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 E XISTING SYSTEM CHECK
It is necessary to check the existing system’s
functionality before installing the UC4+
Spray Height Control system
1 Drive your sprayer onto a flat piece of
land, with unobstructed boom movement
(e g no power lines)
2 Test that all boom functions operate
correctly As you test each function
check it off in Table 9
It is necessary to test the boom
functions in all directions

4.2 B OOM S PEED T EST
IMPORTANT:
Raise/lower all boom sections se eral
times to warm up the hydraulic system.
Grease all mo ing parts for consistent
results.
1 Lower each boom and main section as
close to the ground as possible
2 Set your sprayer at field working RPM
on the throttle and mark this value in
Table 10
You will need a stopwatch or a
watch that displays “seconds” for
the next step.
3 Raise the LEFT boom from its extreme
LOW position to the very TOP of its
travel Record the time this takes in
Table 10, “Trial #1” for “Left UP”
4 Lower the LEFT boom from its extreme
HIGH position to the BOTTOM of its
travel Record this time in Table 10,
Trial #1 for “Left DOWN”
Be careful when lowering the
booms so they don’t hit the
ground.
5 Similarly, record two more time trials
(Trial #2 & #3) for the LEFT boom and
record in Table 10.
6 Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the
RIGHT, MAIN and ROLL functions
Your sprayer may not ha e a roll
feature.
7 Average the three trials recorded for
each boom movement and record this
calculation in the “Average Time” slot in
Table 10.
8 These “Average Times” now represent
how quickly your system can react to
manual control In Section 4.8, this
procedure is repeated with the UC4+
Spray Height Control system installed
for comparison and troubleshooting
purposes

4.3 W ING S ENSOR I NSTALLATION
1 Assemble the Breakaway Sensor
Mounting Brackets (B11) as show in
Figure 4 and Figure 5
Figure 4 – Breakaway Sensor Bracket
Exploded View
Figure 5 – Breakaway Sensor Mounting
Bracket Assembly
To assemble the breakaway sensor
bracket:
a) Assemble the bolt and nut into the
collar
b) Grease the bottom edge of the collar
and the angled tube of the base
c) Place the collar onto the angled tube
of the mounting base
d) Install the spring between the collar
and the upper ring of the base
e) Insert tube through assembly and
tighten the collar
2 Mount the sensor bracket onto the boom
If possible, mount the sensor
brackets while the booms are in
their folded position to ensure that
they will not interfere with
anything when the boom is folded
for transport.
3 The sensor mounting brackets can be
installed with the mounting base behind
(Figure 8) or in front of the tube (Figure
6)
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.
Please refer to the UC4+ Spray Height
Control system warranty at the end of
the UC4+ Spray Height Control
Operator’s Manual (M01) for
implications
4 Mount the NORAC UC4+ ultrasonic
sensor (E02) into the sensor brackets
The sensors should be oriented forward
(ahead) of the boom (see Figure 6 and
Figure 8)
When installing the UC4+ sensors
(E02), start with the smallest serial

16
number on the left hand side
proceeding to the largest serial
number on the right hand side
(Figure 9).
5 Sensor cables should run through the
mounting bracket tube and then behind
the member the bracket is mounted onto
Cable-tie the connector in place The
cable must not be allowed to hang below
the boom (Figure 6)
Figure 6 – Another Acceptable Mounting
A oid mounting sensors in
locations where they may read
from parts of the boom as shown
in Figure 7.
Figure 7 – Poor Mounting
(Sensor Reading off Boom)
General mounting rules for UC4+
ultrasonic wing 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
