Page 8: Height Sensors
3.2 Height Sensors Height sensors use an ultrasonic signal to measure distance to the ground or crop canopy. Normally there is three or five height sensors used. A sensor is mounted to the outer part of each boom tip, and another sensor is mounted to the center section. Two optional sensors may be mounted near the middle of each boom. -

Page 13: Operation
Operation 5.1 Main Run Screen The majority of functional settings and controls can be accessed on the NORAC UC5 main run screen. An image of the boom, with the height of each boom section is displayed. To navigate to the UC5 screens, press the UC5 icon on RMC. -
Page 14: Setting Control Options
5.2 Setting Control Options To change these settings, click the Settings button on the main UC5 screen to display the boom height control options screen as shown in Figure 14. Settings 2/3 Figure 14: Height Control Settings 1/3 Sensitivity: The Sensitivity can be adjusted from 1 to 10, with 5 being the default setting. A lower number will reduce the system sensitivity and improve stability. -

Settings 1/3 Settings 3/3 Figure 15: Height Control Settings 2/3 Main Lift Reaction: The main lift reaction time affects how long the main lift waits between adjustments. The main lift reaction time can be adjusted from 0 to 5. A setting of 1 is slow and a setting of 5 is the fastest reaction time. -
Page 16: Error Indicators
Error Indicators If an error is detected in the system, the Error button will appear on the screen as shown in Figure 16. The boom with the error will go to its Manual state with the ‘M’ or ‘A’ on the display flashing depending on whether the system is in Auto or Manual mode. -
Page 17: Understanding The Uc5™ System
6 Understanding the UC5™ System The UC5™ Spray Height Control system will work well in most situations. As with any equipment, it is important that the operator remains alert at all times. There may be some situations and terrain where performance is limited and in these situations the operator must resume manual control of the booms. -
Page 18: Height Sensor Limitations
Height Sensor Limitations The UC5™ sensors are designed and built specifically for agricultural purposes. However, the ultrasonic transducer must be clean and dry for optimal performance. The foam disc fitted into the bottom of the sensor protects the transducer from dust. If the protective foams become wet from rain or drift from the spray nozzles the sensors may have trouble reading. -
Page 19: Setup
Setup When the sprayer leaves the factory the UC5 system is calibrated and should be performing correctly. The information in the following sections can be used for further calibration and diagnostics. This is intended for expert users. Navigating to the UC5™ Setup Menu To perform either the Automatic or Manual System Setup, the user must navigate to the Setup screen. -
Page 20: Hydraulic Retune
Ensure the booms have sufficient range to lift fully and are clear of any power lines. On occasion it is necessary to recalibrate the hydraulics of the NORAC UC5 Height Control system. When you press the “Retune” button from the Setup screen, the system will go through only the “Hydraulic Tuning”... - Page 21 From the Setup screen, select Retune. A list of precautions will be displayed on the terminal. It is very important that you read these precautions and follow them. Once you have read the precautions, select the Check button. If the list of modules matches the currently installed modules, select the Check button.

When the setup is finished the terminal will instruct you to select the Check button to complete the Retune. Your NORAC UC5™ system is now configured and ready for operation. Boom Geometry Test Select Geometry Test button if you would like to redo the boom geometry test. After selecting this button, the booms will be moved into position and then the display will prompt you to exit the cab and manually push either boom tip down 1 –... -
Page 23: Manual Setup
Manual Setup The UC5™ Height Control system will not operate in Automatic Mode until the system has been configured. It is recommended that the Automatic System Setup be used, but if necessary a Manual System Setup may be used. The Manual Setup involves setting up each sensor, valve output and remote switch input. - Page 24 Once the sensor serial numbers and locations are known, the sensor setup can be performed using the following steps: Navigate to the Sensors screen by selecting the Sensor Setup button as shown in Figure To add a sensor to a boom location, select the sensor location where you want to add the sensor.
- Page 25 7.4.2 Valve Setup Each valve must be setup and tuned correctly for optimum performance from the NORAC UC5™ Spray Height Controller. When setting up the valves, the sprayer booms must have room to move in their full range of motion. Make sure there are no obstructions, such as power lines, that the booms may come into contact with.
- Page 26 Navigate to the Valves screen by selecting the Valve Setup button as shown in Figure 19. To configure a valve driver to a valve function, select the function where you want to configure the driver. Select the appropriate serial number and the channel from the selection box.
- Page 27 7.4.3 Valve Tuning Each valve has two settings; a Deadzone and Gain setting. The Deadzone relates to the smallest amount of movement the valve can produce. The Gain relates to the maximum speed at which the valve can move the boom function. A Deadzone and Gain parameter exists for each valve.
- Page 28 Deadzone Calibration In the Valves screen, select the function that you wish to calibrate. Select the Deadzone button. 1. Automatic Deadzone Calibration Select and hold the Auto button. Continue to hold it until the display says “Test Complete”. This will automatically calibrate the Deadzone value for that function.

Page 31: Maintenance
Maintenance The NORAC Spray Height Control system requires very little maintenance, but there are a few procedures that will ensure the system continues to work correctly for many years. Before each day: It is highly recommended that the sprayer friction pads are greased. To ensure optimum performance this should be done daily. -
