    Figure 5. Figure 5: Pin Location for Hilly Mode 3. This UC4.5-BC-RA1 kit is designed to control the Kverneland variable-geometry boom. This requires that the boom is fitted with variable-geometry tilt cylinders. If this install requires adding tilt cylinders;...
  • Page 12 4. Set the boom suspension to be critically damped (Figure 7). Adjust the boom springs and dampers accordingly. A) Unlock the boom, and push boom tip down approximately 75 cm (30 inches). B) Hold the boom steady for a moment, and release. C) Ensure the boom returns to its relaxed state as quickly as possible, with little to no overshoot.

  • Page 13: Ultrasonic Sensor Installation

    Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 9, following the instructions below. Figure 9: 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 14 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 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 ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor cable through the sensor tube.
  • Page 17 Figure 13: Sensor Bracket Mounted to Boom using RAU HSA Boom Clamp 2. Using this clamp will also require adjusting the width of the hole in the NORAC bracket to accommodate the larger bolts and differences in dimensions between the 2 parts.
  • Page 18 1. Use the square bracket mounting plate and the included hardware to mount the UC4 bracket to the HSS boom, as illustrated. NORAC Hardware Figure 15: HSS Boom 2. Mount the UC4 bracket to the HSS boom as shown below, inside of the break-away section.
  • Page 19 Main Lift Sensor Installation 1. The Main lift sensor bracket (B11) can be mounted as illustrated below. Ensure the cable is safely routed to prevent damage from moving parts. Figure 17: Main Lift Sensor Bracket Mounting - View from Beneath the Boom 2.

  • Page 20: 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 21 Boom Roll Sensor Mounting 1. Mount the boom roll sensor (E03) to the rolling part of the boom. Ensure that this is the roll sensor with the temperature probe. This is accomplished by drilling and bolting to the sheet-metal frame. Mount the roll sensor as illustrated, oriented with the CAN cable pointing to the right-hand wing (when looking from the rear of the sprayer).
  • Page 22 Temperature Probe Once the block is mounted, fasten the temperature probe from E03 to the NORAC valve block using the included 3/8x1/2” bolt as illustrated in Figure 23. Figure 23: NORAC Valve Block with Temperature Probe Installed...

  • 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. Figure 24: Cable Configurations: C10, C11 and C30 2. Connect the UC4.5 power cable (C10) to the UC4.5 control panel in the sprayer cab.
  • Page 24 Figure 25: RAU Module Wiring Connect the 3 Weatherpack connectors on C17 to the mating connectors on C11. Connect the RAU Valve Drive PCB (C12) to C17. 8. Plug C18 into C12 and securely fasten the module to the sprayer with cable-ties. 9.
  • Page 25 10. Connect Item C18 to the RAU valve drivers and power connections: a. Insert the 6-conductor wire into the RAU valve driver enclosure (SHC box) by removing a plug from an unused hole. Use a strain-relief grommet to protect the cable and make the entry weatherproof.
  • Page 26 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 28. 13. The connectors on the valve cable (C03) are marked RIGHT UP, LEFT UP, RIGHT DOWN and LEFT DOWN.

    Valve Assembly – Single Acting 1. On a clean surface remove the plastic plugs from the block. 2. Install the 6MB-4MBSPP fittings (*F04) into the “P” and “T” ports on the NORAC block. Tighten to 18 ft-lbs (24 Nm). 3. Insert the orifices (F01) into the “B” ports with the notch facing out.
  • Page 28 Valve Assembly – Double Acting 1. On a clean surface remove the plastic plugs from the block. 2. Install the 6MB-4MBSPP fittings (*F04) into the “P” and “T” ports on the NORAC block. Tighten to 18 ft-lbs (24 Nm). 3. Insert the orifices (F01) into the “B” ports with the notch facing out.
  • Page 29 Ensure that no hydraulic components will interfere with any sprayer parts or be pulled tight at any time. 1. The NORAC valve block may be mounted to the sprayer by drilling and bolting through the sheet-metal boom center-part structure or mounted using the included mounting kit.
  • Page 30 If “P” and “T” are connected backwards, no oil will flow though the NORAC block. 4. Connect the “B” ports of the NORAC block to the wing raise lines by removing the wing tilt hoses from the RAU block and fitting them to the NORAC block.
  • Page 31 If “P” and “T” are connected backwards, no oil will flow though the NORAC block. 4. Connect the “A” ports of the NORAC block to the wing lower lines by removing the wing tilt hoses from the RAU block and fitting them to the NORAC block.

  • Page 32: 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.
  • Page 33 7. Choose the dead zone (DZ) up (CW) or down (CCW) setting. Press and hold 8. The valve will turn on at the indicated setting for a short amount of time, dependent on the DZ setting. The screen will show the actual change in height. 9.
