  • Page 12: Pre-Install Checklist

    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.

  • Page 13: Ultrasonic Sensor Installation

    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.
  • Page 16 Main Lift Sensor Installation 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 8. Figure 8: Example Mounting of the Main Lift Bracket Avoid mounting the main lift sensor over or near a wheel-track.

  • Page 17: Roll Sensor Installation

    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 the mounted roll sensor to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the bracket mounting.
  • Page 18 Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Trapeze-Suspended Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount one to the trapeze link (boom frame) and one to the trapeze support (chassis). For optimal performance, minimize the distance from the boom frame roll sensor to the pivot point (A) and minimize the vertical distance between the chassis roll sensor and the pivot point (B).

  • Page 22 4. Ensure the bracket is pushed over the connectors far enough to allow the clips to engage behind the valve connectors. Figure 16: Valve Module Bracket Installation 5. Connect the valve module CANbus to cable C01 from the control module. Route cable C02 from the other CANbus connector to the input module.
  • Page 23 Input Module 1. Install the input module (E03) on the boom near the Summers valve block. Secure it to the boom with cable ties. 2. Connect the free end of the CANbus cable (C02) from the valve module to the input module. 3.

  • Page 24: Connecting The Sensors To The Canbus

    Follow existing cables and hoses to be sure the cable will not be pinched or stretched. Figure 19: UC5 Module Locations and Cable Connections 5. At the sensor brackets, attach a 2-way coupler with terminator (E20) to the sprayer boom.

  • Page 29: Software Setup

    Begin the AUTOMATIC SYSTEM SETUP procedure as described in the UC5 Spray Height Control Operator’s Manual. 5. For optimal performance of the UC5 system, there should be very little play at the hitch clevis. The addition of polymer washers can help tighten up this connection (Figure 22).
