Example:
Note: Not all fittings are required for this kit.
Note: Fittings F05, F06, F07 are not required if the sprayer does not have wing
accumulators.
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 (M06) 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
1. Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 5.
Figure 5: Breakaway Bracket Assembly
2. Apply a small amount of grease to the rotating surfaces of the bracket.
Figure 6: Sensor Bracket Mounting
FRONT

10
5.2 Ultrasonic Sensor Serial Number Arrangement
When installing the 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 sensor has a serial number
stamped on the sensor housing.
Apply a light coating of the supplied Permatex Anti-seize grease (M06) to all
threaded parts upon installation.
Figure 7: Sensor Serial Number Arrangement

11
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 8: Sensor Mounting Guidelines

12
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. Depending on the boom design, some breakaway sections will lift upwards as they break
back. If the sensor is mounted to this portion of the boom, the system will force the boom
downwards towards the ground as the boom folds backwards.
4. Mount the NORAC 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 9: Sensor Reading Off Boom

6Roll Sensor Installation
6.1 Bracket Assembly
1. To mount the roll sensors, the roll sensor brackets will have to be bent. The brackets are
supplied with a 90° bend and must be bent back to a 45° bend.
2. Securely mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the #6 machine
screws.
3. 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 (when looking from the rear of the sprayer).
Figure 10: Mounting Roll Sensor to Bracket
Figure 11: Roll Sensor Orientation - Connector Facing Right Wing

14
6.2 Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Front Mounted Rigid Booms
1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount the roll sensor with the temperature probe on the
boom and the roll sensor without the temperature probe on the chassis near the sprayer
cab.
Figure 12: Roll Sensor Mounting on a Trapeze Suspended Boom
2. Ensure the roll sensors are relatively level when the sprayer boom and chassis are level.
3. Both roll sensor cables should be pointing towards the right hand wing of the sprayer.
4. Ensure both roll sensors are mounted adequately and that the cables provide enough slack
to allow sufficient boom roll.
6.3 Temperature Probe
Once the block is mounted, fasten the temperature probe from E03 to the NORAC valve
block using the included 3/8x1/2” bolt as illustrated in Figure 13.
Figure 13: NORAC Valve Block with Temperature Probe Installed

7Electrical Installation
1. Install the UC4.5 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.
A good spot to mount the UC4.5 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.
Another option is to purchase an adapter for the flexible panel mount that has a 3/8" NC
threaded stud on the end to bolt through an existing mount. These can be found at your
local outdoor store as a RAM mount part number RAM-B-236. (See http://www.ram-
mount.com/)
Figure 14: Cable Configurations: C01, C04, C06 and C10
2. Connect the UC4.5 power cable (C10) to the 16-pin connector on the back of the UC4.5
Control Panel in the cab. Connect C01 to the 4-pin connector on the back of the UC4.5
Control Panel. Cable tie C10 and C01 to the RAM mount to help provide strain relief.
3. Connect C06 to C01 using the 2-way coupler (E12).
4. Connect C04 to the 6-pin tower on C10.
5. Connect the 3-pin power connector from C10 to the power bar on the right hand side of
the cab.

16
Ensure the UC4.5 Control Panel’s power is OFF for the remaining installation.
(Bottom of switch pressed IN).
6. Locate the 16-pin AMP connector attached to the sprayer’s joystick and connect the 16-pin
AMP tee connectors of C10 between this connection.
Figure 15: Joystick Connection
7. There is an access hole located in the front right corner of the cab floor that can be seen
when the floor mat is lifted. Access plates (B16, B17 and B18) which maintain the cab seal
are provided in the UC4.5 kit. Rout C06 and C10 through the small hole and large hole in
the access plate (Figure 16).
Leave the cover plates (B17 and B18) unscrewed at this point.
Figure 16: Access plates configurations

17
Figure 17: Valve Cable configurations Outside of Cab
8. Connect the 6-pin shroud of the valve extension cable (C04) to the 6-pin tower of C10.
The valve extension cable (C04) is packaged with one end not installed. This is
for installation on other sprayer types. Install the included connector as per
the drawing in Section 10. If a mistake is made, use the pin pusher tool
supplied to remove the wires.
If the sprayer has the quick disconnect option, also install the valve disconnect
cable (C02) between C04 and C03.
9. Route C06 and C04 to the front of the sprayer, in the vicinity of the valve block.
10. Connect the valve cable (C03) to C04. Connect the 2-pin connectors on C03 to the
NORAC valve block, as shown in Figure 18.
11. 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.
