WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 4 Pre‐Installation 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. Record the time (seconds) it takes for a full stroke for all boom functions. To ensure repeatable measurements, take the average of 3 trials. Not all sprayers will have the functions listed below in Figure 3. Ensure the boom has sufficient travel so it does not contact the ground during these tests. Figure 3: Pre‐Install Boom Speeds Visit www.solutions.norac.ca for more system ...
Ensure all pressure has been bled from the system before disconnecting any lines or fittings. Hydraulic pressure will exist on the wing tilt circuits unless the wings are being supported by other means. The hydraulic installation may be performed with the wings in transport position, resting on the ground or with the tilt cylinders fully extended. Component failure due to oil contamination is not covered under the NORAC system warranty. It is recommended that a qualified technician perform the hydraulic installation. 5.1.

WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 6 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation 6.1. 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 (230 mm) or more from the ground. Ensure that there are no obstructions within a 12 inch (300 mm) diameter circle projected directly below the center of the sensor. The sensor should be approximately vertical at normal operating heights. Figure 18: Bracket Mounting Guidelines Figure 17: Sensor Mounting Guidelines 6.2. 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. A problem can arise if a sensor is not mounted correctly. This may only become apparent once the control system is switched from soil to crop mode. Be careful that the sensor bracket does not collide with any other part of the boom when the boom is folded to transport position. If possible, mount the sensor brackets while the booms are folded to ensure they will not cause interference.

WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 6.3. Wing Sensor Installation Each sensor has a serial number stamped on the sensor housing. Figure 19: Sensor Serial Number Arrangement The sensor bracket should be oriented forward (ahead of the boom). Typically, the best mounting location for the outer wing sensor brackets will be near the end of the boom tips, approximately two feet (0.6 m) from the end (Figure 20). Mount the bracket using the u‐bolts (M08) and lock nuts (M09).
