1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the NORAC UC4+ Spray Height Control System. This system is manufactured with top quality components and is engineered using the latest technology to provide operating features and 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.
2 GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Figure 1 depicts the general system layout of the UC4+ Sprayer Boom Control System. Figure 1: System Components and General Location NOTICE: Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this manual. All parts supplied are selected specially to fit the sprayer to facilitate a complete installation. However, NORAC cannot guarantee all parts fit as intended due to the variations of the sprayer by the manufacturer.

4 4.1 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE EXISTING SYSTEM CHECK It is necessary to check the existing system’s functionality before installing the UC4+ Spray Height Control system. You will need a stopwatch or a watch that displays “seconds” for the next step. 1. Drive your sprayer onto a flat piece of land, with unobstructed boom movement (e.g. no power lines). 3. Raise the LEFT boom from its extreme LOW position to the very TOP of its travel. Record the time this takes in Table 4, “Trial #1” for “Left UP”. 2.

4.3 WING SENSOR INSTALLATION 1. Assemble the Breakaway Sensor Mounting Brackets (B11) as show in Figure 4 and Figure 5. d) Install the spring between the collar and the upper ring of the base. e) Insert tube through assembly and tighten the collar 2. Mount the sensor bracket onto the boom. If possible, mount the sensor brackets while the booms are in their folded position to ensure that they will not interfere with anything when the boom is folded for transport.
When installing the UC4+ sensors (E02), start with the smallest serial number on the left hand side proceeding to the largest serial number on the right hand side (Figure 9). 5. Sensor cables should run through the mounting bracket tube and then behind the member the bracket is mounted onto. Cable-tie the connector in place. The cable must not be allowed to hang below the boom (Figure 6).
Apply a light coating of the supplied Permatex Anti-seize grease to all threaded parts upon installation.
4.4 MAIN LIFT SENSOR INSTALLATION 1. Assemble the main lift sensor bracket (B11) as shown in Figure 10. 3. Mount the sensor onto the sensor mounting collar (Figure 11). Sensor Mounting Collar Bracket Tube Sensor Mounting Tab Bracket Base Figure 10: Main Lift Sensor Bracket 2. The bracket can then be mounted to the lowest frame member on the center section of the sprayer.
4.5 ROLL SENSOR INSTALLATION Mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the machine screws and nylon lock nuts, as illustrated in Figure 13. The roll sensors must be mounted tightly to the brackets. When mounting the roll sensors, use the following guidelines and refer to Figure 14. a) The intermediate frame roll sensor must have the lowest serial number and the chassis roll sensor must have the highest serial number.
4.5.1 Boom Frame Mounting Roll Sensor 1. Use the supplied hardware to mount the boom frame roll sensor (E04) as shown in Figure 15. When mounting the boom frame roll sensor follow these guidelines: a) To prevent bending the bracket, ensure bolts are placed as close together as possible (minimize C in Figure 15). b) Be sure to use the roll sensor without the temperature probe (E04). c) When the boom is centered (not rolled over) the roll sensor should be level with respect to the sprayer chassis.
4.5.2 Intermediate Frame Roll Sensor Mounting The intermediate frame roll sensor has the temperature probe on it. 1. It is often best to cable tie the intermediate frame roll sensor in place. When mounting the intermediate frame roll sensor follow the guidelines and refer to Figure 16. The intermediate frame roll sensor must be mounted on a portion of the sprayer that does not pivot and is as close to the boom frame roll sensor as possible (Figure 14).
4.5.3 Reference Frame Roll Sensor Mounting The reference frame roll sensor should be the highest serial number. 2. Ensure the sensor is mounted adequately and that the cable provides enough slack. 1. The reference frame (chassis) roll sensor mounts on the left side of the rear axle below the main up/down coils (Figure 18). The AMP (circular) connector MUST exit towards the right hand wing.
4.6 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION WARNING! The hydraulic system creates very high pressure. Before disconnecting any hydraulic lines ensure all pressure has been bled from the system. When changing the boom hydraulic hoses leave the booms in TRANSPORT POSITION. 3. Install the 6MB-6MJ fittings (F05) into the “B” ports and tighten to 18 ft-lbs. 4. Install the 6MBP plugs (F09) into the “A” ports and tighten to 18 ft-lbs.
4.6.2 Valve Mounting 1. Mount the NORAC valve (V01) on the sprayer using the valve mounting bracket (B10). 2. Screw short side of the threaded rods into the bottom of the valve block at least 3/8". The valve mounting holes are drilled and tapped 3/8 NC-1" deep. 3. Tighten the Hex nuts to hold the rods. 4. Put the mounting bracket on the other side of the tube and tighten with the spring washers and the Hex nuts. 5. Cut excess off of the studs, if necessary.
4.7 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 1. Install the UC4+ 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. ROP A good spot to mount the UC4+ control panel is on the right hand rear side of the cab, near the side window. An adapter for the flexible panel mount that has a 3/8" NC threaded stud on the end to bolt through an existing mount can also be purchased.
Figure 23: Cable Configurations: C10 and C11 2. Connect the UC4+ power cable (C10) to the UC4+ control panel in the sprayer cab. Ensure both plugs (P16 and P4) are connected to the panel Figure 23. Ensure the UC4+ Panel’s power is OFF for the remaining installation (Bottom of switch pressed IN). 3. Connect the 3-pin AMP plug (P3) on C10 to the 3-pin AMP receptacle (R3) on the power pigtail interface cable (C14). Connect the pigtails on C14 to a 12V power connection.
Figure 24: Cable Configurations: C13, C03 and C04 6. Route C11 to the rear of the sprayer, in the vicinity of the valve block. 7. Connect the 3-pin shroud (S3) on the sense cable (C13) to the mating connector (T3) on C11) (Figure 24). 13. 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 on the 44963D block. 8.
16. Route the sensor roll bias cable (C05) to the chassis roll sensor. Follow existing cables and/or hydraulic lines. 17. Route the CAN Node cable (C02B) to the roll sensors. Follow existing cables and/or hydraulic lines. 18. Connect the sensor branch cable (C02) to the 4-pin AMP plug on C02B (Figure 26). 19. Route the sensor branch cable (C02) to the wing and main sensors. Follow existing cables and/or hydraulic lines along the boom. 20. Cable-tie the installed cables every 12 inches. 4.
