ISOBUS PRODUCT CONTROL NODE CALIBRATION
If operating in a granular application mode, the spreader constant replaces the meter cal value. To maintain
system accuracy, re-calibrate the spreader constant anytime the gate height of the machine is adjusted. Refer to
the Spreader Constant section on page 64 for assistance calculating the value of the spreader constant.
NOTE: When controlling an anhydrous ammonia (NH
3
) applicator with the Raven ISOBUS product control
node, be sure to enter the pounds [kilograms] of (N) meter cal value.
VALVE DELAY
Use the valve delay option to include a delay in seconds between turning on the control valve (turning on
sections) and when the product control nodes begin to control the flow rate. This feature is useful when starting
product application at lower speeds than normal application speed such as coming out of headland areas.
NOTE: A value of zero must be entered when using a close-type valve, such as a fast close or PWM close
valve.
FOR EXAMPLE:
The control valve remains at the position when the master switch is toggled off when coming to the end of a swath
and entering a headland area.
Without a valve delay set, as the vehicle leaves the headland area and the master switch is toggled back on, the
node and control valve will immediately adjust the rate of product application. If the vehicle speed is slower than
normal application speeds, the control valve will begin closing to adjust for the slower speed until the normal
application speed is reached.
Using a valve delay value of 2 seconds, when the master switch is toggled back, the node and control valve will
wait two seconds before adjusting the for vehicle speed. This allows the machine to reach normal application
speed and helps maintain the application pattern upon re-entry from the headland area.
TANK OR BIN CAPACITY
The tank or bin indicator on the product control home screen displays a tally of product remaining based upon the
capacity value. The tank or bin volume is the volume of product currently in the tank or bin, not the capacity of the
tank or bin. Set this value to the normal volume of product in a full tank or bin.
SELF TEST SPEED
Enter a value approximately equal to normal application speeds to allow the system to control product application
functions while the vehicle remains stationary. The test speed is useful for checking or troubleshooting the product
control system.
NOTE: This is only used internally on the Product Controller. This is not sent to any other ECUs.
The currently set self test speed is displayed in this area. Select this value to enter a test speed.
The test speed will clear if the field computer receives a pulse from the actual speed sensor. To keep the test speed
from disengaging, disconnect the speed sensor from the system.
