9 Software Setup
1. Test the functionality of the original manufacturer’s boom controls. Power to the NORAC
control panel does not need to on be for the sprayer controls to function. Unfold the
booms and raise/lower each boom and main section. If one or more of these functions do
not work, review the hydraulic and electrical portions of this manual to check for proper
installation.
2. Confirm that the cabling/hoses are at agreeable lengths for the entire range of motion.
3. Prepare the spray boom for the software installation.
Unfold the booms and level to 90 cm (or 35 inch) nozzle height. Ensure the boom slant
is in its centered position.
At this point ensure the sensors are reading from an adequate and uniform target, such
as gravel or dirt. Do not attempt to perform the installation over grass or crop.
If the installation is done over concrete, place carpet beneath the sensors to avoid
sensor problems during the installation.
4. Switch on the UC4.5 control panel and find the HD4 sprayer type by toggling through the
sprayer list using the
buttons. For a 32 – 36m HAZ boom, select the HD6 sprayer
type. At this point two install options are available:
a. Complete Install- this will setup the entire Autoheight system, requiring fully range of
boom moment. Hydraulics will be calibrated to the hydraulic power unit connected.
To perform a complete install, press
and follow the on screen instructions.
b. Quick Install- this will require the boom to be unfolded at 90cm spray height but no
hydraulic movement will occur (hydraulic calibration will occur at a later time by
performing a “Retune” on the final hydraulic power unit. To perform a Quick Install,
press and hold
until “SENSOR” appears on the screen and release. Follow the on
screen instructions.
5. For more information on performing the software setup and calibration refer to the UC4.5
Operators Manual (M01).
