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. Bring engine to field-operational RPM and record below. 4. Record the time (seconds) it takes for a full stroke for all boom functions. To ensure repeatable measurements, take the average of 3 trials. 5.
5 5.1 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Ultrasonic Sensor Serial Number Arrangement When installing the 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 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.
5.2 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. 2. Ensure that there are no obstructions within a 12-inch diameter circle projected directly below the center of the sensor. 3.
5.3 Low Profile Bracket Mounting Guidelines 1. Minimize the distance between the bolts to prevent bending the bracket and prevent the bracket from loosening over time. 2. Ensure the bracket is mounted tight against the bottom of the boom, minimizing the distance between the boom structure and the angled flange. Figure 7: Bracket Mounting Guidelines A problem can arise if a sensor is not mounted correctly. It is possible for the sensor to read off of the boom instead of the ground.
5.4 Wing Sensor Installation 1. The wing sensor mounting brackets (B20) are the two brackets with the shorter mounting flange. 2. The sensor bracket should be oriented forward (ahead of the boom). 3. Typically the best mounting location for the wing sensor brackets will be near the end of the boom tips, approximately two feet (60cm) from the end. 4. Depending on the boom design, some breakaway sections will lift upwards as they break back.
6 6.1 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. The roll sensor CANbus connector must be pointing towards the right side of the sprayer (when looking from the rear of the sprayer).
6.2 Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Center Pivot Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount the roll sensor without the temperature probe on the boom frame and the roll sensor with the temperature probe on the chassis (nonpivoting portion of the sprayer). For optimal performance, minimize the distance between the roll sensors (A) and minimize the height from each roll sensor to the pivot point (B). Figure 12: Roll Sensor Mounting on a Center Pivot Suspended Boom 2.
Chassis Roll Sensor Boom Roll Sensor Figure 14: Roll Sensor Mounting (Viewed from Rear of Sprayer) 6.3 Temperature Probe Once the block is mounted, fasten the temperature probe from E03 to the NORAC valve block using the included 3/8x1/2” bolt as illustrated in Figure 15.
6.4 Link Arm Pin Replacement The John Deere link arm located between the black tee frame and the boom must have the top pin replaced. Remove the Top pin from the arm and insert the supplied pin (B18). Replacing this pin removes some free movement on the boom and will improve performance. Figure 16 shows a link arm, but this is often an aluminum color. The bottom bolt must be tightened to 266 ft-lbs.
7 Electrical Installation 1. Install the UC4.5 Control Panel (E01) in the cab of the sprayer. Mount the panel where it will be clearly visible and within easy reach of the operator. A good spot to mount the UC4.5 control panel is on the right hand side of the cab to the Roll Over Protection Bar. Four pilot holes for the screws provided need to be drilled to facilitate the control panel mounting.
Cab Exit Figure 18: Hole under Floor Mat Figure 19: Alternate Cab Exit for Cabling The hole in the floor may be too small for the connector. In this situation the cable can be routed out the back of the cab through an opening close to the bottom of the rear, right window (Figure 19). 5. Connect P12/P6 on C10 to R12/R6 of C11. 6. Route C11 to the rear of the sprayer near the sprayer valve block. Run the cables along the sprayer frame with the JD harness. Figure 20: Cable Configurations: C03 and C13 7.
Connector Connector Location Figure 21: Load Sense Jam Valve Connector 9. Connect the 6-pin tower on the valve cable (C03) to the 6-pin shroud on C11. 10. Connect the 2-pin connectors on C03 to the NORAC valve block, as shown in Figure 22. 11. The connectors on the valve cable (C03) are marked RIGHT UP, LEFT UP, RIGHT DOWN and LEFT DOWN. Cables labeled with UP go on the same side as the hydraulic hoses. Figure 22: Valve Cable Connections 12. Fasten the 8-way coupler to the boom with cable ties.
15. At the sensor brackets, attach a 2-way coupler with terminator (E20) to the sprayer boom. The 2-way coupler with terminator is the white two way coupler. Plug the sensor and the CANbus cable into the 2-way coupler. IMPORTANT: Provide enough slack in all cables to account for the movement of the main section, parallel lift, and FOLDING boom movement.
8 Hydraulic Installation 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 UC4.5 system warranty.
5. Remove the plug from the Sense Line Bleed port. Location is shown in Figure 24. Gently tap the plug with a hammer to loosen it before attempting to remove it. Remove the Sense Line Bleed Orifice and discard. 6. Install the setscrew (F15) into the Sense Line Bleed Orifice location. Ensure the setscrew is threaded entirely into the hole and tightened to 35-40 in-lbs to ensure a tight seal. Reinstall the plug and tighten to 35-40 in-lbs.
8.2 Valve Block Mounting Ensure that no hydraulic components will interfere with any sprayer parts or be pulled tight at any time. The recommended location for the valve is on the angled cross tube of the parallel linkage on the sprayer. Orient the valve block so the "A" and "B" ports face towards the boom (Figure 25). 1. A suitable mounting location for the valve block is illustrated in Figure 25. 2. Insert the threaded rod into the block and use a hex nut to hold the rod.
8.3 Hydraulic Plumbing From this point on in the installation the booms will be inoperative until the hydraulics are fully installed. 1. After the NORAC valves are mounted, the hydraulic hoses and fittings can be plumbed. The plumbing for the hydraulic circuit is shown schematically in Figure 3. 2. Connect the NORAC supplied hoses (H02) to the Pressure (“P”) and Tank (“T”) ports on the NORAC valve block (V01).

9 Software Setup 1. Start up the sprayer and test the sprayer’s functionality. The NORAC control panel 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. 2. If any functions do not work, review the hydraulic and electrical portions of this manual to check for proper installation. 3. Turn on the power for the UC4.
