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.

3Main Lift Sensor Installation
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.
2. Mount the ultrasonic sensor to the main lift bracket. Ensure sensor cable is securely
fastened with cable-ties.
Avoid mounting the main lift sensor over or near a wheel-track. Measurements
from the wheel-track do not provide an accurate crop height and will cause
measurement and control.
Ensure the bracket does not collide with any other part of the sprayer throughout
the full range of main lift motion.

3.1 Ultrasonic Sensor Mounting Guidelines
The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor
measurement error.
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).

4Electrical Installation
1. Connect the main lift sensor to the 8-way coupler (E11) using cable C07 and the 2-way
coupler (E12). Cable C07 and item E12 may not be needed if the 8-way coupler is mounted
close enough to the main lift sensor.

5Software Setup
1. Start up the sprayer and test the sprayer’s functionality. The control panel does not need to
be powered on for the original switches to function.
Confirm that the cabling and hoses are agreeable to the entire range of motion.
2. If any functions do not work, review this manual to check for proper installation.
3. Turn on the power for the control panel using the switch on the side of the chassis.
4. Refer to the UC4.5 Spray Height Control Operator’s Manual to run an automatic install.
