  • Page 12: 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 13: Ultrasonic Sensor Installation

    5 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 6, following the instructions below. Figure 6: 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 14 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 15 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 16 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 17 Main Lift Sensor Installation 1. Drill a 3/8” hole in the end of the red mounting bracket (HD13) as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10: Drilling the main lift sensor bracket 2. Mount the bracket onto the sprayer’s center section using the M6 bolt (HD10) and nut (HD11).

  • Page 18: 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 19 Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Trapeze-Suspended Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount one to the trapeze link (boom frame) and one to the trapeze support (chassis). For optimal performance, minimize the distance from the boom frame roll sensor to the pivot point (A) and minimize the vertical distance between the chassis roll sensor and the pivot point (B).

  • Page 22: Module Installation

    7 Module Installation Control Module 1. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 18. 2. Securely mount the control module (E01) near the hitch of the sprayer, near the display terminal connections. 3. Connect the display terminal to the control module using the existing display CAN-bus cable. This cable must be connected to the end of the control module with only one Deutsch connector.

  • Page 24 4. Ensure the bracket is pushed over the connectors far enough to allow the clips to engage behind the valve connectors. Figure 21: Valve Module Bracket Installation 5. Connect the valve module CAN-bus to cable C01 from the control module. Route cable C02 from the other CAN-bus connector to the input module.
  • Page 25 Input Module 1. Install the input module (E03) on the boom near the Hardi valve block. Secure it to the boom with cable ties. 2. Connect the free end of the CAN-bus cable (C02) from the valve module to the input module.

  • Page 26: Connecting The Sensors To The Can-Bus

    Follow existing cables and hoses to be sure the cable will not be pinched or stretched. Figure 24: UC5 Module Locations and Cable Connections 5. At the sensor brackets, attach a 3-way coupler (E10) to the sprayer boom. Plug the sensor and the CAN-bus cable into the 3-way coupler.

    Valve Assembly: Single Acting 1. On a clean surface remove the plastic plugs from the block. 2. Install two 3/8” x 1/4” BSPP (HD01) fittings into the P and T ports on the NORAC block. Tighten to 18 ft-lbs (24 Nm).
  • Page 28 Valve Assembly: Double Acting 1. On a clean surface remove the plastic plugs from the block. 2. Install two 3/8” x 1/4” BSPP (HD01) fittings into the P and T ports on the NORAC block. Tighten to 18 ft-lbs (24 Nm).
  • Page 29 Valve Block Mounting 1. A suitable mounting location for the valve block is illustrated in Figure 27. 2. Insert the threaded rod into the block and use a hex nut to hold the rod. The block holes are 3/8” NC-1” deep. If bolts are used instead of the threaded rod, ensure the bolts thread in at least 3/8”.
  • Page 30 Figure 3. 2. Install the 90 degree fittings on hoses HD06 onto the “B” ports on the NORAC valve block. 3. Route the free ends of the hoses to each of the wing tilt cylinders.
  • Page 31 Figure 4. 2. Install the 90 degree fittings on hoses HD06 onto the “A” ports on the NORAC valve block. 3. Install the 90 degree fittings on hoses HD07 onto the “B” ports on the NORAC valve block.

  • Page 32: Software Setup

    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 30).
