1Safety Precautions
The UC5 Spray Height Control system will greatly improve your spraying height accuracy and
protect the boom against damage in a wide variety of field conditions. However, under some
circumstances performance may be limited. The operator of the sprayer must remain alert at
all times and override the automatic control when necessary.
Important
Under no circumstances should any service work be performed on the machinery
while the UC5 Spray Height Control system is in the Automatic Mode.
Always ensure that the UC5 Spray Height Control system is powered down or in
Manual Mode:
Before leaving the operator’s seat.
While the machine is not moving.
When transporting the machine.
Before working on any part of the booms:
Set the UC5 system to Manual Mode.
Turn the sprayer engine off.
Do not operate this system before:
Reading and understanding the operator’s manual.
Thoroughly understanding the machine operation.

2.2 Height Sensors
Height sensors use an ultrasonic signal to measure distance to the ground or crop canopy.
Normally there are three height sensors used. A sensor is mounted to the outer part of
each boom tip, and another sensor is mounted to the center section.
2.3 Roll Sensors
Roll sensors are important for measuring boom and sprayer roll dynamics.
Two roll sensors are normally used for a UC5 Spray Height Control system.
The mounting position of the roll sensors vary from sprayer to sprayer depending on
boom geometry and suspension.
2.4 Modules
Normally there are three modules included: a control module, an input module, and a
valve module.
Module status is indicated by a LED. Shortly after power-up, the module should present a
solid green light, indicating the module is functioning and ready.

4Operation
4.1 Main Run Screen
The majority of functional settings and controls can be accessed on the NORAC UC5 main run
screen. An image of the boom, with the height of each boom section is displayed.
To change between Automatic and Manual Mode, press the corresponding button. When the
boom is green, the UC5 system is in Automatic Mode. When the boom is grey, the UC5
system is in Manual Mode. If the boom is above normal working height, a warning message will
appear requiring permission to allow Automatic Mode.
When the UC5 Height Control system is in Automatic Mode, arrows will appear on the screen
above or below the boom sections. These arrows indicate the UC5 system is making a
correction to part of the boom in the displayed direction. Often times the correction will be
very small and there may not be a noticeable change in boom position.
Figure 2: NORAC UC5 Main Run-Screen
The height displayed on the boom is measured from the spray nozzles to the soil (Soil Mode)
or to the crop canopy (Crop Mode). If there are five height sensors on the sprayer, the height
displayed is the average for each boom section.
