1Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the NORAC UC4.5 Spray Height Control System. This
system is manufactured with top quality components and is engineered using the latest
technology to provide operating reliability unmatched for years to come.
The enhanced stability option is designed to improve performance on booms that have multiple
pivot geometries, or problematic pivot behavior. By providing the UC4.5 system with
additional roll information, this option allows the boom to be managed more effectively for
spray height control.
When properly used the system can provide protection from sprayer boom damage, improve
sprayer efficiency, and ensure chemicals are applied correctly.
Please take the time to read this manual completely before attempting to install the system. A
thorough understanding of this manual will ensure that you receive the maximum benefit from
the system.
Your input can help make us better! If you find issues or have suggestions regarding the parts
list or the installation procedure, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in
this manual. All parts supplied are selected to specially 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.

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.

3Roll Sensor Installation
1. Determine the location where the Reference Frame roll sensor will be mounted. It must
be mounted on the sprayer chassis on a non-moving part.
2. Securely mount the roll sensor to the included roll sensor bracket 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 connector must be pointing towards the right side of
the sprayer (when looking from the rear of the sprayer).

The system will not function properly unless the cable on the roll sensor is facing
the right hand wing.
The roll sensors must be installed in the following order:
The lowest serial number on the boom frame.
The intermediate frame roll sensor must be the roll sensor with a
temperature probe.
The highest serial number on the reference frame.
