Product Control Type
To properly configure the field computer for field operations, select the type of system which the Viper Pro will
be used to monitor or control:
1. Touch Menu, Setup, Prod. Control. The Select Controller screen will be displayed.
2. Select the appropriate controller setting from the list of available options.
a. If the Viper Pro field computer will be used to control a CANbus control system, verify that the CAN
option is selected.
Note: If the Viper Pro is set up as the CAN controller, the boom sense/speed node, and at least one
product control node must be programmed to allow the Viper Pro to control application of a product
during a field application.
b. If the Viper Pro will be connected to a separate Raven rate control console via a serial cable, select the
specific rate controller from the list of controller model options.
Note: In this mode, the calibration information presented in following sections will need to be entered on
the serial control console. To complete the initial set up of the Viper Pro field computer, refer to the
Boom or Section Cal section on page 46 to set up the boom or section configuration on the Viper
Pro field computer to match the rate control console. Refer to the rate controller or console manual
for details on programming the console for rate control operations.
c. If the Viper Pro will be used to provide guidance for a towed implement without rate control capabilities,
select the ‘Manual’ option.
3. Touch OK to accept the displayed selection and return to the Main screen.
4. The field computer must be restarted before the control type changes will take affect.
