SIZE 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.
Pre-Install Checklist The pre-install checklist is necessary to check the existing sprayer functionality before the installation. 1. Unfold the sprayer over a flat, unobstructed area (i.e. no power lines…etc.). 2. Ensure all boom-fold operations are functional (place a check mark in boxes below). 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 13
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 14
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 1. There are a variety of ways to mount the main lift bracket on most sprayers. The bracket should position the sensor approximately in the center of the sprayer, forward of the boom. An example of this mounting is illustrated in Figure 8. Figure 8: 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 1.

Figure 12: Valve Module Bracket Installation 5. Connect the valve module CANbus to cable C01 from the control module. Route cable C02 from the other CANbus connector to the input module. 6. With the valve module securely mounted to the valve block, connect the valve cables (C10), to the valve coils.

44602-01 BOX SWITCH UC4 REMOTE HAND CONTROL VER.1 RMR 43240-26 CABLE UC5 SWITCH BOX 1. Disconnect cable C20 (grey side connector) from the Input Module (E03). Remove the wedge from the face of the 12 pin Deutsch plug. 2. Insert the Roll CW pin from C26 into position 3 of the 12 pin plug on C20. Insert the Roll CCW pin from C26 into position 4 of the 12 pin plug on C20.
Follow existing cables and hoses to be sure the cable will not be pinched or stretched. Figure 16: UC5 Module Locations and Cable Connections 5. At the sensor brackets, attach a 2-way coupler with terminator (E20) to the sprayer boom.
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.

4. Align the spring target by rotating the metal casing around the linear roll cylinder. 5. Mount the sensor bracket to the damper end (the end with no hoses). A straight edge can be used to line up the spring target with the center of the hole on the sensor mounting bracket.

F02 and to the “B” ports of the NORAC block. 3. Tee in the pressure and tank lines (*H01) for the NORAC block in to the existing lines on the Fast valve block, using the tee fitting (F03).
Begin the AUTOMATIC SYSTEM SETUP procedure as described in the UC5 Spray Height Control Operator’s Manual. 5. For optimal performance of the UC5 system, there should be very little play at the hitch clevis. The addition of polymer washers can help tighten up this connection (Figure 22).
