Page 8: Pre-Installation Checklist
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 2. Ensure the boom has sufficient travel so it does not contact the ground during these tests.

Page 9: Ultrasonic Sensor Installation
WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 5 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation 5.1. Ultrasonic Sensor Serial Number Arrangement The MAX Sensors™ (E07) are mounted in the outer wing positions with the lowest serial number on the left side and the highest serial number on the right 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. Figure 3: Sensor Serial Number Arrangement Visit www.solutions.norac.ca for more system Page 6 installation and troubleshooting info. ... - Page 10 WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 5.2. 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 5: Bracket Mounting Guidelines Figure 4: Sensor Mounting Guidelines 5.3. 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.

- Page 11 WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 5.4. Rainflap Installation Rainflaps are only installed if the sensor face will be pointing up when the booms are folded. Insert one side of the rainflap rod into the pre‐bent hinge tab on the sensor bracket. (Figure 6) Figure 6: Rainflap Rod in Pre‐Bent Hinge Tab Align the other side of the rainflap rod with the unbent hinge tab. (Figure 7) Figure 7: 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 8) Figure 8: 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).

- Page 12 WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 5.5. Wing Sensor Installation 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 two feet (0.6 m) from the end. Mount the sensor into the sensor bracket. Run the sensor cable through hole and behind the bracket. Ensure the cable is clear of moving parts and will not be damaged during folding.

Cabling Connections Fasten the 8‐way coupler to the boom with cable ties. Connect cable C02 between the 8‐way coupler (E11) and the 6‐pin NORAC bus connector on the HCM1. NORAC Bus Figure 12: NORAC Bus Location Connect cable C05 to the 8‐way coupler and route along the boom to the outer wing sensors. At the sensor brackets, attach a 2‐way coupler with terminator (E20) to the sprayer boom. The 2‐way coupler with terminator is the white 2‐way coupler. Plug the sensor and the CANbus cable into the 2‐way coupler. Insert the 6 pin plugs (P03) into the remaining receptacles of the 8‐way coupler.

Page 16: Software Setup
WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 7 Software Setup Start up the sprayer and test the sprayer’s functionality. The display terminal 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. Confirm that the cabling and hoses do not pinch, stretch or bind over the entire range of motion. If any functions do not work, review the hydraulic and electrical portions of this manual to check for proper installation. Turn on the power for the display terminal using the switch on the side. The procedure for the installation of the UC7™ Boom Height Control system is now complete. Begin the Automatic System Setup procedure as described in the UC7 Technical Operation Manual for Standard Control.
