NOTE: Hoses are supplied by Hagie Figure 3: HG01 Hydraulic Plumbing Parts 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.

4 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.
5 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 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 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. An example of this mounting is illustrated in Figure 10.
6 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 both roll sensors to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the bracket mounting.
Page 19
Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Front Mounted Rigid Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount one to the boom and one to the chassis near the sprayer cab. Figure 13: Roll Sensor Mounting on a Front Mounted Rigid Boom 2. Ensure the roll sensors are relatively level when the sprayer boom and chassis are level. 3.
Page 20
Boom-Frame Roll Sensor Mounting 1. Install the roll sensor with the lowest serial number onto the top part of the center boom section on the left hand side of the boom. The roll sensor must be mounted with the connector facing the right boom when viewed from the rear of the sprayer. Figure 14: Hagie Boom Frame Roll Sensor Mounting Ensure the boom frame roll sensor does not collide with any parts and the cable has sufficient slack for the boom to travel though its entire range of motion.
Page 21
Chassis Roll Sensor Mounting 1. Mount the chassis roll sensor on the main sprayer chassis, with the cable facing the right hand wing. 2. A common mounting location is in front of the left hand side air bag, near the location where the main lift cylinder attaches to the frame.
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.

From this point on in the installation the booms will be inoperative until the hydraulics are fully installed. 1. After the NORAC valve is mounted, the hydraulic hoses and fittings can be plumbed. The plumbing for the hydraulic circuit is shown schematically in Figure 3.
8 Module Installation Control Module 1. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 18. 2. Securely mount the control module (E01) with inside the sprayer cab, using screws or cable ties. 3. Connect the display terminal to the control module. This display cable must be connected to the end of the control module with only one Deutsch connector.
Page 27
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 (C03) from the valve module to the input module. 3.

4. Ensure the bracket is pushed over the connectors far enough to allow the clips to engage behind the valve connectors. Figure 22: Valve Module Bracket Installation 5. Connect the valve module CANbus to cable C01 from the chassis roll sensor. Route cable C02 from the other CANbus connector to the input module.
Follow existing cables and hoses to be sure the cable will not be pinched or stretched. Figure 24: UC5 Module Locations and Cable Connections 4. At the sensor brackets, attach a 2-way coupler with terminator (E20) to the sprayer boom.
3. Turn on the power for the display terminal using the switch on the side. 4. The procedure for the installation of the UC5 Spray Height Control system is now complete. Begin the AUTOMATIC SYSTEM SETUP procedure as described in the UC5 Spray Height...
