  • Page 11 ORIFICE INSERT .042 IN ONE WAY These fittings are only used when installing the active roll option. 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 12: Pre-Install Checklist

    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 13: 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. Compress the spring and insert it together with the collar into the base. 2. Slide the tube through the assembled part. 3.
  • Page 14 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 15 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 16 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 17 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.

  • Page 18: Target Installation And Alignment

    TARGET INSTALLATION AND ALIGNMENT NOTE: It is very important that the rods be installed on the right hand side of the sprayer. 1. Ensure the sprayer chassis and booms are leveled and the center section is approximately 4 feet above the ground. A ladder or step will be required for this part of the installation. Sensor Bracket Roll...
  • Page 19 2. Remove the rubber bumpers on both ends of the roll frame (Figure 12). 3. Assemble the roll sensor mounting bracket as shown in Figure 14. Figure 14: Roll Sensor Mounting Bracket 4. Install the roll sensor bracket on the T-shaped black intermediate frame (Figure 12). The sensor should be mounted between the parallel lift arms and the wheel in a position that will not interfere with folding.
  • Page 20 7. Adjust the targets and sensor bracket using a level or a plumb line. Ensure the sprayer is level and the booms are level when installing the roll targets. The spring target must be aligned on the centerline of the sensor. The Frame target must be aligned ½" to the left side of the centerline.
