Not all fittings are used for this installation. Do not use high speed power tools/drills when installing hardware. 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.
Pre-Install 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.
Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Ultrasonic Sensor Serial Number Arrangement The UC5 sensors (E05) are mounted in the outer wing and main lift positions. Mount the smallest serial number on the outer left-hand side and proceed to the largest serial number on the outer right-hand side.
Page 13
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 (23 cm) or more from the ground. Ensure that there are no obstructions within a 12-inch diameter circle projected directly below the center of the sensor.
Page 14
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. Figure 7: Bracket Mounting Guidelines A problem can arise if a sensor is not mounted correctly.

Mount the UC5 Ultrasonic sensors (E05) into the outer wing sensor brackets and run the sensor cable either through hole in the back or through the side cut-out and behind the bracket.

An example of this mounting is illustrated in Figure 12. Front Figure 11: Bracket Mounting Example Mount the UC5 Ultrasonic sensor (E05) into the main lift bracket. Run the sensor cable through hole and behind the bracket. Figure 12: Example Mounting of the Main Lift Bracket Avoid mounting the main lift sensor over or near a wheel-track.
Module Installation An optional module mounting bracket kit is available for purchase from NORAC. mounting brackets are compatible with control modules and input modules. One kit is needed per module. Item Part Number Name Quantity 43708 UC5 MOUNTING BRACKET KIT (CONTROL AND INPUT MODULES) Control Module Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 13.

Figure 16: Valve Module Bracket Installation Connect the valve module CANbus to cable C01 from the control module. Route cable C02 from the other CANbus connector to the input module. With the valve module securely mounted to the valve block, connect the valve cables (C10), to the valve coils.
Page 21
Input Module Install the input module (E03) on the boom near the sprayer valve block. Secure it to the boom using cable ties or optional brackets. Connect the free end of the CANbus cable (C02) from the valve module to the input module.
Connecting the Sensors to the CANbus Fasten the 8-way coupler to the boom with cable ties. Connect cable C02 from the input module to the 8-way coupler (E11). Connect the main lift sensor to the 8-way coupler. Attach a 3-way coupler (E10) to the boom at the inner sensor brackets. Connect two cables (C05) to the 8-way coupler and route along the booms to the inner wing sensors.
Component failure due to oil contamination is not covered under the NORAC UC5 system warranty. It is recommended that a qualified technician perform the hydraulic installation.

Valve Block Mounting Mount the valve block on the sprayer near the existing valve block. Insert the threaded rod into the block and use a hex nut to hold the rod. The block holes are 3/8” NC-1” deep. If bolts are used instead of the threaded rod, ensure the bolts thread in at least 3/8”.
