CONSOLE CALIBRATION
1. CALCULATING "BOOM CAL"
1) Broadcast Spraying
Calculate the width of each boom in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips times the spacing.
Write these boom widths down for future reference when programming the Console.
2) Band Spraying
Calculate the width of each boom in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips by the spacing.
Calculate the Adjusted Applied Rate by multiplying the Broadcast Rate by Band Width in inches
[cm] divided by Spacing in inches [cm].
EXAMPLE: Broadcast Rate = 20 GPA [200 lit/ha]
Spacing = 40 inches [100 cm]
Band Width = 14 inches [40 cm]
Adjusted Applied Rate =
GPA x Band Width
Spacing
= 20 x 14 = 7 GPA
40
= [200] x [40] = [80 lit/ha]
[100]
2. CALCULATING "SPEED CAL"
Initial SPEED CAL is 598 [152] when using the Raven radar. Complete Steps 1 thru 6 to refine this
number after "INITIAL CONSOLE PROGRAMMING" has been completed.
1) Set POWER switches to ON, all other switches to OFF.
2) Enter "0" in .
3) Drive 1 mile [1 kilometer]. To achieve the most accurate calibration, accelerate and decelerate
slowly.
CAUTION: Do not use vehicle odometer to determine distance. Use section lines or
highway markers.
4) Read DISTANCE by depressing . DISTANCE should read a value of approximately 5280
[1000]. If it reads between 5260-5300 [990-1010], the SPEED CAL for the vehicle is 598 [152]. If
the DISTANCE display reads any other value, perform the following calculation:
