NORAC UC5-BC-ECHO-VT - Manual (Page 13)

9
6 Operation
6.1 Initial Start Up
On the initial start up, after confirming the legal disclaimer, a screen will appear informing the
operator that an Automatic Setup must be performed. After confirming this screen, the
Automatic Setup will begin (Section 8.2). The Automatic Setup reminder at startup will also
be shown each time a firmware update is performed.
6.2 Main Run Screen
Once the system is correctly configured, it is very simple to use. After confirming the legal
disclaimer, the Run screen will appear. For a virtual terminal, from the display’s start up screen,
select the UC5™ icon. An image of the boom, with the height of each boom section is
displayed as shown in Figure 5.
To change between Automatic and Manual Mode, select the corresponding “AUTO” (A) or
“MANUAL” (M) button. When the UC5™ system is in Automatic Mode, the “AUTO” button
and the line under the top right boom section are green. When the “MANUAL” button is
green and the line under the top right boom section is black and dotted, the system is in
Manual Mode. If the center boom is above normal working height (typically 60 inches/150 cm),
a warning message will appear requiring the boom to be lowered before allowing Automatic
Mode to be activated. The normal working height is customized for each sprayer type so it
may not be 60 inches (150 cm) on all sprayers.
Figure 4: Over Height Warning
When the UC5™ Spray Height Control system is in Automatic Mode, arrows will appear on
the screen above or below the boom sections. These arrows indicate the UC5™ is making a
correction to part of the boom in the displayed direction. Often, the correction will be very
small and there may not be a noticeable change in boom position.
