Baud Rate
Settings Additional Information
9600
Some older controllers are only capable of 1200 baud.
Such controllers must be upgraded.
CAUTION – Some Raven controllers do not support zero rates.
If the target rate is zero, and spray is still being applied, you
must turn off the boom sections manually.
Rawson and New Leader
The Rawson and New Leader controllers use a nominal flow rate (Yield) and a step size to describe
rates.
If you have a dual-channel Rawson Accu-Rate controller, see Rawson and New Leader (page 262).
1.
At the Edit Variable Rate Controller settings screen, set the default rate to match the yield
value (or nominal flow rate) in the Rawson controller.
Any non-zero rate will be adjusted to the nearest value that the controller can select. A rate of
zero turns off the hydraulic drive.
Note – For best result when creating prescriptions, use rates in 2%, 4%, or 6

% increments of the
default rate. Select the percentage used on the FM-1000 integrated display.
2. Put the controller into GPSmode. This allows the display to change the rates on the controller.
(Without GPSmode, the display will log only the rates being used.)
a. Turn on the controller.
b. Tap the MODE button twice.
c. Tap the SET button to switch the controller between GPS and non-GPS.
3. Set up communication between the FM-1000 integrated display and the controller:
a. Connect the display to the controller with Rawson cable (P/N 69730) and cable (P/N 67091).
b. Set the controller baud rate to 9600.
Using the controller
When in GPS mode, the hydraulic drive operates only when both the switch and the display allow
the drive to be on. Set the hydraulic drive switch on the controller to the ON position. If you need to
quickly turn off the hydraulic drive, use the switch on the controller.
