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.

The 44933D is a direct replacement for the 44963D. Both valve blocks function the same. The
blocks are identifiable by the filter cap shape and by the part number stamped on the side.
The A and B ports are opposite on each valve block so verify that the hoses are being
connected to the correct port. The raise lines always go to the “B” port and the lower lines
go to the “A” port.

4 Pre-Install Checklist
The pre-install checklist is necessary to check the existing sprayer functionality before the
installation.
1. Unfold the sprayer over a flat, unobstructed area (i.e. no power lines…etc.).
2. Ensure all boom-fold operations are functional (place a check mark in boxes below).
3. Bring engine to field-operational RPM and record below.
4. Record the time (seconds) it takes for a full stroke for all boom functions. To ensure
repeatable measurements, take the average of 3 trials.
5. Not all sprayers will have the functions listed below in Figure 4.
Ensure the boom has sufficient travel so it does not contact the ground during these tests.
Figure 4: Pre-Install Boom Speeds

5 Ultrasonic Sensor Installation
5.1 Bracket Assembly
Assemble the breakaway sensor bracket as illustrated in Figure 5, following the instructions
below.
Figure 5: 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.
5. To install the sensor brackets on the 45 degree tube, use the sensor adapter plate B12 if
necessary.

5.2 Ultrasonic Sensor Serial Number Arrangement
When installing the UC5 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 UC5 sensor has a serial number
stamped on the sensor housing.

5.3 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 7: Sensor Mounting Guidelines

13
5.4 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 UC5 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
controller 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.
Figure 8: Sensor Reading Off Boom

14
5.5 Main Lift Sensor Installation
Figure 9: Main Lift Bracket Assembly
1. There are a variety of ways to mount the main lift bracket on most sprayers. The bracket
should position the sensor approximately in the center of the sprayer, forward of the boom.
An example of this mounting is illustrated in Figure 10.
2. Mount the ultrasonic sensor to the main lift bracket. Run the sensor cable down the center of
the main lift bracket tube.
Figure 10: Example Mounting of the Main Lift Bracket
Ensure the bracket does not collide with any other part of the sprayer throughout the full
range of main lift motion.

15
6 Roll Sensor Installation
6.1 Bracket Assembly
1. Securely mount the roll sensors to the included roll sensor brackets using the #6 machine
screw and nylon lock-nuts.
2. The orientation of both roll sensors 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 11: Mounting Roll Sensor to Bracket
Figure 12: Roll Sensor Orientation - Connector Facing Right Wing

16
6.2 Roll Sensor Mounting Guidelines: Front Mounted Rigid Booms
1. When mounting the roll sensors, mount one to the boom and one to the chassis near the
sprayer cab.
Figure 13: Roll Sensor Mounting on a Front Mounted Rigid Boom
2. Ensure the roll sensors are relatively level when the sprayer boom and chassis are level.
3. Both roll sensor cables must be pointing towards the right hand wing of the sprayer when
looking from the rear of the sprayer.
4. Ensure both roll sensors are mounted adequately and that the cables provide enough slack to
allow sufficient boom roll.

17
6.3 Boom-Frame Roll Sensor Mounting
1. Install the roll sensor with the lowest serial number onto the top part of the center boom
section on the left hand side of the boom. The roll sensor must be mounted with the
connector facing the right boom when viewed from the rear of the sprayer.
Figure 14: Hagie Boom Frame Roll Sensor Mounting
Ensure the boom frame roll sensor does not collide with any parts and the cable has
sufficient slack for the boom to travel though its entire range of motion.
