Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the NORAC UC4.5 Spray Height Control System. This system is manufactured with top quality components and is engineered using the latest technology to provide operating reliability unmatched for years to come. When properly used the system can provide protection from sprayer boom damage, improve sprayer efficiency, and ensure chemicals are applied correctly.
General UC4.5 System Layout Figure 1 illustrates the general layout of the UC4.5 system components: Figure 1: General UC4.5 System Layout Do not use high speed power tools/drills when installing hardware. The use of dielectric grease is not recommended on any NORAC electrical connections.
Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 3, following the instructions below. Figure 3: 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 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.

(D). 6. The sensor bracket should be oriented forward (ahead of the boom). 7. Mount the NORAC ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor cable through the sensor tube. A problem can arise if a sensor is not mounted correctly. It is possible for the sensor to read off of the boom instead of the ground.

Wing Bracket Mounting Below is the suggested mounting location for the wing sensor brackets. Mounting location is just inside of the boom break-away section (A). Figure 7: Suggested Bracket Mounting Location (viewed from front) IMPORTANT: Avoid mounting the bracket too close to the touch-down wheel (B).

Main Lift Sensor Installation 1. Mount the main lift bracket (B11) as illustrated in Figure 8. Ensure sensor cable is routed properly and securely fastened. 2. Mount the Ultrasonic sensor to the bracket. Ensure the sensor has a clear view of the ground.
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.

Roll Sensor Mounting Ensure the 6 pin connector is pointing towards the right hand wing (when looking from the rear of the sprayer). Fasten with cable ties. 1. Install one roll sensor (E04) onto the non-rotating part of the boom. 2.
(Bottom of switch pressed IN). Use caution when handling the 12 V power line of the sprayer wiring. 1. Install the UC4.5 Control Panel (E01) in the cab of the sprayer using the included mount (B06). Mount the panel where it will be clearly visible and within easy reach of the operator.

Figure 15: Default Slant Direction Wiring However, if the boom does the opposite of what is described above, it is necessary to swap the E and F wires in the S6 connector of 44658-78 (C12). 12. Connect the 6-pin tower (T6) on the interface cable (C17) to the mating 6-pin shroud (S6) on C11.
2. If any functions do not work, review this manual to check for proper installation. 3. Turn on the power for the UC4.5 Control Panel using the switch on the side of its chassis. 4. The procedure for the installation of the UC4.5 Spray Height Control system is now complete.
