40 AutoBoom® Calibration & Operation Manual
Booms oscillate or
overreact when the
machine is stationary.
Sensitivity is set too high.
Gradually decrease the sensitivity setting until the
boom oscillation stops.
Wind affecting the sensor
readings.
Gradually decrease the sensitivity setting until the
oscillation stops.
Speed setting is too high.
Gradually decrease the speed setting until the
oscillation stops.
Center section is unstable.
Gradually decrease the stability setting to balance the
motion of the booms on both sides of the center
section.
Sporadic ultrasonic sensor
readings.
Inspect the sensor cabling for damage and repair or
replace as needed.
Booms raise but will not
lower or lower too slowly
during operation.
Incorrect PWM frequency is
entered.
Verify that the PWM frequency setting in the Raven
OS (60 Hz for square coil valves, 250 Hz for round
coil valves).
Speed setting is too low. Increase the speed setting.
Minimum pressure percent
setting is too high.
Gradually decrease the minimum pressure percent
setting until the booms lower at the desired rate.
The set pressure is too high
(PowerGlide Plus only).
Gradually decrease the set pressure by 10 until the
booms lower at the desired rate.
Inner and outer sensor
connections are reversed.
Check the inner and outer sensor connections and
switch if necessary.
Faulty ultrasonic sensor
readings.
Check the sensors and cabling and replace if
necessary.
Orifices or circuit
restrictions are causing
reduced return flow from
the tilt cylinders.
Inspect the AutoBoom hydraulic lines and remove
orifices or clear restrictions in the circuit if necessary.
Booms are slow to raise or
are unresponsive to height
changes
Speed setting is too low. Increase the speed setting.
Sensitivity setting is too
low.
Increase the sensitivity setting.
Excessive ground speed. Decrease the ground speed.
Incorrect sensor height
offsets entered.
Verify the proper height offset and adjust the settings
as needed. Refer to the Sensor Offsets Tab section
on page 15 for assistance with the sensor height
offset settings.
The orifices or circuit
restrictions are causing
reduced return flow from
the tilt cylinders.
Inspect the AutoBoom hydraulic lines and remove
orifices or clear restrictions in the circuit if necessary.
The system cannot be
switched from PowerGlide
Plus to UltraGlide mode.
Ultrasonic sensors are not
detected.
• Connect the sensor cables from the harness cable
to the sensors.
• Check the node cable connections.
• Repair or replace cables as necessary.
The outer sensors are
connected to the inner
sensor connectors (non-
dual sensor system).
Disconnect the sensors from the AutoBoom harness
cable and connect the outer sensor connectors to the
sensors.
UltraGlide node is not
connected to the CANbus
system.
Verify an AutoBoom UltraGlide node is connected to
the CANbus.
