Some sprayers may require different cabling depending on the connectors used near the valve block. Please
refer to the table below for ordering alternate cabling from NORAC. A complete list of alternate cabling can
be found in the UC7™ Generic Cable Ordering Guide (P/N: UC7-BC-CABLE-GUIDE) which is available at

4Pre‐Installation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3.

Ensuretheboomhassufficienttravelsoitdoesnotcontactthegroundduringthesetests.

thatmaybeneeded.

Fromthispointonintheinstallationtheboomswillbeinoperativeuntilthehydraulicsarefullyinstalled.
1. AftertheNORACvalveblockismounted,thehydraulichosesandfittingscanbeplumbed.Theplumbing
forthehydrauliccircuitisshownschematicallyinFigure2.

Thefollowingstepsareonlyforsprayerswithaccumulatorsonthetiltcylinders.
1. Removethe8MB‐8MORfittingfromthewingaccumulators.
2. Installa6MOR‐8FORXfitting(F05)intothewingaccumulator.
3. Attachan8MOR‐6FORfitting(F07)ontofittingF05withtheinlineorifice(F06)betweenthetwofittings.

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.

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(230mm)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(230mm)abovethespraynozzles(C).
5. Ensuretherearenootherobstructionswithina12inch(300mm)diametercircleprojecteddirectlybelow

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

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
