  • Page 13: Existing System Check

    Existing System Check 1. Before beginning the install, ensure all hydraulic boom functions are operating properly on the sprayer.  All Fold Functions  Main Lift Function  Wing Tilt Functions  Slant Function 2. Inspect slide pads and wear surfaces for excessive wear. Replace or adjust if necessary. 3.
  • Page 14 8. Record the time (seconds) it takes for a full stroke for all boom functions. To ensure repeatable measurements, take the average of 3 trials. 9. Not all sprayers will have the functions listed below in Figure 6. Ensure the boom has sufficient travel so it does not contact the ground during these tests.

  • Page 15: Ultrasonic Sensor Installation

    Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 7, following the instructions below. Figure 7: 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.
  • Page 16 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. Apply a light coating of the supplied Permatex Anti-seize grease to all threaded parts upon installation.
  • Page 17 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 18 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 and run the sensor cable through the sensor tube.

  • Page 19: 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. Tighten screws to 10 in-lbs (1.1 Nm). 2. The orientation of the mounted roll sensor to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the bracket mounting.

  • Page 23: Electrical Installation

    Electrical Installation 1. Install the UC4.5 Control Panel (E01) in the cab of the sprayer. Mount the panel where it will be clearly visible and within easy reach of the operator. 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.
  • Page 24 10. Connect the wires labeled “LEFT” and “RIGHT” on C16 to the Hardi PCB. Insert the NORAC wires under the screw terminals with the existing Brown HARDI wires (Tilt L + [Black wire] and Tilt R + [White wire]) as shown in Figure 20.
  • Page 25 12. 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 21. 13. The connectors on the valve cable (C03) are marked RIGHT UP, LEFT UP, RIGHT DOWN and LEFT DOWN.

  • Page 30 12. Remove the Hardi hoses from the “lower” line (the “A” line) of the cylinder and remove the restricted straight BSPP fittings. (Figure 26) 13. Install the 4FBSPPX 6MJ fittings (F04) onto hoses H02. Install NORAC and Hardi hoses onto the 4MBSPPT 4FBSPPRX tee (F05).
  • Page 31 4. Install two 6MB 6MOR (F02) fittings into the “B” ports on the NORAC block. Tighten to 18 ft-lbs (24 Nm). 5. Install the 6MBP (F03) plugs into the “A” ports on the NORAC block and tighten to 18 ft- lbs (24 Nm).
  • Page 32 4MORT tee (F05) between the valve block and hoses. Install the 4FOR 6MOR fittings (F04) onto hoses H01. Connect hoses H01 to each of the tee fittings and route to the NORAC valve block. Install the corresponding hose to the pressure and tank port on the NORAC valve block.
  • Page 33 8. The plumbing for the hydraulic circuit is shown schematically in Figure 4. 9. Install the 90 degree fittings on hoses H02 onto the “A” and “B” ports on the NORAC valve block. Route the free ends of the hoses to each of the wing tilt cylinders.
  • Page 34 4MORT tee (F05) between the valve block and hoses. Install the 4FOR 6MOR fittings (F04) onto hoses H01. Connect hoses H01 to each of the tee fittings and route to the NORAC valve block. Install the corresponding hose to the pressure and tank port on the NORAC valve block.
  • Page 35 Valve Block Mounting Ensure that no hydraulic components will interfere with any sprayer parts or be pulled tight at any time. The recommended mounting location is on the rear of the boom main section near the Hardi valve block. 1. A suitable mounting location for the valve block is illustrated in Figure 34. 2.

  • Page 36: Software Setup

    Software Setup 1. Start up the sprayer and test the sprayer’s functionality. The NORAC control panel does not need to be powered on for the original boom function switches to operate. Unfold the booms and raise/lower each boom and the main section.
