Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the NORAC UC5 Spray Height Controller. 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.
Figure 1 illustrates the general layout of the UC5 system components: Figure 1: General UC5 System Layout 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.
Ultrasonic Sensor Installation 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.

1. The sensor bracket should be oriented forward (ahead of the boom). 2. Mount the wing sensor brackets inside of the breakaway sections. 3. Mount the NORAC UC5 ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor cable behind the bracket.

Main Lift Sensor Installation 1. There are a variety of ways to mount the main lift bracket. 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. 2.
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.

Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Center Pivot Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount one to the boom frame and one to the chassis (non-pivoting portion of the sprayer). For optimal performance, minimize the distance between the roll sensors (A) and minimize the height from each roll sensor to the pivot point (B) Figure 11: Roll Sensor Mounting on a Center Pivot Suspended Boom 2.
Module Installation Control Module 1. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 13. 2. Securely mount the control module (E01) inside the sprayer cab, using screws or cable ties. 3. Connect the display terminal to the control module using the display cable. This cable must be connected to the end of the control module with only one Deutsch connector.

Figure 16: 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.

Input Module 1. Install the input module (E03) on the sprayer near the NORAC valve block. Secure it to the boom with cable ties. 2. Connect the free end of the CANbus cable (C02) from the valve module to the input module.
Connecting the Sensors to the CANbus 1. Route cable C03 from the input module to the 8-way coupler (E11). 2. Connect both roll sensors to the 8-way coupler. Fasten the 8-way coupler to the boom with cable ties. 3. Connect the main lift sensor to the 8-way coupler using cable C04 and a 2-way coupler (E12).
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. Cut off excess threaded rod, if necessary. Figure 22: Valve Block Mounting Ensure that the temperature probe from the Valve Module is attached to the NORAC valve block as shown in the green square in Figure 22. This is NOT a ground connection.

(*F04) between the hoses and the valve block. Connect two hydraulic hoses (*H01) from the free ends of the tees to the “B” ports on the NORAC valve block. Connect the 90 degree end of the hoses to the NORAC valve block.
Software Setup 1. Start up your 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 are agreeable to the entire range of motion.
