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.

4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
4.1 MAIN LIFT SENSOR
With the UC4+ Roll Sensor Upgrade, the
aluminum target rod installed on the sprayer is
no longer required. Remove this rod from your
sprayer. The rod is found aligned under the
main lift sensor, which is usually mounted to the
left of the boom’s center section.
The main lift height sensor must also be moved.
Remove the main lift sensor bracket and follow
the steps below.
1. The bracket can be mounted to the lowest
frame member on the center section of the
sprayer. The bracket should be mounted so
the sensor mounting collar is in
approximately the center of the sprayer and
ahead of the boom (Figure 3 and Figure
5).
The sensor mounting collar must
not be behind the sprayer’s wheel.
The General Mounting Rules for
UC4+ Ultrasonic Sensors, listed on
the next page, must be followed.
Figure 3 – Main Lift Sensor Bracket Mounting Position

5
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 ROLL SENSOR INSTALLATION
Before installing the roll sensors you must
determine if your sprayer has a trapeze style or
center pivot style boom. For installation on a
trapeze style boom refer to Section 4.3. For
installation on a center pivot boom refer to
Section 4.4.

4.3 ROLL SENSOR INSTALLATION (TRAPEZE STYLE BOOMS)
Mount the roll sensors to the included roll
sensor brackets using the machine screws
and nylon lock nuts. (Figure 8)
The roll sensors must be mounted
tightly to the brackets.
Figure 8 – Mounting the Roll Sensor to
the Roll Sensor Mounting Bracket
When mounting the roll sensors, use the
following guidelines and refer to Figure 9.
a) The smaller the distance between Aand
Bin Figure 9, the better the
performance will be.
b) Ensure the roll sensors are sitting
relatively level when the sprayer chassis
and boom are level.
c) 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).

4.3.1 Boom Frame Roll Sensor Mounting
1. Use the supplied hardware to mount the
boom frame roll sensor (E04) as shown in
Figure 10.
When mounting the boom frame roll sensor
follow these guidelines:
a) To prevent bending the bracket, ensure
bolts are placed as close together as
possible (minimize Cin Figure 10).
b) Be sure to use the roll sensor without
the temperature probe (E04).
c) When the boom is centered (not rolled
over) the roll sensor should be level
with respect to the sprayer chassis.
d) It is best to mount the roll sensor to
the left hand trapeze link (when looking
from the rear of the sprayer).
e) The roll sensor AMP (circular)
connector MUST exit towards the
right had wing (when looking from
the rear of the sprayer).

Mounted to a Trapeze Link
2. Cable-tie the sensor connector to the frame
with enough slack to allow the link to rotate.
Make sure the bracket does not
collide with any parts of the sprayer
when the boom rotates. Also
ensure there is enough slack to
allow the roll sensor to rotate.

9
4.3.2 Chassis Roll Sensor Mounting
1. It is often best to cable tie the chassis roll
sensor in place. When mounting the chassis
roll sensor follow the guidelines and refer to
Figure 11.
The chassis roll sensor must be
mounted on a portion of the
sprayer that does not pivot and is
as close to the boom frame roll
sensor as possible (Figure 9).
a) Make sure you are using the roll sensor
with the temperature probe (E03).
b) Ensure the roll sensor is level with
respect to the chassis.
c) The AMP (circular) connector MUST
exit towards the right hand wing.
d) Make sure the temperature probe is
able to reach the side of the valve block.
Figure 11 – Chassis Roll Sensor Mounting
Check that the roll sensors and
cables will not interfere with, or
come into contact with any parts of
the sprayer.

10
4.4 ROLL SENSOR INSTALLATION (CENTER PIVOT STYLE BOOMS)
Mount the roll sensors to the included roll
sensor brackets using the machine screws
and nylon lock nuts. (Figure 12)
The roll sensors must be mounted
tightly to the brackets.
Figure 12 – Mounting the Roll Sensor to
the Roll Sensor Mounting Bracket
When mounting the roll sensors use the
following guidelines and refer to Figure 13.
a) The smaller the distance between Aand
Bin Figure 13, the better the
performance will be.
Distance A cannot 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).

Figure 14 – Roll Sensor Mounting with Respect to Sprayer Orientation
4.4.1 Boom Roll Sensor Mounting
The boom roll sensor (E04) must be
mounted to the rotating part of the
boom. Follow these guidelines and
refer to Figure 15 to mount the
sensor.
a) Make sure you are using the roll
sensor that does NOT have a
temperature probe (only one cable)
(E04).
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.
4.4.2 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 15.
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.
* The boom frame roll
sensor does not have a
temperature probe

4.4.3 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 4.4.

Performance

4.5 TEMPERATURE PROBE
1. Fasten the temperature probe (E03) to the
UC4 valve block using the included 3/8x1/2”
bolt as illustrated in Figure 17 and Figure
18.
2. Cable-tie the temperature probe cable and
AMP (circular) connector securely to a
frame member.

4.6 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Figure 19 – Cable Configurations: C02and
C02B
1. Disconnect the existing Sensor Branch cable
(C02) and insert the CAN Node cable
(C02B) (Figure 19).
2. Route the CAN Node cable (C02B) to the
roll sensors. Follow existing cables and/or
hydraulic lines.
3. Connect 4-pin AMP connectors on C02B to
the roll sensors (E03 and E04).
4. Cable-tie the installed cables every 12
inches.
IMPORTANT:
Provide enough slack in all cables to
account for the movement of the main
section, parallel lift, and FOLDING boom
movement.
4.7 COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
1. Reinstall the control panel and ultrasonic
sensors.
When installing the ultrasonic
sensors, start with the smallest
serial number on the left side
proceeding to the largest serial
number on the right hand side.
2. The procedure for the installation of the
UC4+ System is now complete. Begin the
AUTOMATIC SYSTEM SETUP procedure as
described in the UC4+ Sprayer Boom
Control Operator’s Manual (M01A).
