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. Please read
this manual in its entirety before attempting installation.
ATTENTION:
When installing the UC4 System please be aware that at a point in the installation
your sprayer booms will be inoperative until the installation is complete. Any
installation procedure requiring boom movement will need to be done
first. Once the hydraulics have been disconnected you must complete the electrical
installation before the booms become operative.

4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
4.1 E LECTRICAL I NSTALLATION
Install the UC4 control panel (Item E1) in the cab of the sprayer with the supplied
mounting bracket. Mount the panel where it will be clearly visible and within easy
reach of the operator. The location must facilitate connecting the power and sensor
cables to the bottom of the control panel.
Generally in the cab, a good spot to mount the UC4 control panel is on the right
hand side of the cab to the ROP (Roll Over Protection). Four pilot holes for the
screws provided would need to be drilled to facilitate the mounting of the control
panel.
In the Hagie STS12 cab, a good spot to mount the UC4 control panel is on the right
hand side of the cab, near the front window (Figure 4).
Figure 4 – Control Panel Mounting
1. Connect the UC4 power cable (Item C10) to the UC4 control panel (Item E1) in
the sprayer cab. The cable coming from the Hagie switch handle routes to the
console on the right side of the cab and connects through to the outside with a
24-pin connector. Insert the UC4 power cable between this connection.
