CHAPTER 1
2 ROS AccuBoom™ Calibration & Operation Manual
OPERATOR CONTROL
Always be aware of the equipment position during field operations. Do not approach other field equipment, nurse
trucks or refilling stations, and etc. with automatic section control enabled. If the equipment travels outside of the
covered field area, or surrounding “no-spray” zone (if applicable), AccuBoom may activate sections unexpectedly.
It is good practice to toggle the equipment master switch off when the application system is not in use or when a
safe working distance has diminished.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Disconnect the Raven control console or ROS device and all electrical components of the Raven system before
jump-starting the vehicle or welding on any component of the implement.
• Always verify that power leads are connected to the correct polarity as marked or instructed. Reversing the
power leads could cause severe damage to the equipment or components.
• Ensure that the power cable is the last cable to be connected.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIRE ROUTING
The word “harness” is used to mean all electrical leads and cables, bundled and unbundled. When installing
harness, secure it at least every 30 cm (12in) to the frame. Follow existing harness as much as possible and use
these guidelines:
Harness should not contact or be attached to:
• Lines and hoses with high vibration forces or pressure spikes
• Lines and hoses carrying hot fluids beyond harness component specifications
Avoid contact with any sharp edge or abrading surfaces such as, but not limited to:
• Sheared or flame cut edges
• Edges of machined surfaces
• Fastener threads or cap screw heads
• Ends of adjustable hose clamps
• Wire exiting conduit without protection, either ends or side of conduit
• Hose and tube fittings
Routing should not allow harnesses to:
• Hang below the unit
• Have the potential to become damaged due to exposure to the exterior environment. (i.e. tree limbs, debris,
attachments)
• Be placed in areas of or in contact with machine components which develop temperatures higher than the
temperature rating of harness components
• Wiring should be protected or shielded if it needs to route near hot temperatures beyond harness component
specifications
Harnessing should not have sharp bends
Allow sufficient clearance from machine component operational zones such as:
• Drive shafts, universal joints and hitches (i.e. 3-point hitch)
• Pulleys, gears, sprockets
