Setting up
the Display
1. Refer to the Quick Reference Guide, PN: 2002831-38 for
setting up the Display
2.
Enter the default settings from the following chart as an initial setup.
NOTE: If it becomes necessary to change one of these default
settings make changes to one value at a time so that changes can be
evaluated accurately.

Description
Control Valve
Configuration
In Line
Servo
Rate control is achieved through actuating a butterfly or ball valve in
the solution hose that goes to the booms. When the valve opens, the
flow increases, and when the valve closes, the flow decreases.
Valve
Response 1
100%
Determines the speed of the servo valve when product control error
exceeds the
Response Threshold
setting. Decreasing the value will
cause the servo valve to run slower.
Valve
Response 2
24%
Determines the speed of the servo valve when product control error is
less than the Response Threshold setting. Decreasing this value will
cause the servo valve to run slower.
Allowable
Error
2%
Determines the percent error that is allowed prior to the product
control system making any flow rate corrections. 2-3% is the normal
Allowable Error Range Too low of a setting will cause the system to
continually hunt for the target application rate. Too high of a setting
will cause excessive application error
Response
Threshold
3
Determines the control system switches between using Valve
Response 1 and Valve Response 2 speed settings. Decreasing this
value will have the overall effect of speeding up the servo valve
response. Increasing this value will have the overall effect of slowing
down servo valve response.
NOTE: Leaving all other valve control settings at the default value
and making a small adjustment to the Response Threshold is
usually all that is required to fine-tune the control system.
Flowmeter
Cal*
*See Note
This is the pulses per gallon through the flow meter. Note: Raven
flowmeter calibration numbers are in pulses per 10 gallons of product
flow. Divide the Raven calibration number by 10 before entering into
the Ag Leader Display.
* Verify the flowmeter calibration number by checking information tag on the flowmeter.
