1 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the NORAC UC4.5 Spray Height Control System. This system is manufactured with top quality components and is engineered using the latest technology to provide operating reliability unmatched for years to come. When properly used the system can provide protection from sprayer boom damage, improve sprayer efficiency, and ensure chemicals are applied correctly. Please take the time to read this manual completely before attempting to install the system.
2 General UC4.5 System Layout Figure 1 illustrates the general layout of the UC4.5 system components: Figure 1: General UC4.5 System Layout Do not use high speed power tools/drills when installing hardware. The use of dielectric grease is not recommended on any NORAC electrical connections. To ensure all stainless steel hardware does not gall or seize apply a light coating of the supplied Permatex Anti-seize grease to all threaded parts upon installation.

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 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 6: 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.
5.3 Wing Sensor Installation 1. The sensor bracket should be oriented forward (ahead of the boom). 2. 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. 3. Depending on the boom design, some breakaway sections will lift upwards as they break back. 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.
5.4 Rainflap Installation Rainflaps are only installed in the wing sensor brackets and are not installed for 120’ booms. 1. Insert one side of the rainflap rod into the pre-bent hinge tab on the sensor bracket. (Figure 8) Figure 8: Rainflap Rod in Pre-Bent Hinge Tab 2. Align the other side of the rainflap rod with the unbent hinge tab. (Figure 9) Figure 9: Align Rainflap Rod 3.
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 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. Chassis Roll Sensor With Temperature Probe Boom Frame Roll Sensor Figure 13: Roll Sensor Mounting 2. Ensure the roll sensors are relatively level when the sprayer boom and chassis are level. 3. Both roll sensor cables should be pointing towards the right hand wing of the sprayer. 4.
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 14.
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.
Figure 16: Cable Configurations: C03, C11, C12, C13 and C16 7. Connect the 3-pin tower (T3) on cable C16 to S3 on C11. 8. Insert the 2-pin tees (S2A-T2A - S2D-T2D) of C16 between the matching valve connections (Left Up, Left Down, Right Up, Right Down) on the sprayer valve block. 9. Connect the 6-pin shroud on cable C12 to T6 on C11. 10. Insert the 2-pin tees (S2A-T2A and S2B-T2B) of C12 between the matching valve connections (Main Up, Main Down) on the sprayer valve block. 11.
13. Connect the valve interface cable (C03) to connector S6 on the valve extension cable (C11). 14. Connect the 2-pin connectors on the valve interface cable to the NORAC valve block, as shown in Figure 18. 15. 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 18: Valve Cable Connections 16. Fasten the 8-way coupler to the boom with cable ties. Connect P6 on C11 to the 8-way coupler. 17.
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.
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 mounting location is on the cross beam between the parallel lift arms on the main section. 1. A suitable mounting location for the valve block is illustrated in Figure 20. 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.
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 following the schematic in Figure 3. 2. Attach the 90° end of hose H01 to the NORAC valve block pressure port. 3. Route hose H01 to the sprayer valve block. Tee the hose into the sprayer pressure port using a 6FJXR 6MJT fitting (F04). (Figure 21) 4.
Left Tilt Accumulator Right Tilt Accumulator Figure 22: Tilt Accumulator Locations 7. Insert the 8MB 8MJ – 1/32 orifice fittings (F05) into each accumulator. Attach two of the 8FJXR 8MJT fittings (F06) in line on each accumulator as shown in Figure 23. Figure 23: Accumulator Hydraulic Fittings 8. Attach the 90° ends of hoses H02 to the tees installed on the accumulators. Route hoses H02 to the NORAC valve block. 9. Connect hoses H02 to the “B” ports on the NORAC valve block. 10.
9 Software Setup 1. Test the functionality of the original manufacturer’s boom controls. The NORAC Control Panel (E01) does not need to be powered up for the original switches to function. Unfold the booms and raise/lower each boom and 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.
