Section 2: Automatic Setup

Automatic Setup walks through a series of steps that configures the NORAC UC5
electronics to the sprayer hydraulic functions. You must perform an Automatic Setup
routine after the NORAC UC5 system is installed. The following items are configured
during an Automatic Setup routine:

Sprayer Make and Model
Input module wiring and configuration
Number of sensors and location
Sensor zero point
Valve deadzone and gain values


Note: For detailed Automatic Setup information, see the NORAC UC5 manual.

Section 3: Retune

From time to time it may be necessary to recalibrate (Retune) the UC5 electronics to your
sprayer’s hydraulics. Examples of such times are:

When a hydraulic solenoid valve is changed.
When the hydraulic pump is changed or adjusted.
When the normal working temperature of the hydraulic oil has shifted significantly

from when the system was previously calibrated.


If you are running a pull type sprayer and use different tractors to operate the sprayer,
you should run the Retune procedure each time the tractor is changed. If you have a flow
control for the boom hydraulics, set it prior to tuning. If you change the flow setting by
more than 20 percent, you should Retune.

Section 4: Minimum Height Settings

Pressing the Sensors and Valve Drivers button on the NORAC UC5 window opens the
Sensor and Valve Driver Settings window. The following settings appear on the General
Tab.

Minimum Height Mode

The Minimum Height Mode drop-down menu includes three selections:

Absolute: In Absolute Mode, no sensors are allowed to move closer to the target

than the minimum height setting.

Relative: In Relative Mode, no sensors are allowed to move closer to the target than

the distance of the target height minus the minimum height setting.

Disabled: Disables the minimum height mode.


Note: “Target” refers to the ground in Soil Mode, and the crop canopy in Crop Mode.
