Figure 1 – System Components and General Location
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 mo ement will
need to be done first. Once the hydraulics
have been disconnected you must complete
the electrical installation before the booms
become operative

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.

4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
4.1 S ENSOR I NSTALLATION
Mounting the sensor bracket to
the break-away section of the
boom may cause the boom to drop
suddenly as a break-away occurs.
This will occur on break-away
sections which lift as they break
away.
For optimal boom tip protection, it
is recommended that the sensor be
mounted within approximately
two feet (60cm) of the boom tip.
When installing the UC4+ sensors
(E02), start with the smallest serial
number on the left hand side
proceeding to the largest serial
number on the right hand side
(Figure 6).
A oid mounting sensors in
locations where they may read
from parts of the boom as shown
in Figure 4.
Figure 4 - Poor Mounting
(Sensor reading off boom)
General mounting rules for UC4+
ultrasonic sensors:
a) In its lowest position, the sensor mouth
must be 9 inches or more from the
ground
b) The bottom of the sensor must be at least
9 inches in front of the spray nozzles
c) The bottom of the sensor must be at least
9 inches above the spray nozzles
d) Ensure that there are no obstructions
within a 12-inch diameter circle
projected directly below the center of the
sensor
e) The sensor should be approximately
vertical at normal operating heights

4.2 R OLL S ENSOR I NSTALLATION
Mount the roll sensors to the included roll
sensor brackets using the machine screws
and nylon lock nuts (Figure 7)
The roll sensors must be mounted
tightly to the brackets.
Figure 7 – Mounting the Roll Sensor to the
Roll Sensor Mounting Bracket
When mounting the roll sensors use the
following guidelines and refer to Figure 8
a) The smaller the distance between A and
B in Figure 8, the better the
performance will be
Distance A can not be more than 12”.
b) The roll sensors must not be mounted
below the pivot point
c) Ensure the roll sensors are sitting
relatively level when the sprayer chassis
and boom are level
d) Both roll sensors must be mounted with
the circular AMP connector facing
towards the Right-Hand Wing (when
looking from the rear of the sprayer)

4.2.1 Boom Roll Sensor Mounting
The boom roll sensor (E02) must be
mounted to the rotating part of the boom
Follow these guidelines and refer to
Figure 11 to mount the sensor
a) Make sure you are using the roll
sensor that does NOT have a
temperature probe (only one cable)
(E02)
b) The boom roll sensor must be
mounted to the rotating part of the
boom suspension
c) Use cable-ties to secure the bracket
to a square edge feature (square
tube)
d) Ensure the AMP (circular)
connector exits towards the Right
Hand Wing (when looking from the
rear of the sprayer)
e) Securely cable-tie the connector to
the frame
4.2.2 Chassis Roll Sensor Mounting
The chassis roll sensor must be mounted
to a non-rotating part of the boom To
mount the chassis roll sensor, follow the
following guidelines and refer to Figure
11
a) Make sure you are mounting the roll
sensor that does have a temperature
probe (2 cables) (E03)
b) Mount the chassis roll sensor (E03)
to a non-rotating part of the boom
c) Cable-tie the bracket to a square
edge feature (square tube)
d) The AMP (circular) connector
MUST exit towards the Right Hand
Wing (when looking from the rear)
e) Securely cable-tie the connector to
the frame

4.2.3 Inverted Roll Sensor Mounting
If desired, the Roll sensor may be
mounted inverted, so long as the
connector exits towards the right-hand
boom Inverted mounting may be used
to optimize the mounting criteria
explained in Section 4.2
Figure 12 – In erted Roll Sensor Mounting may be Applicable for Optimal Performance
4.2.4 Temperature probe
Fasten the temperature probe (E03) to the
UC4 valve block using the included
3/8x1/2” bolt as illustrated in Figure 13
Figure 13 – UC4+ Val e Block with
Temperature Probe Installed

4.3 H YDRAULIC I NSTALLATION
Depending on the al e block part
number, the A and B ports may be
re ersed. Ensure that the orifices are
oriented properly for the A and B ports
or the system will not function properly.
4.3.1 Valve Mounting
1 On a clean surface remove all plastic
plugs from the NORAC hydraulic Valve
(V01) (Figure 14)
44963D
44933D
Figure 14 – NORAC Val e Block
2 Install the orifices (F06) into the “B”
ports with the notch facing outward as
shown in Figure 15
44963D
44933D
Figure 15 – Val e Block Assembly
3 Install the 6MB-6MJ fittings (F04) into
the “B” ports and tighten to 18 ft-lbs
4 Install the 6MB-plugs (F05) into the “A”
ports and tighten to 18 ft-lbs
5 Mount the NORAC valve (V01) to the
sprayer in a suitable location

15
4.3.2 H draulic Plumbing
1 After the NORAC valves are mounted,
the hydraulic hoses and fittings can be
plumbed The plumbing for the
hydraulic circuit is shown schematically
in Figure 3
2 The “raise” lines must be connected to
the “B” ports of the NORAC valve
block Insert the “T” fittings (F02) to the
sprayer block and connect the “raise”
lines Connect the hoses to the open
ports on F02 and the “B” ports of the
NORAC block
The “T” fittings are inserted into
the hydraulic circuit to allow the
NORAC al e block to control the
cylinders in parallel with the
existing system.
3 Tee in the pressure (“P”) and tank (“T”)
lines for the NORAC block in to the
existing lines from the valve block,
using the “T” fitting (F03)
4 Connect the “A” and “B” ports on the
expansion block to the linear roll
cylinder, as shown in Figure 3
You must ensure there are no
other orifices present in the circuit
between the NORAC al e block
and the boom cylinders.
You must ensure no hydraulic
components will interfere with any
sprayer parts or be pulled tight at
any time.
Ensure all air is bled from the roll
cylinder hydraulic lines before
proceeding.
