  • Page 11 Do not use high speed power tools/drills when installing hardware. 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 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 14 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. 2.
  • Page 15 Low Profile Bracket Mounting Guidelines 1. Minimize the distance between the bolts to prevent bending the bracket and prevent the bracket from loosening over time. 2. Ensure the bracket is mounted tight against the bottom of the boom, minimizing the distance between the boom structure and the angled flange.
  • Page 16 5. Mount the NORAC UC5 ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor cable either through hole in the back or through the side cut-out and behind the bracket.
  • Page 17 Main Lift Sensor Installation 1. The main lift mounting bracket (B21) is the bracket with the longer mounting flange. 2. 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: Roll Sensor Installation

    Roll Sensor Installation Before installing the roll sensors, determine if the sprayer has a trapeze style, center pivot style or high pendulum style boom. For installation on a trapeze style boom refer to Section 7.2. For installation on a center pivot boom refer to Section 7.3. For installation on a high pendulum boom refer to Section 7.4 Trapeze Links...

  • Page 20 Bracket Assembly 1. Securely mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the #6 machine screws. Tighten screws to 10 in-lbs (1.1 Nm). 2. The orientation of the mounted roll sensor to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the bracket mounting.
  • Page 21 Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Trapeze-Suspended Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount the lowest serial number on the trapeze link (boom frame) and the highest serial number on the trapeze support (chassis). For optimal performance, minimize the distance from the boom frame roll sensor to the pivot point (A) and minimize the vertical distance between the chassis roll sensor and the pivot point (B).
  • Page 22 Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Center Pivot Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount the lowest serial number on the boom frame and the highest serial number on 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).
  • Page 23 Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: High Pendulum Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount the lowest serial number on the boom frame and the highest serial number on the chassis (non-pivoting portion of the sprayer). Figure 21: Roll Sensor Mounting on a High Pendulum Boom 2.

  • Page 25 Control Module: Pull Type Sprayer 1. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 23. 2. Refer to the display kit installation manual to determine the best mounting location for the control module (E01). 3. Connect the display terminal to the control module using the display CANbus cable. This cable must be connected to the end of the control module with only one Deutsch connector.
  • Page 26 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 27 Figure 26: 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 27.
  • Page 28 Input Module Cables C20 and C21 are shown in Figure 28 for informational purposes only. The interface cables are ordered separately from this kit and may differ from the diagram below. 1. Install the input module (E03) on the boom near the sprayer valve block. Secure it to the boom using cable ties or optional brackets.

  • Page 29: Connecting The Sensors To The Canbus

    Follow existing cables and hoses to be sure the cable will not be pinched or stretched. Figure 29: UC5 Module Locations and Cable Connections 5. At the sensor brackets, attach a 2-way coupler with terminator (E20) to the sprayer boom.

  • Page 30: 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.
