Electrical Installation
Prior to first use, complete these items (or verify that they
have been completed), then make the tractor-sprayer
electrical connections (see page 25).
Lights
The lights and harness are standard, and pre-installed
on the sprayer, but require the common SAE J560B
7-pin receptacle on the tractor. If your tractor does not
have this connector, your dealer can assist you with the
installation of one.
Raven SCS 450
The Raven SCS 450 (Sprayer Control System) is
standard, and the sprayer-side components (other than
speed sensor) are pre-installed.
The SCS 450 system consists of a computer-based
Control Console, a Speed Sensor, a turbine type Flow
Meter and a motorized Control Valve. The Console
mounts directly in the cab of the tractor for easy operator
use. The Radar Speed Sensor is mounted to the frame
of the tractor or sprayer (wheel drive and speedometer
Drive Speed Sensors are also available.) The motorized
Control Valve and Flow Meter mount to the framework
supporting the boom valves. Appropriate cabling is
furnished for field installation.
The controller module must be installed in the tractor cab
prior to first use, and must be connected to one or more
tractor systems, including:
•
battery power (red:+, black:-)
•
existing or new speed sensor, if tractor-mounted
(and if new tractor mount, the sensor must be
installed)
Your Great Plains dealer can assist with the installation.
A Raven installation and service manual are provided.
Once installed and connected for the first time, setup and
calibration steps are necessary prior to first field
operations. See “
It is important to read and understand the Raven manual
before operating the system.
The operator sets the target volume per area to be
sprayed and the SCS 450 automatically maintains the
flow regardless of vehicle speed or gear selection. A
manual override switch allows the operator to manually
control flow for system check-out and spot spraying.
Actual volume per area being applied is displayed at all
times. The SCS 450 additionally functions as an area
monitor, speed monitor and volume totalizer.
