the sprayer valve block. Secure it to the boom with cable ties. 2. Connect the free end of the CANbus cable (C01) from the control module to the input module.
  • Page 23 Connecting the Sensors to the CANbus 1. Fasten the 8-way coupler to the boom with cable ties. Route cable C04 from the valve module to the 8-way coupler (E11). 2. Connect the boom frame and intermediate frame roll sensors to the 8-way coupler. 3.
  • Page 24: Hydraulic Installation

    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.
  • Page 25 Valve Block Mounting 1. Mount the valve block to the boom. 2. Insert the threaded rod into the block and use a hex nut to hold the rod. The block holes are 3/8” NC-1” deep. If bolts are used instead of the threaded rod, ensure the bolts thread in at least 3/8”.
  • Page 26 6. Connect one end of hoses H01 to F01. Connect the other end of H01 to fittings F02 installed on the pressure (“P”) and tank (“T”) ports on the NORAC valve block. 7. You must ensure there are no other orifices present in the circuit between the NORAC valve block and the boom cylinders.
