Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the NORAC UC5 Spray Height Control System. This system is manufactured with top quality components and is engineered using the latest technology to provide operating reliability unmatched for years to come. When properly used the system can provide protection from sprayer boom damage, improve sprayer efficiency, and ensure chemicals are applied correctly.
Technical Specifications CAN ICES-3(A)/NMB-3(A) This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
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.
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.
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 (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. 4. 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.
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.

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).
Module Installation An optional module mounting bracket kit is available for purchase from NORAC. mounting brackets are compatible with control modules and input modules. One kit is needed per module. Item Part Number Name Quantity 43708 UC5 MOUNTING BRACKET KIT (CONTROL AND INPUT MODULES) Control Module 1.

Input Module 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. 2. Connect the free end of the CANbus cable (C02) from the valve module to the input module.
Follow existing cables and hoses to be sure the cable will not be pinched or stretched. Figure 22: UC5 Module Locations and Cable Connections 5. At the sensor brackets, attach a 2-way coupler with terminator (E20) to the sprayer boom.
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.

10.2 Valve Block Mounting 1. A suitable mounting location for the valve block is illustrated in Figure 24. recommended location is on the horizontal cross member, above the Spray-Coupe valve block. 2. Insert the threaded rod into the block and use a hex nut to hold the rod. The block holes are 3/8”...
