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 on the 45 degree tube using the
provided adapter plate (B16) Then
attach B13 directly to B16
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

9
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
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)
