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 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.

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. Apply a light coating of the supplied Permatex Anti-seize grease to all threaded parts upon installation.
Page 17
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 18
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 19
Main Lift Sensor Installation Figure 10: 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.
Roll Sensor Installation Bracket Assembly 1. Securely mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the #6 machine screws. Tighten screws to 10 in-lbs (1.1 Nm). 2. The orientation of the mounted roll sensor to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the bracket mounting.
Page 21
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).

Figure 21: 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 27
Input Module 1. Install the input module (E03) on the boom near the Hardi valve block. Secure it to the boom using cable ties or optional brackets 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 C02 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.

10.5 Valve Block Mounting Ensure that no hydraulic components will interfere with any sprayer parts or be pulled tight at any time. The recommended mounting location is on the rear of the boom main section near the Hardi valve block. 1.
11 Software Setup 1. Start up the 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.
