1Introduction
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.

3Ultrasonic Sensor Installation
3.1 Ultrasonic Sensor Serial Number Arrangement
When installing the ultrasonic 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 ultrasonic 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 2: Sensor Serial Number Arrangement
Only the brackets shown in black are included in this kit.
The E07 sensors will be mounted in the positions shown in black.
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.
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.

3.2 Low Profile Bracket Mounting Guidelines
1. Minimize the distance between the bolts to prevent bending the bracket and prevent the
bracket from loosening over time.
2. Ensure the bracket is mounted tight against the bottom of the boom, minimizing the
distance between the boom structure and the angled flange.
Figure 3: Bracket Mounting Guidelines
3.3 Sensor Bracket Installation
1. The sensor bracket should be oriented forward (ahead of the boom).
2. Mount the sensor brackets onto the boom half way between the tip and center of the
sprayer.

3.4 Ultrasonic Sensor Mounting Guidelines
The following guidelines will ensure optimal sensor performance and prevent sensor
measurement.
1. In its lowest position, the sensor must be 9 inches (230 mm) or more from the ground.
2. Ensure that there are no obstructions within a 12 inch (300 mm) diameter circle projected
directly below the center of the sensor.
3. The sensor should be approximately vertical at normal operating heights.

3.5 Sensor Installation
1. Move the ultrasonic MAX sensors (E07) from the outer wing brackets to the newly installed
inner wing brackets with the lower serial number on the left (Figure 2). Run the sensor
cable either through hole in the back or through the side cut-out and behind the bracket.
Ensure the cable is clear of moving parts and will not be damaged during folding.
2. Install the ultrasonic sensors (E05) into the outer wing brackets with the lower serial
number on the left (Figure 2). Run the sensor cable either through hole in the back or
through the side cut-out and behind the bracket. Ensure the cable is clear of moving parts
and will not be damaged during folding.
3. Remove the 2-way coupler with terminator (E20) from the outer sensor and install it at the
inner sensor.
4. Install the 3-way coupler (E10) at the outer sensor. Plug the existing CANbus cable (C05)
and the sensor cable into the 3-way coupler.
5. Connect the CANbus cable (C06) between the 2-way coupler with terminator (E20) and
the 3-way coupler (E10).
Components shown in black are included in this kit.
Components shown in blue are existing components.
