Norac 7465BC-LP Installation guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the provided installation manual for the NORAC Severe Terrain Option Low Profile brackets. This manual includes detailed instructions for installing the brackets, setting up the ultrasonic sensors, and performing the electrical connections. I'm ready to help answer any questions you may have about the installation process and the guidelines for optimal sensor performance.
  • Where should I mount the sensor brackets?
    What is the recommended torque for the M8 nut when mounting the sensor?
    Is it recommended to use dielectric grease on electrical connections?
    What should I apply to the threaded parts during installation?
