We have a 5 sensor Norac system on our 4920 that my grandpa got talked into by a salesman that told him it was better than boomtrac.

I’ve used the Greentronics system in a Case 4420 with 100’ boom. It’s sold as AutoGlide XR in the US and you can choose between a 2,3,4 or 5 sensor system. System has a self calibration mode after it is put on and has a stand-alone control box. Runs about $6800. Works great
