Do not use high speed power tools/drills when installing hardware.
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.

4Ultrasonic Sensor Installation
4.1 Bracket Assembly
Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 4, following the instructions
below.
Figure 4: Breakaway Bracket Assembly
1. Compress the spring and insert it together with the collar into the base.
2. Slide the tube through the assembled part.
3. Using the bolt and nut, tighten the collar to the tube with the sensor tube centered.
4. Apply a small amount of grease to the rotating surfaces of the bracket.

8
4.2 Ultrasonic Sensor Serial Number Arrangement
When installing the sensors, start with the smallest serial number on the left-hand side, and
proceed to the largest serial number on the right hand side. Each sensor has a serial number
stamped on the sensor housing.
Apply a light coating of the supplied Permatex Anti-seize grease to all threaded
parts upon installation.
Figure 5: Sensor Serial Number Arrangement

4.3 Ultrasonic Sensor Mounting Guidelines
The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor
measurement error. These rules should be followed for both the wing sensors and the main
lift (middle) sensor.
1. In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (23 cm) or more from the ground (A).
2. The centerline of the acoustic cone should be approximately vertical at normal operating
heights (A).
3. The bottom of the sensor must be at least 9 inches in front of the spray nozzles and boom
structure (B). (This does not apply for the main lift sensor)
4. The bottom of the sensor must be at least 9 inches above the spray nozzles (C).
5. Ensure there are no other obstructions with a 12 inch (23 cm) diameter circle projected
directly below the sensor (D).
Figure 6: Sensor Mounting Guidelines

10
4.4 Wing Sensor Installation
1. The sensor bracket should be oriented forward (ahead of the boom).
2. Typically the best mounting location for the wing sensor brackets will be near the end of
the boom tips, approximately two feet (60cm) from the end.
3. Depending on the boom design, some breakaway sections will lift upwards as they break
back. If the sensor is mounted to this portion of the boom, the system will force the boom
downwards towards the ground as the boom folds backwards.
4. Mount the NORAC ultrasonic sensor into the sensor bracket and run the sensor cable
through the sensor tube.
A problem can arise if a sensor is not mounted correctly. It is possible for the
sensor to read off of the boom instead of the ground. This may only become
apparent once the control system is switched from soil to crop mode.
Also be careful that the sensor bracket does not collide with any other part of the
boom when the boom is folded to transport position. If possible, mount the sensor
brackets while the booms are folded to ensure they will not cause interference.

5Roll Sensor Installation
5.1 Bracket Assembly
1. To mount the roll sensors, the roll sensor brackets will have to be bent. The brackets are
supplied with a 90° bend and must be bent back to a 45° bend.
2. Securely mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the #6 machine
screws. Tighten screws to 10 in-lbs (1.1 Nm).
3. The orientation of the mounted roll sensor to the roll sensor bracket will depend on the
bracket mounting. The roll sensor CANbus connector must be pointing towards the right
side of the sprayer (when looking from the rear of the sprayer).
Figure 8: Mounting Roll Sensor to Bracket
Figure 9: Roll Sensor Orientation - Connector Facing Right Wing

12
5.2 Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Front Mounted Rigid Booms
1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount the roll sensor with the temperature probe on the
boom and the roll sensor without the temperature probe on the chassis near the sprayer
cab.
Figure 10: Roll Sensor Mounting on a Trapeze Suspended Boom
2. Ensure the roll sensors are relatively level when the sprayer boom and chassis are level.
3. Both roll sensor cables should be pointing towards the right hand wing of the sprayer.
4. Ensure both roll sensors are mounted adequately and that the cables provide enough slack
to allow sufficient boom roll.

5.3 Temperature Probe
Once the block is mounted, fasten the temperature probe from E03 to the NORAC valve
block using the included 3/8x1/2” bolt as illustrated in Figure 13.
Figure 13: NORAC Valve Block with Temperature Probe Installed

6Electrical Installation
1. Install the UC4.5 Control Panel (E01) in the cab of the sprayer. Mount the panel where it
will be clearly visible and within easy reach of the operator. In the Hagie cab, a good spot
to mount the UC4.5 control panel is on the right hand side of the cab, next to the spray
controller.
Figure 14: Cable Configurations: C01, C06 and C10
2. Connect the UC4.5 power cable (C10) to the 16-pin connector on the back of the UC4.5
Control Panel in the cab. Connect C01 to the 4-pin connector on the back of the UC4.5
Control Panel. Cable tie C10 and C01 to the RAM mount to help provide strain relief.
3. Connect C06 to C01 using the 2-way coupler (E12).
4. Connect C04 to the 6-pin tower on C10.
Only connect the 3-pin shroud on C10 on sprayers with model number 2101.
5. Connect the terminals on C10 to the battery terminals under the cab.
6. Tee the 24-pin connectors in the Hagie joystick connection on the side of the console.

15
7. Route C04 and C06 to the front of the sprayer in the vicinity of the valve block.
8. Connect the valve cable (C03) to C04. Connect the 2-pin connectors on C03 to the
NORAC valve block, as shown in Figure 15.
9. The connectors on the valve cable (C03) are marked RIGHT UP, LEFT UP, RIGHT
DOWN and LEFT DOWN. Cables labeled with UP go on the same side as the
hydraulic hoses.
Figure 15: Valve Cable Connections
10. Fasten the 8-way coupler to the boom with cable ties. Connect C06 to the 8-way coupler.
11. Connect the boom frame roll sensor to the 8-way coupler. Connect the chassis roll
sensor to the 8-way coupler using cable C08 and a 2-way coupler (E12).
12. Connect two cables (C05) to the 8-way coupler and route along the booms to the wing
sensors. Follow existing cables and hoses to be sure the cable will not be pinched or
stretched.
13. At the sensor brackets, attach a 2-way coupler with terminator (E20) to the sprayer boom.
The 2-way coupler with terminator is the white two way coupler. Plug the sensor and the
CANbus cable into the 2-way coupler.
IMPORTANT:
Provide enough slack in all cables to account for the movement of the main
section, parallel lift, and FOLDING boom movement.

7Hydraulic Installation
Ensure all pressure has been bled from the system before disconnecting any lines
or fittings. Hydraulic pressure will exist on the wing tilt circuits unless the wings
are being supported by other means. The hydraulic installation may be performed
with the wings in transport position, resting on the ground or with the tilt cylinders
fully extended.
Component failure due to oil contamination is not covered under the NORAC
UC4.5 system warranty. It is recommended that a qualified technician perform the
hydraulic installation.
7.1 Valve Assembly
1. On a clean surface remove the plastic plugs from the block.
2. Install two 6MB-6MJ (F05) fittings on the “P” and “T” ports on the NORAC block. Tighten
to 18 ft-lbs (24 Nm).
3. Insert the two orifices (F08) into the “B” ports with the notch facing out.
4. Insert the two orifices (F08) into the “A” ports with the notch facing in.
5. Install the 6MB-6MJ (F05) fittings into the “A” and “B” ports on the NORAC block. Tighten
to 18 ft-lbs (24 Nm).
Figure 16: NORAC Valve Block Details

17
7.2 Valve Block Mounting
Ensure that no hydraulic components will interfere with any sprayer parts or be
pulled tight at any time.
1. A suitable mounting location for the valve block is illustrated in Figure 17.
2. Bolt the NORAC valve block to the mounting bracket (B12).
3. Remove the two bolts holding the Hagie valve block in place on the right side of the center
rack. Bolt the supplied valve mounting plate (B12) in this location using the longer bolts
(supplied with the bracket) (Figure 17).
