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.
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 13
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 14
2. Typically the best mounting location for the wing sensor brackets will be near the end of the boom tips, approximately two feet (60cm) from the end. 3. 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 screw and nylon lock-nuts. 2. The orientation of both roll sensors to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the bracket mounting.

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. Figure 13: 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.
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.

Virtual Input Module 1. Open the drop down door located directly beneath the sprayer cab (Figure 17). Figure 16: Drop Down Access Panel beneath the Cab 2. Locate the CANbus interface cable as shown in Figure 17. This connector should be marked with DL-3.
Page 20
3. Disconnect the CANbus interface connectors and insert the NORAC CANbus interface cable (C20) between the two connectors. 4. Connect the 6 pin connector on cable C20 to the control module with the highest serial number. This connection must go into the end of the control module with only one connector.

9. Disconnect the Boom Down solenoid and insert the connector on cable (C11) that is connected to output 6 on the valve module. 10. Disconnect the Lock valve and insert the connector on cable (C11) that is connected to output 7 on the valve module. 11.
Follow existing cables and hoses to be sure the cable will not be pinched or stretched. Figure 22: UC5 Module Locations and Cable Connections 6. 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.
