Figure 1 – System Components and General Location
NOTICE:
Every effort has been made to ensure the
accuracy of the information contained in this
manual. All parts supplied are selected specially
to 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.
ATTENTION:
When installing the UC4+ Spray Height Control
system please be aware that at a point in the
installation your sprayer booms will be
inoperative until the installation is complete.
Any installation procedure requiring boom
movement will need to be done first. Once the
hydraulics have been disconnected you must
complete the electrical installation before the
booms become operative.

4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
4.1 WING SENSOR INSTALLATION
1. Assemble the Breakaway Sensor Mounting
Brackets (B11) as show in Figure 3 and
Figure 4.
Figure 3 – Breakaway Sensor Bracket
Exploded View
Figure 4 – Breakaway Sensor Mounting
Bracket Assembly
To assemble the breakaway sensor bracket:
a) Assemble the bolt and nut into the collar.
b) Grease the bottom edge of the collar and
the angled tube of the base.
c) Place the collar onto the angled tube of
the mounting base.
d) Install the spring between the collar and
the upper ring of the base.
e) Insert tube through assembly and tighten
the collar
2. Mount the sensor bracket onto the boom.
If possible, mount the sensor brackets
while the booms are in their folded
position to ensure that they will not
interfere with anything when the boom
is folded for transport.
3. The sensor mounting brackets can be
installed with the mounting base behind
(Figure 7) or in front of the tube (Figure 5).
It is advised to avoid mounting the
sensor bracket to a breakaway portion
of the boom because a breakaway
action can cause the UC4+ Spray
Height Control system to force a boom
close to the ground.
4. Mount the NORAC UC4+ ultrasonic sensor
(E02) into the sensor brackets. The sensors
should be oriented forward (ahead) of the
boom (see Figure 5 and Figure 7).
When installing the UC4+ sensors
(E02), start with the smallest serial
number on the left hand side
proceeding to the largest serial number
on the right hand side.
6
5. Sensor cables should run through the
mounting bracket tube and then behind the
member the bracket is mounted onto. Cable-
tie the connector in place. The cable must
not be allowed to hang below the boom
(Figure 5).
Figure 5 – Another Acceptable Mounting
Avoid mounting sensors in locations
where they may read from parts of the
boom as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6 – Poor Mounting
(Sensor Reading off Boom)
General mounting rules for UC4+
ultrasonic wing sensors:
a) In its lowest position, the sensor mouth
must be 9 inches or more from the
ground.
b) The bottom of the sensor must be at least
9 inches in front of the spray nozzles.
c) The bottom of the sensor must be at least
9 inches above the spray nozzles.
d) Ensure that there are no obstructions
within a 12-inch diameter circle projected
directly below the center of the sensor.
e) The sensor should be approximately
vertical at normal operating heights.

4.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
4.2.1 Control Panel
1. Install the UC4+ 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.
A good spot to mount the UC4+ control
panel is on the right hand side of the cab to
the Roll Over Protection Bar (ROP). Four
pilot holes for the screws provided need to be
drilled to facilitate the control panel
mounting.
Another option is to purchase an adapter for
the flexible panel mount that has a 3/8" NC
threaded stud on the end to bolt through an
existing mount. You can find these at your
local outdoor store as a RAM mount part
number RAM-B-236. (See
http://www.ram-mount.com/)
