  • Page 9 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.

  • Page 10: Pre-Install Checklist

    4 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.

  • Page 11: Ultrasonic Sensor Installation

    5 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 5, following the instructions below. Figure 5: 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 12 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.
  • Page 15 Main Lift Sensor Installation Figure 9: Main Lift Bracket Assembly 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.

  • Page 16: Roll Sensor Installation

    6 Roll Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly 1. Securely mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the #6 machine screw and nylon lock-nuts. 2. The orientation of the mounted roll sensor to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the bracket mounting.
  • Page 17 Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Center Pivot Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount one to the boom frame – lowest serial number, one to boom carrier frame (intermediate frame - non-pivoting portion of the sprayer) and one to the chassis (reference frame) – highest serial number. For optimal performance, minimize the distance from the boom frame roll sensor to the pivot point (A) and minimize the vertical distance between the intermediate frame roll sensor and the pivot point (B).
  • Page 18 Figure 15: Boom Frame and Intermediate Frame Roll Sensor Mounting (Viewed from the rear of sprayer) 5. The reference frame (chassis) roll sensor will be the roll sensor with the highest serial number and should be mounted on the rear axle airbag base plate as shown in Figure 16. Figure 16: Reference Frame Roll Sensor Mounting 6.

    7 Module Installation Control Module 1. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 17. 2. Securely mount the control module (E01) inside the sprayer cab, using the included brackets, screws or cable ties. 3. Connect the display terminal to the control module using the existing display cable. This cable must be connected to the end of the control module with only one Deutsch connector.

  • Page 21 Figure 20: 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.
  • Page 22 Input Module 1. Install the input module (E03) on the sprayer near the NORAC valve block. Secure it to the boom using the included brackets or cable ties. 2. Connect the free end of the CANbus cable (C02) from the valve module to the input module.

  • Page 23: Connecting The Sensors To The Canbus

    Follow existing cables and hoses to be sure the cable will not be pinched or stretched. Figure 23: UC5 Module Locations and Cable Connections 6. At the sensor brackets, attach a 2-way coupler with terminator (E20) to the sprayer boom.
