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 7, “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 smaller the distance between A and B in Figure 14, the better the performance will be. Distance A cannot be more than 12”. b) The roll sensors must not be mounted below the pivot point.
* The boom frame roll sensor does not have a temperature probe Figure 15: Roll Sensor Mounting with Respect to Sprayer Orientation 4.5.1 Boom Roll Sensor Mounting 4.5.2 Chassis Roll Sensor Mounting The boom roll sensor (E04) must be mounted to the rotating part of the boom. Follow these guidelines and refer to Figure 16 to mount the sensor. The chassis roll sensor must be mounted to a non-rotating part of the boom. To mount the chassis roll sensor, follow the following guidelines and refer to Figure 16.
E03 E04 Figure 16: Boom and Chassis Roll Sensors Correctly Mounted 4.5.3 Inverted Roll Sensor Mounting If desired, the Roll sensor may be mounted inverted, so long as the connector exits towards the right-hand boom. Inverted mounting may be used to optimize the mounting criteria explained in Section 4.5. Figure 17: Inverted Roll Sensor Mounting may be Applicable for Optimal Performance 4.5.
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 orifices (F01) into the "B" ports with the notch facing outward as shown in Figure 20. 4. Install the male adapters (F02) into the "B" ports and tighten to 18 ft-lbs. 5. Install the plugs (F03) 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. As shown in Figure 21, 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. Cut excess off of the rods, if necessary.
4.6.3 Hydraulic Plumbing WARNING! From this point in the installation the booms will be inoperative until the electronics 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. The “raise” lines from the side of the cylinders, which raise the booms, must be connected to the “B” ports of the NORAC valve block. Disconnect the existing 3/4" “raise” lines on the boom cylinder end.

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 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.
3. Connect R16 on the hand control interface cable (C15) to P16B on C10. 4. Connect R3 on the power pigtail interface cable (C14) to P3 on C10. 5. There is an access hole to the sprayer electrical panel on the front right corner. Route the free end of C14 to the electrical panel through this hole. 6. In the electrical panel towards the front of the sprayer, wire the C14 to +12V and the Ground. Each polarity is wire. Refer to for recommended +12V connections inside of panel.
Figure 28: Access Plates Configurations Figure 29: Access Panel and Plates Figure 30: Cable Configurations: C11, C12, C13 and C03 10. Route C11 to the rear of the sprayer, in the vicinity of the valve block. the MAIN UP and MAIN DOWN connections to the Rogator valve block. 11. Connect S6 on the Interface cable (C12) to T6A on C11 (Figure 30). The tee, P2B-R2B (labeled MAIN UP), is not used for this installation. Leave it unplugged. 12. Route the free end of C12 to the Rogator valve block. 13.
connectors of C12 (R2D, R2E, R2F and R2G) to the matching connectors of Rogator cable(s), which are unplugged in STEP 14. For each connector, the function (e.g. “LEFT UP”) is labeled on the branch wire of C12. 16. If there is a bypass/jam valve (SV6), insert the tee (P2-R2) on C13 between the bypass/jam valve connection on SV6 (Figure 32). 17. Connect the 6-pin Tower on the valve cable (C03) onto S6A on C13 (Figure 30).
18. Connect the 6-pin Tower on the valve cable (C3) onto the mating connector (S6A) on C11. 19. 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. to the sensors. Follow existing cables and/or hydraulic lines along the boom. 25. Cable-tie the installed cables every 12 inches. Figure 33: Cable Configurations: C11, C02 and C02B Figure 33: Valve Cable Connections 20.
4.8 COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION 1. Start up your sprayer and test the sprayer’s functionality. The NORAC Control Panel 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.
