WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 4 Removal of Old System Test the existing sprayer functionality before removing the old system. Do not remove the valve block or any hydraulic components, including any active roll/active wing roll parts; unless directed to do so in the sprayer specific installation guide. 4.1. UC5 Part Removal Remove the following parts: Roll sensors and brackets. Control module (located in the cab). Input module (located on the boom). Valve module (located on the valve block). Replace the following parts: Height sensors and brackets (See section 5 for more information before replacing height sensor brackets). All cables and wiring including the cables connected to the valve block. ...
WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 5 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation If the existing wing sensor brackets match the brackets included with the kit or the factory brackets, are in good condition, and are mounted in the correct location and orientation, they do not need to be replaced. Only the sensor must be replaced. 5.1. 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 5: Bracket Mounting Guidelines Figure 4: Sensor Mounting Guidelines 5.2. 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 5.3. Rainflap Installation If the kit includes rainflaps, install them as shown below ONLY on brackets that face upward when the sprayer is in transport mode. Insert one side of the rainflap rod into the pre‐bent hinge tab on the sensor bracket. (Figure 6) Figure 6: Rainflap Rod in Pre‐Bent Hinge Tab Align the other side of the rainflap rod with the unbent hinge tab. (Figure 7) Figure 7: Align Rainflap Rod Bend the hinge tab inward over the rainflap rod until the hinge tab fits securely in the detent groove on the backside of the sensor bracket. (Figure 8) Figure 8: Bend Rainflap Hinge Tab Ensure the rainflap actuates smoothly when the bracket is turned upside down and returns to the open position when the sensor bracket is returned to its operating position (sensor pointing downwards toward the ground).

WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 5.4. Wing Sensor Installation When installing the MAX Sensors™ (E07), start with the smallest serial number on the left‐hand side and proceed to the largest serial number on the right‐hand side. Each 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. Figure 9: Sensor Serial Number Arrangement The sensor bracket should be oriented forward (ahead of the boom). The best mounting location for the outer wing sensor brackets will typically be near the end of the boom tips, approximately two feet (0.6 m) from the end. Mount the inner wing sensor brackets onto the boom approximately halfway between the tip and center of the sprayer inside the first fold point. Mount the MAX sensors (E07) into the sensor brackets. Torque the M8 nut to 108 in‐lb (12Nm). Run the sensor cable through hole in the back of the bracket. Ensure the cable is clear of moving parts and will not be damaged during folding. Connect cables C05 to the 8‐way coupler and route along the boom. Route cables C05 to the inner sensor bracket. At the inner sensor brackets, attach a 3‐way coupler (E10) to the sprayer boom. Connect cables C05 and the sensor cable to the 3‐way coupler. Connect cables C05 to the 3‐way coupler (E10) and route along the boom to the outer wing sensors.

WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED Figure 13: 45 Degree Adapter Installation (If Needed) 5.5. Main Lift Sensor Installation Ensure the main lift bracket matches one of the images below and that it is mounted in the appropriate location. The sensor must be replaced. Mount the MAX sensor to the main lift bracket. Torque the M8 nut to 108 in‐lb (12Nm). Run the sensor cable through the hole and behind the bracket. Ensure that the cable is oriented toward the cab. Figure 14: Main Lift Bracket Mounting Avoid mounting the main lift sensor over or near a wheel‐track. Measurements from the wheel‐track do not provide an accurate crop height and will cause measurement and control error. Ensure the bracket does not collide with any other part of the sprayer throughout the full range of main lift motion. ...
WWW.NORAC.CA PRECISION DEFINED 6 Electronic Installation 6.1. HCM1 Installation Verify the valve coil connectors are oriented vertically (Figure 15). Loosening the large plastic nut will allow the connector to be rotated. Figure 15: Align Coils Output Number Normal Function 1,2 Left Up and Down 3,4 Right Up and Down 5,6 Main Up and Down 7,8 Roll CW and CCW Figure 16: HCM1 Connections Figure 17: HCM1 Label Place the HCM1 (E01) between the valve coils. Orient the 6‐pin Deutsch (CANbus) connectors towards the “P” and “T” ports with the large label and LEDs facing up. Slide the mounting clips over the connectors of the HCM1 and the valve coil connectors. This may require flexing the plastic bracket slightly. Ensure the clip is pushed over the connectors far enough to allow the clips to engage behind the valve connectors.
