WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 4 Pre‐Installation Checklist The pre‐install checklist is necessary to check the existing sprayer functionality before the installation. Unfold the sprayer over a flat, unobstructed area (i.e. no power lines…etc.). Ensure all boom‐fold operations are functional (place a check mark in boxes below). Bring engine to field‐operational RPM and record below. Record the time (seconds) it takes for a full stroke for all boom functions. To ensure repeatable measurements, take the average of 3 trials. Not all sprayers will have the functions listed below in Figure 3. Ensure the boom has sufficient travel so it does not contact the ground during these tests. Figure 3: Pre‐Install Boom Speeds Visit www.solutions.norac.ca for more system ...
Ensure all pressure has been bled from the system before disconnecting any lines or fittings. Hydraulic pressure will exist on the wing tilt circuits unless the wings are being supported by other means. The hydraulic installation may be performed with the wings in transport position, resting on the ground or with the tilt cylinders fully extended. Component failure due to oil contamination is not covered under the NORAC system warranty. It is recommended that a qualified technician perform the hydraulic installation. 5.1. Valve Block Assembly On a clean surface remove the plastic plugs from the block. Install the 6MB‐8MOR (F03) fitting into the “T” port. Tighten to 18 ft‐lbs (24 Nm). ...

WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 5.2. Valve Block Mounting A suitable mounting location for the valve block on the Rogator 700 is illustrated in Figure 5. Insert the threaded rod into the block and use a hex nut to hold the rod. The block holes are 3/8” (9.5 mm) NC‐1” (25 mm) deep. If bolts are used instead of the threaded rod, ensure the bolts thread in at least 3/8” (9.5 mm). Use the remaining hardware to secure the block to the sprayer. Cut off excess threaded rod, if necessary. Figure 5: Valve Block Mounting Visit www.solutions.norac.ca for more system Page 9 installation and troubleshooting info. ...

5.3. Hydraulic Plumbing From this point on in the installation the booms will be inoperative until the hydraulics are fully installed. 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 2. Install the 8FORX‐8MOR45 (F04) fitting onto fitting F03 on the “T” port of the NORAC block. Disconnect the tank line at the Rogator valve block and insert the 8FORXR‐8MORT tee (F05). Connect the 45 degree end of hose H02 to the tee (F05) and route to the NORAC valve block. Connect the straight end of hose H02 to F04 on the “T” port. Disconnect the pressure line at the Rogator valve block and insert the 6FORXR‐6MORT tee (F02). Connect the 45 degree end of hose H01 to the tee and route to the NORAC valve block. Connect the straight end of hose H01 to F01 on the “P” port. F04 H02 F03 H01 F01 Figure 6: Pressure and Tank Plumbing at NORAC Valve Block H01 ...

WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 6 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation 6.1. Ultrasonic Sensor Mounting Guidelines The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor measurement. In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (230 mm) or more from the ground. Ensure that there are no obstructions within a 12 inch (300 mm) diameter circle projected directly below the center of the sensor. The sensor should be approximately vertical at normal operating heights. Figure 11: Bracket Mounting Guidelines Figure 10: Sensor Mounting Guidelines 6.2. Low Profile Bracket Mounting Guidelines Minimize the distance between the bolts to prevent bending the bracket and prevent the bracket from loosening over time. Ensure the bracket is mounted tight against the bottom of the boom, minimizing the distance between the boom structure and the angled flange. A problem can arise if a sensor is not mounted correctly. This may only become apparent once the control system is switched from soil to crop mode. Be careful that the sensor bracket does not collide with any other part of the boom when the boom is folded to transport position. If possible, mount the sensor brackets while the booms are folded to ensure they will not cause interference.

WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 6.3. Rainflap Installation Rainflaps are only installed in the wing sensor brackets. Insert one side of the rainflap rod into the pre‐bent hinge tab on the sensor bracket. (Figure 12) Figure 12: Rainflap Rod in Pre‐Bent Hinge Tab Align the other side of the rainflap rod with the unbent hinge tab. (Figure 13) Figure 13: Align Rainflap Rod Bend the hinge tab inward over the rainflap rod until the hinge tab fits securely in the detent groove on the backside of the sensor bracket. (Figure 14) Figure 14: Bend Rainflap Hinge Tab Ensure the rainflap actuates smoothly when the bracket is turned upside down and returns to the open position when the sensor bracket is returned to its operating position (sensor pointing downwards toward the ground).

WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 6.4. Wing Sensor Installation If installing a three sensor system, refer to Section 6.4.1. If installing a five sensor system (severe terrain option), refer to Section 6.4.2. 6.4.1. Installation of a Three Sensor System Each sensor has a serial number stamped on the sensor housing. Apply a light coating of the supplied Permatex Anti‐seize grease to all threaded parts upon installation. Figure 15: Sensor Serial Number Arrangement The sensor bracket should be oriented forward (ahead of the boom). Typically, the best mounting location for the wing sensor brackets will be near the end of the boom tips, approximately five feet (1.5 m) from the end. Mount the sensors (E07) into the sensor brackets with the lowest serial number on the left side and the highest serial number on the right side. Run the sensor cable through hole in the back of the bracket. Ensure the cable is clear of moving parts and will not be damaged during folding. Connect cables C05 to the 8‐way coupler and route along the boom to the outer wing sensors. Visit www.solutions.norac.ca for more system Page 14 installation and troubleshooting info. ...

WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED Figure 25: Cables Under Mounting Clips (Side View) Figure 26: Cables Laid Across Valve Coils (Top View) Place the HCM1 (E01) between the valve coils. Orient the 6‐pin Deutsch (CANbus) connectors towards the “P” and “T” ports with the large label and LEDs facing up. Slide the mounting clips over the connectors of the HCM1 and the valve coil connectors. This may require flexing the plastic bracket slightly. Ensure the clip is pushed over the connectors far enough to allow the clips to engage behind the valve connectors. Connect the valve cables (C10) to the valve coils and the HCM1. The cable connected to the left connector (1,2) should be connected to the coil closest to the “P” and “T” ports. The cable connected to the right connector on the HCM1 (3,4) should be connected to the coil furthest from the “P” and “T” ports. Connect cable C12 to connector (5,6) on the HCM1. Check if locking valves are installed on the accumulators. The locking valve is an electrical solenoid attached to the accumulator. If locking valves are not installed on the accumulators, install H20 and H21. Remove the plug on the ...
