Norac UC7-BC-JD12A Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm here to help you with the NORAC UC7 Boom Height Control System installation. I've reviewed the provided manual and understand it covers the installation of the system on John Deere R4030, R4038, and R4045 sprayers, including hydraulic, electronic, and ultrasonic sensor setup, and also a software setup. I can assist with questions about the installation process, system specifications, and features.
  • What is the maximum hydraulic pressure for this system?
    What is the rated supply voltage for this system?
    What is the operating temperature range for this system?
