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 movement will
need to be done first. Once the hydraulics
have been disconnected you must complete
the electrical installation before the booms
become operative.

4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
4.1 SENSOR INSTALLATION
It is advised to avoid mounting the
sensor bracket to a breakaway
portion of the boom because a
breakaway action can cause the
UC4+ system to force a boom close
to the ground.
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).
Avoid mounting sensors in
locations where they may read
from parts of the boom as shown
in Figure 4.
The main lift sensor must not be
located behind the sprayer’s
wheel.
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.
