FACE P - PIPE 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. Permatex Anti- seize lubricant is preferred, but other similar anti-seize products may be used.
4 Pre-Install Checklist The pre-install checklist is necessary to check the existing sprayer functionality before the installation. 1. Before beginning the install, ensure all hydraulic boom functions are operating properly on the sprayer. All Fold Functions Paralift Functions ...

5. Unfold the sprayer over a flat, unobstructed area (i.e. no power lines…etc.). 6. Ensure all boom-fold operations are functional (place a check mark in boxes below). 7. Bring engine to field-operational RPM and record below. 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.
5 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 6, following the instructions below. Figure 6: 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.

Main lift sensor installation on HAZ/HPZ The general mounting rule for UC5 ultrasonic sensors must be followed for the main lift sensor. 1. Mount the ML bracket (Item B11) as illustrated in Figure 13. Ensure sensor cable is routed properly and securely fastened.
Page 21
Main lift sensor installation on LPZ No mounting bracket is required. Mount the ML sensor as illustrated in Figure 14. Ensure sensor cable is securely fastened with cable ties. Figure 14: Main Lift Sensor Mounting on LPZ Center Part...
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 23
Roll Sensor Mounting on HPZ/HAZ Mount the roll sensors to the boom center section, as illustrated below. Ensure the Deutsch connector is pointing towards the right hand wing. Fasten with cable ties. Figure 17: Boom Roll Sensor Mounting (viewed from rear of sprayer)
Page 24
Roll Sensor Mounting on DELTA (LPZ) Mount the roll sensors to the boom center section, as illustrated below. Ensure the Deutsch connector is pointing towards the right hand wing. Fasten with cable ties. Figure 18: Boom Roll Sensor Mounting (viewed from rear of sprayer)
7 Module Installation Control Module 1. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 19. 2. Securely mount the control module (E01) near the hitch of the sprayer, within reach of the display terminal connections. 3. Connect the display terminal to the control module using the display CANbus cable. This cable must be connected to the end of the control module with only one Deutsch connector.

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 C02 from the control module. Route cable C04 from the other CANbus connector to the 6 way coupler.
Page 28
Input Module 1. Install the input module (E03) on the boom near the enclosure that houses the HARDI DAH09 PCB. Secure it to the sprayer with cable ties. 2. Connect the free end of the CANbus cable (C01) from the control module to the input module.
8 Connecting the Sensors to the CANbus 1. Connect cable C04 from the input module to the 8-way coupler (E11). 2. Connect both roll sensors to the 8-way coupler. Fasten the 8-way coupler to the boom with cable ties. 3. Connect the main lift sensor to the 8-way coupler using cable C04 (#2) and a 2-way coupler (E12).
Valve Assembly 1. On a clean surface remove the plastic plugs from the block. 2. Install two 3/8” x 1/4” BSPP (F02) fittings into the P and T ports on the NORAC block. Tighten to 18 ft-lbs (24 Nm). 3. Insert the two orifices (F01) into the “B” ports with the notch facing out.
