Example:
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.
Permatex Anti-seize lubricant is preferred, but other similar anti-seize products
may be used.

4Pre-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. Not all sprayers will have the functions listed below in Figure 4.
Ensure the boom has sufficient travel so it does not contact the ground during
these tests.
Figure 4: Pre-Install Boom Speeds

5Ultrasonic Sensor Installation
5.1 Bracket Assembly
Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 5, following the instructions
below.
Figure 5: Breakaway Bracket Assembly
1. Compress the spring and insert it together with the collar into the base.
2. Slide the tube through the assembled part.
3. Using the bolt and nut, tighten the collar to the tube with the sensor tube centered.
4. Apply a small amount of grease to the rotating surfaces of the bracket.
5. To install the sensor brackets on the 45 degree tube, use the sensor adapter plate B12.

5.2 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.
Figure 6: Sensor Serial Number Arrangement

5.3 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 (A).
2. The centerline of the acoustic cone should be approximately vertical at normal operating
heights (A).
3. The bottom of the sensor must be at least 9 inches in front of the spray nozzles and boom
structure (B). (This does not apply for the main lift sensor)
4. The bottom of the sensor must be at least 9 inches above the spray nozzles (C).
5. Ensure there are no other obstructions with a 12 inch (23 cm) diameter circle projected
directly below the sensor (D).
Figure 7: Sensor Mounting Guidelines

11
5.4 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. Mount the NORAC UC5 ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor
cable through the sensor tube.
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. This may only become
apparent once the control system is switched from soil to crop mode.
Also be careful that the sensor bracket does not collide with any other part of the
boom when the boom is folded to transport position. If possible, mount the sensor
brackets while the booms are folded to ensure they will not cause interference.
Figure 8: Sensor Reading Off Boom

12
5.5 Main Lift Sensor Installation
Figure 9: Main Lift Bracket Assembly
1. There are a variety of ways to mount the main lift bracket on most sprayers. 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 10.
2. Mount the ultrasonic sensor to the main lift bracket. Run the sensor cable down the center
of the main lift bracket tube.
Figure 10: Example Mounting of the Main Lift Bracket
Ensure the bracket does not collide with any other part of the sprayer throughout
the full range of main lift motion.

13
6Roll Sensor Installation
6.1 Bracket Assembly
1. Securely mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the #6 machine
screw and nylon lock-nuts.
2. The orientation of both roll sensors 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.

Figure 12: Roll Sensor Orientation - Connector Facing Right Wing

14
6.2 Boom-Frame Roll Sensor Mounting
1. Install the roll sensor with the lowest serial number onto the top part of the center boom
section on the left hand side of the boom. The roll sensor must be mounted with the
connector facing the right boom.
Figure 13: Hagie Boom Frame Roll Sensor Mounting
Ensure the boom frame roll sensor does not collide with any parts and the cable
has sufficient slack for the boom to travel though its entire range of motion.
6.3 Chassis Roll Sensor Mounting
1. Mount the roll sensor with the highest serial number on the main sprayer chassis, with the
cable facing the right hand wing.
2. A common mounting location is in front of the left hand side air bag, near the location
where the main lift cylinder attaches to the frame.
Figure 14: Hagie Boom Frame Roll Sensor Mounting

7Module 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 Quantity
B20 43708 UC5 MOUNTING BRACKET KIT (CONTROL AND INPUT MODULES) 1
7.1 Control Module
1. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 15.
2. Securely mount the control module (E01) with the lowest serial number inside the sprayer
cab, using screws, cable ties or optional brackets.
3. Connect cable C21 between the control module and the display cable. Cable C21 must be
connected to the end of the control module with only one Deutsch connector.
4. Connect the power cable (C30) to one of the two CANbus connectors on the control
module. Be sure that the power is connected to a switched power supply.
5. Route cable C01 from the other CANbus connector to the cab knock outs.
Figure 15: Control Module Mounting

16
7.2 Virtual Input Module
1. Open the drop down door located directly beneath the sprayer cab (Figure 17).
Figure 16: Drop Down Access Panel beneath the Cab
2. Locate the CANbus interface cable as shown in Figure 17. This connector should be
marked with DL-3.

3. Disconnect the CANbus interface connectors and insert the NORAC CANbus interface
cable (C20) between the two connectors.
4. Connect the 6 pin connector on cable C20 to the control module with the highest serial
number. This connection must go into the end of the control module with only one
connector.
5. Securely fasten the control module into the access panel area.
6. Connect cable C02 to one of the remaining 6 pin connectors on the control module. This
connection must be on the end of the module with two connectors.
7. Route cable C02 to the cab and connect to cable C01.
8. Connect cable C03 to the last connector on the control module.
9. Route cable C03 to cable C04.
