  • Page 9 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 (M06) to all threaded parts upon installation.

  • Page 10: 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 11: Ultrasonic Sensor Installation

    Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Ultrasonic Sensor Serial Number Arrangement When installing the 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 sensor has a serial number stamped on the sensor housing.
  • Page 12 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 ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket. A problem can arise if a sensor is not mounted correctly. It is possible for the sensor to read off of the boom instead of the ground.

  • Page 14: Roll Sensor Installation

    Roll Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly 1. Securely mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the #6 machine screws. 2. The orientation of the mounted roll sensor to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the bracket mounting. The roll sensor CANbus connector must be pointing towards the right side of the sprayer (when looking from the rear of the sprayer).
  • Page 15 Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Center Pivot Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount the roll sensor without the temperature probe on the boom frame and the roll sensor with the temperature probe 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 16 Figure 12: Roll Sensor Mounting (Viewed from the rear of sprayer) Temperature Probe Once the block is mounted, fasten the temperature probe from E03 to the NORAC valve block using the included 3/8x1/2” bolt as illustrated in Figure 13. Figure 13: NORAC Valve Block with Temperature Probe Installed...

    5. Connect the 6-pin tower on C03 to the 6-pin shroud on C11. Connect the 2-pin connectors on C03 to the NORAC valve block, as shown in Figure 15. 6. The connectors on the valve cable (C03) are marked RIGHT UP, LEFT UP, RIGHT DOWN and LEFT DOWN.
  • Page 18 Figure 15: Valve Cable Connections 7. Fasten the 8-way coupler to the boom with cable ties. Connect P6 on C11 to the 8-way coupler. 8. Connect both roll sensors to the 8-way coupler. 9. Connect two cables (C05) to the 8-way coupler and route along the booms to the wing sensors.

    4. Install the 6MB-6MJ (F04) fittings into the “B” ports on the NORAC block. Tighten to 18 ft-lbs (24 Nm). 1. Install the 6MBP plugs (F05) into the "A" ports on the NORAC block. Tighten to 18 ft-lbs (24 Nm).
  • Page 20 Valve Block Mounting Ensure that no hydraulic components will interfere with any sprayer parts or be pulled tight at any time. 1. A suitable mounting location for the valve block is illustrated in Figure 17. 2. Insert the threaded rod into the block and use a hex nut to hold the rod. The block holes are 3/8”...
  • Page 21 Ensure there are no other orifices present in the circuit between the NORAC valve block and the boom cylinders. 1. After the NORAC valves are mounted, the hydraulic hoses and fittings can be plumbed. The plumbing for the hydraulic circuit is shown schematically in Figure 3.

    4. By using the “Quick Install” feature of the UC4.5 panel, the system may be configured in preparation for the End-User. However, a hydraulic “ReTune” procedure will be required for optimal performance.

  • Page 23: End User Installation

    A good spot to mount the UC4.5 control panel is on the right hand side of the cab to the Roll Over Protection Bar. Four pilot holes for the screws provided need to be drilled to facilitate the control panel mounting.
  • Page 24 7. The procedure for the installation of the UC4.5 Spray Height Control system is now complete. 8. Turn on the power for the UC4.5 Control Panel using the switch on the side of its chassis. If “FT1” shows up as the sprayer type, start the “ReTune” process as described in the UC4.5 Spray Height Control Operator’s Manual (M01).
