5 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.
6 6.1 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation Ultrasonic Sensor Serial Number Arrangement When installing the UC5 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 UC5 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.
6.2 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.
6.3 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.
6.4 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.
6.5 Rainflap Installation Rainflaps are only installed in the wing sensor brackets. 1. Insert one side of the rainflap rod into the pre-bent hinge tab on the sensor bracket. (Figure 10) Figure 10: Rainflap Rod in Pre-Bent Hinge Tab 2. Align the other side of the rainflap rod with the unbent hinge tab. (Figure 11) Figure 11: Align Rainflap Rod 3. Bend the hinge tab inward over the rainflap rod until the hinge tab fits securely in the detent groove on the backside of the sensor bracket.
6.6 Main Lift Sensor Installation 1. Mount the main lift bracket under the valve block between cross member. The bracket should position the sensor approximately in the center of the sprayer, forward of the boom. An example of this mounting is illustrated in Figure 13. Figure 13: Bracket Mounting Example 2. Mount the ultrasonic sensor to the main lift bracket. Run the sensor cable through hole and behind the bracket. Avoid mounting the main lift sensor over or near a wheel-track.
7 7.1 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.
7.2 Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Center Pivot Booms 1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount one to the boom frame and one to the chassis (non-pivoting 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 16: Roll Sensor Mounting on a Center Pivot Suspended Boom 2. Ensure the roll sensors are relatively level when the sprayer boom and chassis are level. 3.

8 Module Installation An optional module mounting bracket kit is available for purchase from NORAC. The mounting brackets are compatible with control modules and input modules. One kit is needed per module. Item Part Number Name B20 43708 UC5 MOUNTING BRACKET KIT (CONTROL AND INPUT MODULES) 8.1 Quantity 1 Control Module 1. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 19. 2. Securely mount the control module (E01) in the cab or on the sprayer using screws, cable ties or optional brackets.
8.2 Valve Module 1. Install the valve module (E02) to the top of the NORAC valve block. Orient the 6-pin Deutsch (CANbus) connectors towards the “P” and “T” ports with the label facing up. Output Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Normal Function Left Up Left Down Right Up Right Down Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 Figure 20: Valve Module 2. Verify the valve coil connectors are oriented vertically (Figure 21). Figure 21: Align Coils 3. Place the valve module between the valve coils.
Figure 22: Valve Module Bracket Installation 5. Connect the valve module CANbus to cable C01 from the control module. Route cable C02 from the other CANbus connector to the input module. 6. With the valve module securely mounted to the valve block, connect the valve cables (C10), to the valve coils as illustrated in Figure 20 and Figure 23. Insert the 2-pin plugs (P01) into the unused 2-pin connectors on the valve module. 7.
8.3 Input Module 1. Install the input module (E03) on the boom near the Fast valve block. Secure it to the boom using cable ties or optional brackets. Insert the 12 pin plug (P02) into the OEM 3 connector on the end of the input module. 2. Connect the free end of the CANbus cable (C02) from the valve module to the input module. Connect cable C03 to the other CANbus connector. 3. Connect the 12 pin connector on the tilt interface cable (C20) to the Thru 2 connector on the side of the input module. 4.
9 Connecting the Sensors to the CANbus 1. Fasten the 8-way coupler (E11) to the boom with cable ties. 2. Route cable C03 from the input module to the 8-way coupler. 3. Connect both roll sensors to the 8-way coupler. 4. Connect the main lift sensor to the 8-way coupler using cable C02 and a 2-way coupler (E12). Cable C02 and item E12 may not be needed if the 8-way coupler is mounted close enough to the main lift sensor. 5.
10 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 UC5 system warranty.
10.2 Valve Block Mounting 1. Mount the valve block on the center section of the boom as illustrated in Figure 26. 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. If bolts are used instead of the threaded rod, ensure the bolts thread in at least 3/8”. 3. Use the remaining hardware to secure the block to the sprayer. 4. Cut off excess threaded rod, if necessary.
10.3 Hydraulic Plumbing From this point on in the installation the booms will be inoperative until the hydraulics are fully installed. 1. After the NORAC valve is mounted, the hydraulic hoses and fittings can be plumbed. The plumbing for the hydraulic circuit is shown schematically in Figure 3. 2. Insert the 6FJXR-6MJT tee fittings (F02) between the Fast valve block and the existing “raise” lines. 3. Connect hoses H02 to the free end of the fittings F02 and route to the NORAC block. 4.
11 Software Setup 1. Start up the sprayer and test the sprayer’s functionality. The display terminal 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.
